1/2" Drive M16 Impact Socket
The Grey Pneumatic 2116S is a 1/2 inch drive metric impact socket sized for M16 fasteners. Its 12-point configuration allows engagement at multiple angles, useful in tight clearance. The socket is built for pneumatic and electric impact tools. It suits professional technicians and serious DIYers working on suspension, wheel hubs or heavy equipment.
12-Point Geometry Under Load
The twelve-point broaching distributes torque across more contact faces than a six-point design, reducing the chance of rounding off stubborn or corroded M16 nuts. The black oxide finish resists corrosion and helps identify the socket in a busy tray. Impact-rated steel withstands repeated hammer blows without cracking. It maintains fit through extended service intervals.
Replaces Worn or Shallow Sockets
This socket upgrades from worn 12-point or six-point equivalents that slip on damaged flats. It also replaces shallow sockets when extra reach is needed for recessed bolts. The jump is worth it when the previous socket rounds fasteners or cannot clear the thread length. Buyers who need a different drive size or a non-metric hex should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Does the 12-point design generate more heat during extended use?
The socket is a passive hand tool with no moving parts, so it produces no heat during operation.
What drive-size ratchet or breaker bar do I already need to turn this 1/2" drive socket?
A standard 1/2-inch square-drive ratchet, breaker bar or impact wrench is required to engage the socket.
Will the 12-point profile grip the rounded corners on older M16 fasteners?
Yes, the 12-point geometry contacts the fastener on the flats, reducing the chance of rounding off worn M16 heads.
