Socket 1/2" 24 mm (6-point) JCB JCB-54524

Hex socket 1/2" drive, 24 mm size, 6-point by JCB. This socket is designed for engagement with hexagonal fasteners and fits a standard 1/2-inch square drive ratchet or breaker bar. The 6-point geometry gives full face contact to reduce rounding on nuts and bolts while providing stable torque transfer for workshop, automotive repair, and general maintenance tasks that require a reliable 24 mm socket.

Advantages

The 6-point profile ensures maximum contact with hex fasteners, minimizing slippage and damage. A 1/2" square drive offers compatibility with common hand tools and torque wrenches used in garages and professional workshops. The 24 mm size covers a wide range of medium-sized fasteners found in engines, suspension components, and machinery assemblies.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and tire and wheel work
• General workshop maintenance and assembly
• Mechanical and industrial equipment servicing
• Home DIY projects requiring medium torque

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" square drive
• Socket size: 24 mm (metric)
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: turning hexagonal nuts and bolts

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench and attach the 24 mm 6-point socket until it clicks or seats securely. Position the socket fully over the hex fastener to ensure even contact on all six faces before applying torque. For loosening, apply steady force and avoid sudden impacts; for tightening, use a calibrated torque wrench when specific torque values are required. Inspect the socket and fastener surfaces for wear or damage prior to use.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with tools rated for the expected torque to avoid tool or fastener damage. Keep the socket clean and free of debris, and store it in an organized socket set to prevent corrosion and loss. Replace the socket if deformities or excessive wear appear on the contact faces.
