Socket 6-point 1/2" 15 mm King Tony model 433515MR KY433515MR

King Tony 6-point socket for 1/2" drive, 15 mm size, designed to engage the flat sides of hex fasteners for secure torque transfer and reduced rounding. The hand socket is intended for use with standard 1/2" drive ratchets and breakers and is suitable for automotive, mechanical and industrial maintenance tasks where a 6-point contact profile is preferred.

Advantages

This 6-point socket provides a precise fit on hexagonal fasteners, minimizing slip and rounding by matching the flat sides rather than corners. Constructed for hand-tool applications with a 1/2" drive interface, it allows reliable torque application with common ratchets and breaker bars. The 15 mm size covers many standard metric fasteners encountered in vehicle repair and machinery maintenance.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel or engine fastener work
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of machinery
• Industrial maintenance tasks requiring standard hex engagement
• Workshop tool sets paired with 1/2" drive ratchets and breaker bars

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (female square drive for ratchet and breaker bar engagement)
• Socket profile: 6-point (hex) for flat-side engagement
• Nominal size: 15 mm
• Intended use: hand socket for torque delivery with hand tools

How to use

Select the 15 mm 6-point socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or breaker bar. Position the socket fully over the hex fastener so the flats are engaged. Apply steady torque, avoiding sudden shocks, and reverse direction as needed to loosen or tighten the fastener. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear before use and ensure the drive connection is fully seated during operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this 6-point socket on well-fitting hex fasteners to reduce rounding; avoid using on damaged or heavily rounded heads. For high torque applications, use a breaker bar or appropriate torque wrench and ensure tools are rated for the required torque. Store the socket in a clean, dry tool set to prevent corrosion and inspect periodically for cracks or distortion.
