Socket 1/2" 24mm, Honiton H1724, 12-point

Honiton 12-point 1/2" socket, size 24 mm, is a hand and power tool accessory designed for driving 12-point fasteners and bolts. Made to be used with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches, this socket provides an interface between standard drive tools and 24 mm 12-point heads commonly found in automotive, industrial and mechanical applications.

Advantages

This 24 mm 12-point socket offers compatibility with 1/2" drive tools and allows engagement with 12-point fasteners in confined or repositioned access situations. The 12-point configuration permits easier alignment with bolt heads compared to 6-point sockets, and the chrome-finish construction resists corrosion while enabling straightforward cleaning. Precision-machined internal faces help distribute torque evenly across the fastener to reduce rounding.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel or engine work requiring 24 mm fasteners
• Machinery maintenance where 12-point bolts are used
• General mechanical and assembly tasks with 1/2" drive tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch (square drive)
• Socket type: 12-point
• Nominal size: 24 mm
• Material/finish: chrome-style corrosion-resistant finish
• Intended use: compatible with ratchets, torque wrenches and impact drivers rated for 1/2" sockets (verify tool compatibility)

How to use

Select the 24 mm 12-point Honiton socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the socket fully seats on the fastener head before applying torque. When using a torque wrench, apply the specified torque slowly and steadily. After use, wipe the socket clean and store it on an organizer or in a toolbox to protect the finish and avoid losing the tool.

Usage recommendations

Use this socket with tools and fasteners within their rated torque limits. For high-torque or impact applications, confirm the socket and the drive tool are rated for such use. Avoid using damaged or visibly worn sockets to prevent fastener damage or slippage.
