Socket 1/2" 15 mm (6-point) JCB JCB-54515

1/2" drive 15 mm 6-point socket from JCB, model JCB-54515. Designed for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and handles, this steel socket fits 15 mm fasteners and provides a 6-point profile for secure engagement. Suitable for automotive, mechanical and general repair tasks where a durable, correctly sized socket is required.

Advantages

The 6-point profile reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads and ensures positive torque transfer. Constructed from heat-treated steel, the socket offers dimensional stability and resistance to wear under repeated use. The 1/2" drive interface provides compatibility with a wide range of ratchets, extensions and breaker bars, enabling use in both light-duty and heavier applications. The 15 mm size covers a common metric fastener, reducing the need to substitute slightly different sizes.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and wheel/engine fasteners
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of machines and equipment
• General repair and maintenance in workshops and home garages
• Work requiring higher torque using 1/2" drive tools and extensions

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket size: 15 mm
• Point profile: 6-point
• Material: heat-treated steel
• Finish: corrosion-resistant coating

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or handle and attach the socket by pressing it onto the drive square until it locks. Place the socket over the 15 mm fastener ensuring full engagement of the 6-point profile. Apply torque smoothly; for high-torque tasks use appropriate extensions or a breaker bar. After use, clean off dirt and debris and store the socket in a rack or case to maintain its condition.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with tools rated for 1/2" drive to avoid damage. Avoid using impact tools unless the socket is specifically marked for impact use. Regularly inspect the socket for wear or deformation and replace if rounded or cracked to maintain safety and performance.
