Hex Socket 3/4" (25 mm) STANLEY 6-point drive — model 1-89-325

STANLEY 6-point hex socket 3/4" (25 mm), model 1-89-325, is a single replacement socket engineered for use with compatible 3/4" drive handles, torque wrenches and extensions. The socket features a 6-point internal profile that increases contact area with hex fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding and allowing more efficient torque transfer for workshop, automotive and light industrial applications. Constructed to meet common durability and fit expectations for hand-tool sockets, this 25 mm unit is intended as a straightforward spare or replacement component where a precise fit and reliable engagement are required.

Advantages

The 6-point design ensures concentrated contact on flat faces of hex fasteners, improving grip and lowering the chance of slippage under load. The socket is sized to standard 25 mm dimensions, providing compatibility with tools and fasteners sized to the same standard. Built for practical workshop use, the socket offers straightforward interchangeability with other 3/4" drive accessories and is suitable as a single-piece replacement when only one specific size is needed.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair involving 25 mm hex fasteners
• Workshop assembly and disassembly tasks requiring a 3/4" drive socket
• Light industrial bolting where a 6-point profile reduces fastener damage
• Use with torque tools and extensions compatible with a 3/4" drive

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4" (19.05 mm) compatible drive
• Socket size: 25 mm hex
• Point profile: 6-point (hex) internal design
• Material and finish: hardened tool steel with typical workshop protective coating (manufacturer standard)
• Intended use: manual tightening and loosening with compatible 3/4" drive tools

How to use

Select a compatible 3/4" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench and fit the socket onto the tool square until it locks or seats securely. Position the 25 mm socket over the hex fastener, ensure full seating on the fastener flats, and apply torque smoothly to tighten or loosen. When using a torque wrench, follow the torque wrench manufacturer's instructions and set the correct torque value for the fastener. After use, wipe the socket clean and store it with other drive tools to prevent corrosion and maintain fit.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the socket on damaged or rounded fasteners; inspect fasteners before applying torque. Avoid using the socket with impact tools unless it is specifically rated for impact service. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow tool and fastener torque specifications to prevent injury and equipment damage.
