1/2 in Drive 24 mm Socket

This 1/2 in drive socket fits 24 mm hex fasteners with a six-point profile. It is made from alloy steel with a chrome finish and meets the ASME B107.110-2012 standard. The tool is designed for hand use and is not impact rated. It suits mechanics and DIYers who need a standard metric socket for general fastening tasks.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

As a passive hand tool this socket generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no power during use. Performance depends entirely on the operator and the ratchet or breaker bar employed. There are no thermal limits or electrical requirements to consider.

California Proposition 65 Notice

The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for a chemical known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. This notice informs the buyer of the regulatory requirement but does not change the socket’s mechanical function. No additional accessories or software are bundled with the item.

Questions about this item

How do I fit the 1/2 in drive 24 mm 6-point socket onto my ratchet without rounding the fastener?

Align the 6-point opening squarely on the hex head, push the 1/2 in drive square onto the ratchet anvil until the detent ball clicks, then apply steady torque without canting the tool.

What wear or replacement should I expect on this alloy-steel chrome socket over time?

The chrome finish will gradually wear at the drive square and hex walls; replace the socket once the 6-point profile shows rounding or the detent groove no longer holds the ratchet securely.

At what point does the ASME B107.110-2012 rating limit sustained use on high-torque jobs?

The standard defines hand-tool proof loads; the limit appears first as permanent distortion of the 24 mm hex or drive square when torque exceeds the rated proof value for this size.
