Socket 1/2" Drive STANLEY STMT86513-0, Imperial 95×45 mm, 58 g

STANLEY STMT86513-0 is a 1/2" drive imperial socket designed for fastening and loosening nuts and bolts in workshop, automotive and maintenance environments. Forged from chrome vanadium steel with a high chrome finish, this socket offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The MaxiDrive profile improves contact with fastener heads to reduce slippage, while the visible size marking simplifies identification during use. With overall dimensions of 95×45 mm and a weight of 58 g, the tool balances reach and compactness for general service tasks.

Advantages

The chrome vanadium construction provides durability and resistance to wear and corrosion. The MaxiDrive profile enhances torque transfer and reduces the risk of rounding fasteners. Clear size markings allow fast selection of the correct socket. The 1/2" square drive is compatible with standard ratchets and handles used in automotive and workshop tool sets. Its compact weight supports comfortable handling during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• General workshop mechanical work
• Equipment assembly and disassembly
• Field service and maintenance tasks
• Home DIY projects requiring imperial drive sockets

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" square drive (imperial)
• Design: 6-point socket with MaxiDrive profile
• Material: chrome vanadium steel with high chrome finish
• Overall dimensions: 95 mm length × 45 mm width

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar and attach the socket by pushing it onto the square drive until it clicks or seats securely. Position the socket squarely on the nut or bolt head, then apply steady torque in the required direction to tighten or loosen. Avoid using damaged fasteners or applying excessive impact on non-impact rated sockets; inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before use. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry tool chest or socket rail to maintain the finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with appropriate hand tools: a 1/2" drive ratchet for general work and a breaker bar for higher torque applications. Do not use a standard chrome socket with impact wrenches; choose impact-rated sockets for pneumatic or battery impact tools. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate storage points to prevent corrosion and ensure long service life.
