Socket 1/2" Drive, Metric 37 mm — King Tony 437516M

King Tony 437516M is a 1/2" drive metric socket with a 37 mm nominal size and a 37 mm overall length. Machined from chrome vanadium alloy steel and finished with a polished chrome plating, this 37 mm socket is intended for use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions. Its standard six-point profile and four ball retaining grooves ensure secure attachment to tools and reliable torque transfer for automotive, mechanical and industrial fastening tasks, while the compact 37 mm length and 68 g weight help when working in confined spaces.

Advantages

The socket’s chrome vanadium alloy construction provides strength and wear resistance for frequent use. Polished chrome plating offers corrosion protection and facilitates cleaning after exposure to oils and grime. Four ball retaining grooves keep the socket firmly on the drive tool during use, reducing the risk of detachment. The socket conforms to DIN 3120 dimensional standards, delivering consistent fit and interchangeability with other standard 1/2" drive components.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and chassis fastenings requiring a 37 mm socket
• Industrial maintenance where a compact 1/2" drive socket is needed
• Mechanical assembly or disassembly in confined spaces
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and extensions

How to use

Select the 37 mm socket and fit it onto a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or extension. Ensure the retaining ball engages in one of the grooves to secure the socket to the drive. Position the socket squarely on the fastener and apply torque through the ratchet or wrench within the tool’s rated limits. For torque-critical applications, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the fastener manufacturer’s specified torque values. After use, wipe the socket clean and store in a dry tool organizer to maintain the plated finish.

Usage recommendations

Do not exceed the maximum torque rating of the drive tool. Avoid using the socket with impact tools unless it is specifically rated for impact use. Regularly inspect the socket for wear, cracks or rounding; replace if any damage is found to ensure safe and reliable operation.
