Description

12-Point 1/2-Inch Drive Socket, 35mm Chrome-Plated

Brief Overview

This 35mm 12-point socket delivers the precision and durability your shop needs for consistent, reliable fastening work. The 12-point double-hexagon profile provides multiple contact angles, reducing the risk of rounding or slipping on fastener corners—critical for demanding automotive and industrial applications. Chrome-plated finish offers corrosion resistance and extended tool life. Compatible with standard 1/2-inch square drive ratchets and breaker bars, it integrates seamlessly into any professional workshop. For broader fastening coverage, consider pairing this with smaller 12-point sockets or upgrading to larger 3/4-inch drive options for heavy-duty applications.
