Description

1/2-Inch Drive Spline Impact Socket, 12mm Hex, CR-MO Steel

Overview

This is a professional-grade impact socket engineered for demanding fastening applications where precision and durability are non-negotiable. The 12mm hex spline design pairs seamlessly with standard 1/2-inch square-drive impact tools, making it an essential addition to any shop's socket inventory. The chrome-molybdenum construction with black-oxide finish ensures long service life under repeated impact cycles. Stock this alongside our selection of 12-point impact sockets for a complete fastening solution across hex and multi-point applications.

  • 12mm Hex Spline Drive: Clean, secure engagement with minimal cam-out risk; prevents fastener rounding
  • 1/2-Inch Square Female Drive: Universal compatibility with all standard 1/2-inch pneumatic and manual socket wrenches
  • Black-Oxide Finish: Corrosion resistance and professional appearance; withstands shop floor conditions
  • Ball-Detent Retention Groove: Holds sockets securely on drive shaft; reduces socket loss during operation
  • Compact Length (75mm): Space-efficient design for confined fastening spaces and tight working areas
