Socket STANLEY STMT86511-0 1/2" drive, imperial sockets, length 94 mm, width 43 mm

The STANLEY STMT86511-0 1/2" drive socket is an imperial-size hand tool created for fastening and loosening nuts and bolts in automotive, mechanical and maintenance work. With compact dimensions of 94 mm length and 43 mm width and a lightweight construction (approx. 56 g), this socket is suited for handheld use and working in confined or hard-to-reach spaces. The tool is compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets and extensions, enabling use in repair, assembly and routine maintenance tasks.

Advantages

This socket is made from chrome vanadium steel with a high-chrome finish to resist corrosion and provide durability under repeated use. The 6-point profile improves grip on fastener heads to reduce rounding, and the socket’s necked-down design increases access in narrow working areas. Clear dimension marking helps quick identification of the correct size during jobs.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and service work
• Mechanical maintenance and assembly
• Tight-space fastening and loosening tasks
• Use with 1/2" ratchets and extensions for general repairs

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" (imperial)
• Socket type: 6-point

How to use

Attach the socket to a compatible 1/2" ratchet or extension and engage it onto the fastener head. Apply steady torque in the required direction to tighten or loosen the fastener. For work in confined spaces, use appropriate extensions or universal joints to improve access while maintaining control. After use, clean the socket of debris and store it in a tool rack or case to protect the chrome finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with the correct 1/2" drive tools and apply torque within the limits of the fastener and tool. Avoid using the socket with impact wrenches unless it is explicitly rated for impact use. Regularly inspect for wear, corrosion or rounding before use to ensure safe operation.
