Socket 1/2" 36mm 12-point, Proline RF-54936

Proline 1/2" 36mm 12-point socket RF-54936 is a hand tool accessory designed for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. The 36 mm size fits hexagonal and twelve-point fasteners used in automotive, industrial maintenance, and mechanical repair applications. Its 12-point profile allows more engagement angles, which helps access fasteners in confined spaces while maintaining secure contact during tightening and loosening operations.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry enables multiple engagement positions, reducing the need to reposition the ratchet on tight workspaces. Constructed for hand-tool use, the socket is compatible with standard 1/2" drive tools, providing straightforward interchangeability with common ratchets and extensions. The 36 mm diameter covers a common metric fastener size often found on suspension components, driveline parts, and industrial fittings.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs—wheel hubs, suspension and drivetrain fasteners
• Industrial maintenance of machinery and assembly lines
• General mechanical and workshop tasks requiring a 36 mm socket

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket size: 36 mm
• Point profile: 12-point
• Intended use: hand tool for tightening and loosening fasteners

How to use

Select the 36 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Place the socket squarely over the fastener head, ensuring full contact on the 12 points, then apply controlled torque in the required direction. When using a torque wrench, apply the specified torque value for the application. After use, store the socket in a designated tool tray or holder to prevent loss and protect the engagement surfaces.

Usage recommendations

For best results, inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow manufacturer torque specifications when tightening critical fasteners. Avoid using the socket on damaged or rounded fasteners to prevent additional rounding of the component.
