Westward 1/4" Drive SAE Socket
This Westward socket fits a 1/4 inch drive and accepts 1/2 inch SAE fasteners. It is built from alloy steel for durability in automotive and general mechanical work. The six-point design grips flat sides of the fastener to reduce rounding. It suits technicians and DIY users who need a single deep socket in this size.
Installation and common issues
The socket slides onto any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension without tools. Ensure the drive square is fully seated before applying torque to avoid slipping. The most frequent problem is using the wrong drive size or metric socket on an SAE bolt, which damages both the tool and the fastener. Clean threads and proper alignment prevent most fitting errors.
Deciding specification
The critical specification is the 1/2 inch SAE opening combined with a 1/4 inch drive. If your fastener is metric, a different size, or requires a 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch drive, this socket will not work. Buyers who need a metric socket, a different SAE size, or a larger drive must select another part. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 1/4" drive socket engages properly after setup?
The 6-point alloy steel socket should seat fully on a 1/2" SAE fastener without rounding the corners when torque is applied.
What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?
The box contains the single 1/4" drive SAE socket; a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet or extension is sold separately.
Which version should I choose between SAE and metric options?
Select the SAE version marked 1/2" when working with inch-size fasteners; choose the metric version for millimetre sizes.
