Socket size and drive
This TEKTON socket fits a 1/2 inch drive and a 36 mm fastener. The 12-point opening engages bolt heads from multiple angles. Mechanics and DIY owners use it for large suspension or axle nuts.
Deep 12-point reach
The deep well clears protruding studs so the socket seats fully on the nut. A 12-point pattern needs less swing room than a 6-point design. Shallow sockets cannot reach the same fasteners.
36 mm fit decision
Match the 36 mm size to the exact fastener you are turning. A smaller or larger socket will round the corners. This single dimension decides whether the tool works for the job.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 12-point 36 mm socket or a 6-point version for my 1/2 inch drive?
The 12-point design engages fastener flats at twice the angles of a 6-point socket, making it faster to seat on 36 mm nuts and bolts in tight spaces while still distributing load across the corners.
How deep is the 36 mm socket once it is on a 1/2 inch drive ratchet?
The deep-well body clears long studs and recessed fasteners so the 36 mm hex can be driven fully without bottoming out on the ratchet head.
What does the 1/2 inch drive standard cap in practice for this 36 mm socket?
A 1/2 inch square drive limits the socket to ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches with that same 1/2 inch male end, which is the common size for heavy automotive work.
