Socket 1/2" 36mm (6-point) Rockforce RF-54536

Rockforce RF-54536 is a 1/2" drive, 36 mm six-point socket designed for use with ratchets and torque tools. It is intended for tightening and loosening hex fasteners such as nuts and bolts and is suitable for automotive, mechanical and industrial maintenance tasks. The six-point profile is engineered to reduce rounding and provide a secure grip under torque, while the 1/2" drive size makes it compatible with common hand and power drive tools.

Advantages

The six-point design concentrates contact on the flats of fasteners to minimise slippage and rounding, improving longevity of both the socket and the fastener. Constructed for use with 1/2" drive tools, the socket offers a balance of strength and accessibility for medium to high torque applications. A precise 36 mm internal diameter ensures a snug fit on matching hex heads, helping to transfer torque efficiently and reliably.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel nut and suspension fastener removal and installation
• General mechanical assembly and maintenance
• Industrial equipment repair and maintenance tasks requiring 36 mm sockets
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, breakers and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Socket opening diameter: 36 mm (six-point profile)
• Point configuration: 6-point for hexagonal fasteners
• Intended use: tightening and loosening nuts and bolts
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard 1/2" drive hand and torque tools

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench and attach the Rockforce 36 mm six-point socket by aligning the drive square and pushing until it locks. Place the socket squarely onto the fastener head, ensure full engagement on the flats, and apply torque steadily. When using a torque wrench, set the required torque value and apply force until the wrench indicates the set value. After use, remove the socket from the drive and store in a dry tool case to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the six-point socket when possible for hex fasteners to reduce rounding; avoid excessive impact on worn fasteners and follow torque specifications for the application to prevent over-tightening or damage.
