Brief Overview
This 9mm hand socket delivers precise, controlled fastening for applications requiring manual torque application and tactile feedback.

Whether you're stocking individual specialty sizes or building a complete range of precision hand sockets, this 9mm variant fills a critical gap in metric fastener coverage.
Key Features
- 6-Point Hex Profile — Eliminates cam-out on slightly rounded or damaged fastener corners, reducing rework and customer complaints
- 50mm Extended Length — Reaches fasteners in confined spaces without requiring extension bars or improvisation
- 1/4-Inch Square Drive — Compatible with standard hand ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars for controlled torque application
