Having reliable and dependable tools can make any mechanic’s or maintenance engineer’s life easier, so be sure to find a home in your tool box for the STEELMAN PRO 60516 1/2-Inch Drive x 1-1/4-Inch Deep 6-Point Impact SAE Socket. Constructed of durable and heavy-duty chrome vanadium (CrV) steel, this shallow socket has the strength required for high torque jobs and will fit onto any 1/2-inch drive electric or pneumatic impact wrench, hand ratchet, torque wrench, extension bar, or adapter. Thanks to its deep design this socket can easily reach nuts on extended bolts and those located in small recesses without the need of additional extension bars. This socket features a rust and corrosion resistant black phosphate protective finish. The socket’s 6-point design grips the sides of fasteners and not the corners, reducing wear and the chance of slippage or rounding the fastener. Easy to read size markings are laser etched onto the steel making it simple to identify the socket without the worry that the markings will wear away or rub off with use. Rated to meet or exceed ANSI / ASME performance requirements for hand tools, these can handle tough use in any professional or home shop / garage.
