Socket set, Honiton H4001 — 1/2" hex impact sockets 11–24 mm, 10-piece

Honiton H4001 is a 10-piece set of 1/2" drive hex impact sockets in metric sizes from 11 mm to 24 mm. The set is intended for use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches and ratchets and provides six-point socket geometry to reduce rounding of fastener heads. Designed for heavy-duty impact applications, these sockets cover common medium to large metric bolt and nut sizes for automotive repair, industrial maintenance, and general workshop use.

Advantages

The six-point design ensures secure engagement with hex fasteners and distributes torque evenly across the flats to minimise wear. Manufactured for impact use, the sockets resist cracking and deformation under repeated high-torque loads. The 1/2" drive interface offers compatibility with standard impact wrenches and breaker bars. The set includes a practical range of sizes, reducing the need to switch tools during typical repair and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and tyre/wheel work
• Industrial maintenance and equipment servicing
• Workshop general repairs and assembly
• Heavy-duty fastening and removal of medium to large metric bolts and nuts

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Socket type: six-point (hex) impact sockets
• Material: impact-grade steel (suitable for repeated high-torque use)
• Size range: 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 24 mm
• Quantity: 10 pieces
• Intended use: compatible with impact wrenches and ratchets

How to use

Select the socket that matches the fastener size, push it firmly onto the 1/2" drive tool, and seat it fully onto the fastener before applying torque. When using an impact wrench, hold the tool steady and apply intermittent power to avoid sudden over-torquing. After use, inspect sockets for cracks, rounded edges, or deformation and replace any damaged pieces. Store the set in a dry place to prevent corrosion and keep sockets organized by size.

Usage recommendations

Use these sockets only with compatible 1/2" drive impact tools and avoid using standard hand-only sockets on impact tools. For stubborn or rusted fasteners, apply penetrating lubricant and use controlled, short bursts with the impact wrench. Replace sockets that show visible damage to maintain safe, reliable operation.
