Socket Key 1/2" Proline Gala 12-point 13mm

Proline Gala 1/2" 12-point socket key, 13 mm, made for 1/2" drives. Constructed from chrome-vanadium steel and subjected to precise hardening and tempering, this 12-point socket delivers the hardness and toughness required for mechanical, automotive and maintenance tasks. The PRO-DRIVE profiled edges between the contact faces reduce point loading and protect fastener heads and flat edges from excessive wear.

Advantages

The 13 mm Gala socket is manufactured to exceed DIN 3124 and PN-ISO 1711 strength requirements. Chrome-vanadium construction and controlled heat treatment provide high durability and reliable torque transmission. The PRO-DRIVE profile improves contact with bolt heads, minimizing rounding and slippage while allowing access in confined spaces thanks to the compact 12-point design.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and servicing
• General mechanical assembly and maintenance
• Workshop and garage applications
• Professional and DIY fastening tasks where 1/2" drive is used

How to use

Fit the 13 mm Gala socket onto a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Use controlled force appropriate to the fastener specification to avoid damage. For stubborn or seized fasteners, use a breaker bar and work incrementally rather than applying sudden impact.

Usage recommendations

Store the socket in a dry toolbox or rack to prevent corrosion. Regularly inspect contact faces for wear and replace if rounding or deformation appears. Use the socket with correctly sized fasteners and appropriate torque to maximize service life.
