Description

12-Point 1/2-Inch Drive Socket, 27mm, Deep Length

Brief Overview

This 27mm 12-point socket delivers the precision engagement mechanics that professional mechanics demand for fastener work. The 12-point design provides superior contact with 12-sided fastener heads, minimizing the risk of rounding and cam-out compared to 6-point alternatives. Built with a deep chamber length (42mm), it accommodates recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners. Whether you're stocking a full socket set or filling specific gaps in your inventory, this socket integrates seamlessly with standard 1/2-inch drive tools. Consider complementing this with smaller 12-point variants or larger 3/4-inch drive impact sockets for a comprehensive range.
