Socket 12-point 1/2" 29 mm STANLEY 888014

STANLEY 12-point 1/2" 29 mm socket is a hand tool designed for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and extensions. Manufactured from steel, the socket engages 12-point fasteners and bolts with a 29 mm size, providing a fit intended for automotive, industrial, and general mechanical repair tasks. Its compact length and 12-point geometry allow access to hexagonal and bi-hexagonal heads in confined spaces while supporting standard torque applications.

Advantages

The 12-point design permits easier alignment with fasteners and allows engagement on both hex and bi-hex heads, reducing time spent repositioning the ratchet. Made from steel, the socket offers durability for repeated use under typical workshop conditions. The 1/2" drive interface is compatible with a wide range of ratchets, extensions, and breakers used in automotive and industrial maintenance.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance where 29 mm fasteners are present
• Industrial machinery assembly and servicing
• Mechanical workshops and general equipment maintenance
• Tight spaces requiring a 12-point socket profile for easier engagement

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket profile: 12-point
• Socket size: 29 mm
• Material: steel
• Typical length: short/standard length suitable for medium-reach applications

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or extension and attach the socket by pressing it onto the square drive until it locks. Position the socket over the 29 mm fastener so the 12-point recess fully engages the fastener head. Apply steady turning force with the ratchet, extension, or breaker bar as required. For tightening, use controlled torque to avoid over-tightening; for loosening, ensure the tool and fastener are properly supported to prevent rounding.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket for visible wear or damage before use and ensure it sits squarely on the fastener. Use appropriate torque settings and avoid impact tools unless the socket is rated for impact use. Store sockets in a rack or organizer to prevent loss and protect driving faces.
