Description

1/2-Inch Drive L-Handle Socket Wrench, 250mm Length

Brief Overview

The 1/2-inch drive L-handle is a compact, single-piece socket driver engineered for mechanics who need precise access in tight or angled working positions. Its rigid 90° design provides controlled leverage without flexibility, making it ideal for situations where a straight or angled approach is required. For extended reach applications, consider pairing this with flexible socket extensions to maximize your toolkit's versatility.

Key Features

  • 1/2-inch male square drive on both ends with spring-loaded ball detents for secure socket retention
  • 250mm total length with an optimal 90° bend configuration for angled fastener access
  • Knurled grip section along the straight leg ensures a secure, non-slip hand position even in oily conditions
  • Single-piece metal construction with corrosion-resistant plated finish for durability in workshop environments
  • Captive ball detents at both ends prevent socket separation during use
  • Compact design ideal for working in engine bays, beneath dash panels, and other confined spaces where standard breaker bars won't fit

Business Advantages

  • Essential toolkit addition for any 1/2-inch drive socket set—mechanics expect L-handles as standard equipment
  • Low acquisition cost paired with high perceived value makes this a must-stock item for resellers
  • Broad application range across automotive, light industrial, and maintenance work increases inventory turnover
  • Complements existing inventory of 1/2-inch drive sockets and extensions without overlap or redundancy
  • Professional-grade construction justifies margin while building customer confidence in your product sourcing

Application & Value Proposition

This L-handle excels in scenarios where a straight wrench cannot reach or where angular leverage is needed. The knurled grip provides tactile control during socket engagement and removal, while the robust single-piece construction eliminates wear points that plague articulated handles. Its compact 250mm length makes it portable enough for on-site work while remaining substantial enough for controlled fastener turning.

Mechanics appreciate the simplicity and reliability of this design—no moving parts, no flex, no surprises. For your customers working on modern vehicles with complex engine layouts, fuel systems, or brake assemblies, this handle is often the difference between a 10-minute job and a frustrating search for the right tool angle.
