Socket bit, Honiton H2636, 3/4" drive, 36 mm, 12-point

Honiton H2636 is a 36 mm, 12-point socket designed for use with standard 3/4" drive tools. It is engineered to engage hexagonal fasteners with a 12-point profile, allowing multiple engagement positions and improved access in confined spaces. The socket transfers torque from drive tools to bolts and nuts for automotive, industrial and maintenance tasks where a robust connection and precise fit are required.

Advantages

The 12-point design provides easier alignment with fasteners and permits use on both hex and some rounded corners, reducing time spent repositioning the socket. Compatibility with 3/4" drive tools ensures reliable torque transfer and secure grip on high-torque applications. The 36 mm size suits large bolts commonly found in engines, machinery and structural assemblies. The socket's manufactured dimensions deliver consistent fit and repeatable performance under regular workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and heavy-duty vehicle maintenance
• Industrial machinery assembly and disassembly
• Construction and structural bolting tasks
• Plant maintenance and equipment servicing

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4" compatible
• Socket opening: 36 mm
• Point profile: 12-point
• Intended use: engagement with hexagonal fasteners
• Primary applications: torque transfer and secure grip on bolts and nuts

How to use

Select a 3/4" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench and attach the socket by pushing it onto the drive square until it secures. Position the 12-point socket onto the fastener, ensuring full engagement, then apply torque as required. For loosening, use controlled force or a breaker bar; for tightening, use a calibrated torque wrench where specified. Remove the socket by pulling it off the drive square after use and store it to avoid corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or deformation before use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow specified torque values to prevent fastener or tool damage. Avoid using the socket on severely rounded or damaged fasteners where slippage may occur; consider a different tool type if required.
