K-Tool International KTI-38515 1/2" Drive Impact Socket 15mm Swivel 6 Point tool storage

1/2" Drive 15mm Swivel Socket

The K-Tool International KTI-38515 is a 1/2" drive impact socket sized at 15mm with a swivel 6-point design. It is built for technicians who need reliable access to fasteners in tight engine bays or suspension work. The swivel joint allows the socket to pivot, reducing the need for multiple extensions or universal joints. This tool suits professional mechanics and serious DIYers doing heavy-duty automotive repair.

Swivel Action Under Load

The swivel mechanism maintains engagement while the socket pivots, letting the drive angle shift without losing contact on the fastener. Under sustained impact loading the 6-point profile distributes torque across the flat sides of the nut or bolt, reducing rounding risk. The black oxide finish resists corrosion from shop fluids and road salt. It is not suited for applications where a fixed socket provides more direct torque transfer or where clearance forbids the extra length of the swivel head.

1/2" Drive Compatibility

This socket fits any standard 1/2" square drive impact gun or breaker bar, using the industry-standard retention ball groove. The 15mm hex opening matches common metric fasteners on many European and Asian vehicles. It does not fit 3/8" or 3/4" drive tools without an adapter, which adds length and potential failure points. Buyers needing other metric sizes or a fixed 6-point socket should look elsewhere in the range.
