Socket 1/2" 12-point 30 mm long, NEO tools 08-084

Long 1/2" drive 12-point socket, 30 mm size from NEO tools, model 08-084, is built for accessing and turning fasteners with a 12-point profile. The extended length provides additional reach into recessed or hard-to-reach nuts and bolts. The socket fits standard 1/2" square drives and is intended for use with ratchets and torque wrenches that accept that drive size.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry allows engagement with fasteners at multiple indexing positions, which can speed up positioning in confined spaces. The long design increases accessibility for deep-set nuts while maintaining compatibility with common 1/2" drive tools. Manufactured to workshop standards, the socket offers a secure fit on hex and 12-point heads and supports higher torque transfer when used with appropriate drive tools.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance tasks
• Machinery and equipment servicing
• Workshop and industrial bolting operations
• Situations requiring reach into recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" square drive compatibility
• Socket profile: 12-point
• Nominal size: 30 mm
• Type: long / deep socket for extended reach
• Intended use: tightening and loosening bolts and nuts

How to use

Select the 30 mm 12-point socket and mount it onto a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying force. Position the socket over the fastener and turn the ratchet or apply controlled torque with a torque wrench, observing the fastener manufacturer's torque specifications where applicable. For removal, back off the fastener by turning in the opposite direction while maintaining a secure grip on the tool.

Usage recommendations

Use with a properly sized 1/2" drive ratchet or calibrated torque wrench. Inspect the socket for wear or deformation before use. Avoid using impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use, and apply torque within the recommended limits of the drive tool and fastener.
