Socket set Honiton H4006 1/2" hex long sockets 10–19 mm, 6 pieces

Honiton H4006 1/2" hex long sockets set contains six long 6-point sockets in metric sizes 10, 11, 12, 13, 17 and 19 mm. The set is built for use with a standard 1/2" drive ratchet or extension and is intended to provide extended reach for recessed or hard-to-access fasteners. These long hex sockets are suitable for workshop, automotive and machinery maintenance where extra length and a secure 6-point contact are required.

Advantages

The long 6-point design reduces rounding of bolt heads by concentrating torque on the flats rather than the corners. Extended socket length improves access to recessed bolts, studs and nuts without the need to remove surrounding components. Compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools ensures easy integration into existing tool sets, while the selected metric range covers common fastener sizes used in automotive and machine maintenance.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and servicing
• Industrial and machinery maintenance
• General workshop and DIY tasks requiring extra reach
• Working with recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (standard square drive)
• Socket type: 6-point (hex) long sockets
• Metric socket sizes: 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 19 mm
• Quantity: 6 pieces
• Intended use: access to recessed fasteners and tighter spaces

How to use

Select the socket that matches the fastener size, place it fully onto the nut or bolt to ensure a secure 6-point engagement, and attach to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or extension. Apply steady torque, avoiding sudden impacts if using hand tools, and use appropriate extensions or universal joints when reaching into tight or angled positions. After use, clean sockets of debris and store them in a protective case or rack to prevent damage and corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the socket size exactly to the fastener, use the correct length of extension to avoid leverage on the socket body, and inspect sockets regularly for wear or rounding before critical jobs. When working on rusted or tightly torqued fasteners, consider applying penetrating lubricant and using controlled torque application methods.
