Description

Hand Socket 1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point 25mm

Overview

This 25mm 6-point hand socket is built for precision fastening work in automotive, industrial, and maintenance environments. The 1/2-inch square drive design integrates seamlessly with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and power tools, making it an essential addition to any professional toolkit. Whether you're stocking for a full-service shop or completing a socket set, this size bridges common fastener applications. Consider pairing it with smaller 6-point sockets and larger 30mm or 32mm options to build a comprehensive drive system.

Key Features

  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Bright metallic silver coating provides corrosion resistance and professional appearance, suitable for indoor and outdoor shop environments
  • Knurled Grip Band: Textured middle section improves handling control, reducing fatigue during extended socket engagement
  • Standardized Dimensions:
    • Overall length: 42mm
    • Maximum diameter: 34mm
    • Wall thickness: 18mm
    • Optimized weight-to-strength ratio for hand tool operation
  • Square 1/2-Inch Drive: Universal compatibility with ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and impact-rated accessories

  • Entry-Level Price Point: The 25mm size targets common fastener applications, making it attractive for budget-conscious buyers and bulk fleet purchases
  • Complete Set Potential: Bundle with adjacent sizes to increase average order value and customer lifetime value
