1/2-Inch Drive Hex Bit Socket, 4mm to 19mm, Chrome-Plated Steel

Overview

This is a straightforward, reliable hex bit socket designed for professional workshops and service technicians. The socket accepts standard 1/2-inch drive ratchets and extension bars, making it compatible with your existing tool infrastructure. Available in 11 sizes—4mm through 19mm—this range covers the majority of hex fastener applications in automotive assembly, machinery maintenance, and precision mechanical work. The chrome-plated steel construction resists corrosion and maintains a polished appearance through heavy shop use. If you're building a complete socket set, consider pairing these with complementary socket kits in similar size ranges for maximum operational flexibility.
