Socket 1/2" 36 mm, 6-point, NEO tools 08-036

NEO tools 1/2" 36 mm 6-point socket is a single-size hand tool engineered for reliable engagement with hexagonal nuts and bolts. With a 1/2" drive and a 36 mm head, the socket is compatible with common ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars used in automotive repair, industrial maintenance and general workshop operations. The 6-point configuration concentrates contact on flat faces of fasteners to reduce rounding and improve torque transfer.

Advantages

The socket’s 6-point profile ensures secure grip on hexagonal fasteners and lowers the risk of slippage. Its single-piece construction provides strength and durability during repeated use with ratchets and torque tools. The standardized 1/2" drive allows straightforward connection to a wide range of handles and extensions, making the socket versatile for both confined and open-access fastener locations.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair where 36 mm nuts or bolts are present
• Industrial machinery assembly and servicing
• Workshop tasks requiring controlled torque application with a 1/2" drive
• Use with extension bars to reach recessed fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket size: 36 mm
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Compatibility: designed for use with ratchets, torque wrenches and extension bars
• Construction: single-piece socket for strength and durability

How to use

Select the socket by size and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or extension bar. Fit the socket squarely over the hexagonal fastener, ensuring full contact on the flat faces. Apply turning force gradually, increasing torque as required; when using a torque wrench, set the required torque value before applying final tightening. Remove the socket by reversing the process and store it in a suitable holder to protect the driving end.

Usage recommendations

For accurate torque application, use this 36 mm socket with a calibrated torque wrench and avoid impact tools unless the socket is specifically marked for impact use. Inspect the socket before use for wear or damage and replace if deformation or cracking is visible. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with hand tools.
