• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches and breaker bars

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Length: 55 mm
• Configuration: single-piece socket for hex fasteners
• Compatibility: fits standard 1/2" drive tools

How to use

Select the socket that matches the hex size of the nut or bolt. Secure the socket onto a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, torque wrench or breaker bar. Position the socket squarely over the fastener, apply steady turning force and operate the drive tool in the required direction to tighten or loosen the fastener. When using torque-sensitive operations, verify torque wrench settings before applying final torque.
