Socket 6-point 1/2" 28 mm Unior U600869

Unior Socket 6-point 1/2" 28 mm U600869 is a single-piece chrome socket intended for use with 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. The 6-point internal profile provides a firm grip on hexagonal fasteners, helping to reduce the risk of rounding and ensuring even torque distribution. Designed for durability and frequent use, this socket is suitable for automotive, mechanical and industrial maintenance tasks where a reliable connection to bolts and nuts is required.

Advantages

The socket’s 6-point design offers secure contact with hex fasteners, minimizing slippage and wear on fastener corners. Manufactured as a single forged piece with a chrome finish, it resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools allows use with common ratchets and torque wrenches to deliver controlled torque application. Its 28 mm size covers a common range of medium-to-large fasteners found in vehicle and equipment maintenance.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance (engine, suspension, wheel nuts where 28 mm applies)
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks in workshops
• Industrial maintenance and equipment servicing
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, breakers and torque wrenches

When it may not be suitable

This 28 mm 6-point socket is not suitable for fasteners that require a different drive size or specialized profiles such as spline, star/torx, or external impact-only hex. It is also not intended for direct use with impact wrenches unless the socket is specifically rated for impact service; using a chrome hand socket on pneumatic or electric impact tools may cause damage or personal injury.

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket type: 6-point (hex) single-piece
• Nominal size: 28 mm
• Finish: chrome
• Intended use: hand-driven ratchets and torque wrenches

How to use

Select the 28 mm Unior socket for a matched hex fastener and fit it onto a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket fully seats over the fastener head before applying force. When tightening to a specific torque, use a calibrated torque wrench and apply steady, even force. When loosening seized or corrosion-affected fasteners, apply controlled force and consider applying penetrating lubricant first. After use, wipe the socket clean and store in a socket rail or toolbox to protect the chrome finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm fastener head size is 28 mm and compatible with a 6-point internal profile
• Ensure your toolset includes a 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench
• Decide whether you need hand-rated chrome sockets or impact-rated sockets for power tools

Usage recommendations

Use this Unior 6-point 28 mm socket with hand ratchets and torque wrenches for accurate torque application and reduced fastener damage. Avoid using chrome hand sockets on impact tools; choose impact-rated sockets for pneumatic or electric impacts.
