Socket set 1/2" 12-point Honiton HA401, 10 pieces, sizes 10–24 mm

Honiton HA401 is a 10-piece 12-point socket set with a 1/2" square drive, covering metric sizes from 10 mm to 24 mm. The set includes the most commonly used socket sizes for automotive repair, maintenance and general mechanical work. Designed for use with compatible 1/2" ratchets and torque tools, these 12-point sockets engage fasteners with reduced rounding risk on hex heads and offer easier alignment in confined areas.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry allows quicker engagement on fasteners and provides multiple contact angles for convenient access in tight spaces. A 1/2" drive delivers the leverage needed for medium to heavy fastening and loosening tasks. The set’s metric range from 10 mm to 24 mm covers common sizes used on cars, motorcycles, bicycles and workshop machinery. Durable finish and precise machining ensure consistent fit and reduced fastener wear when used with appropriate torque limits.

How to use

Select the socket that matches the fastener size, place it fully onto the nut or bolt head, and attach the socket to a compatible 1/2" ratchet or torque wrench. Apply steady, controlled force while keeping the socket square to the fastener to avoid slipping. For tightening to a specific specification, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the torque values recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Inspect sockets for wear or damage before use and replace if deformation or cracking is visible.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and matched hand tools. Avoid applying impact loads with sockets not rated for impact use. Store the set in a dry place and keep sockets clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion and ensure long service life.
