Socket 1/2" 12-point 15 mm long STANLEY 0-17-281

STANLEY 1/2" 12-point 15 mm long socket provides extended reach and a 12-point profile for secure engagement on hexagonal heads and studs. Engineered for use with 1/2" drive ratchets and breakers, the long design allows access to recessed fasteners in tight or deep applications. The tool is intended for automotive, mechanical and maintenance use where a precise fit and extra length improve access and control.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry enables easier alignment with fasteners in confined spaces while maintaining firm contact across the fastener flats. The long socket construction increases reach without sacrificing strength, allowing work on recessed nuts, studs and bolts. Compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools ensures straightforward integration into existing tool sets, and the precise 15 mm sizing provides reliable fit for metric fasteners.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening recessed nuts and bolts in engine bays
• Maintenance and repair of mechanical equipment with deep-set fasteners
• Workshop and garage use where extra socket length is needed
• General automotive repair tasks requiring a 15 mm socket

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Socket profile: 12-point
• Socket length: long type for extended reach
• Socket size: 15 mm
• Compatible with: 1/2" drive ratchets and breakers

How to use

Select the 15 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar. Position the socket over the hexagonal head or stud, ensuring the 12-point openings engage the fastener flats. Apply steady turning force, taking care to maintain alignment; use a breaker bar for stubborn fasteners and a torque wrench where torque control is required. After use, clean any debris from the socket and store it with the rest of the drive set.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate safety equipment and follow recommended torque values for threaded fasteners. Avoid excessive impact in the socket corners to reduce wear; for high-torque impact applications consider tools specified for impact use.
