Description

12-Point 1/2-Inch Drive Socket, 9mm

Brief Overview

This 12-point socket is engineered for precision fastener work where standard 6-point sockets may lack access or cause rounding. The double-hexagonal profile provides multiple contact points, reducing cam-out risk on smaller fasteners. Finished in durable chrome-plated steel with a knurled grip band, this socket integrates seamlessly into any 1/2-inch drive system. Stock this size alongside larger 12-point variants and impact-rated 3/4-inch drive options to cover the full range of shop requirements.
