Why This Socket Matters
The 60mm opening positions this socket at the upper end of hand-tool fastening capacity—ideal for applications where pneumatic or electric impact tools are impractical or where controlled torque application is required. The 6-point profile provides superior corner protection compared to 12-point alternatives, making it the preferred choice for demanding industrial environments where fastener damage directly impacts operational costs.
