30 mm 12-Point Socket for 1/2 in Drive
The Westward 53YU81 is a metric socket sized at 30 mm with a 12-point internal profile. It fits a standard 1/2 in square drive and is finished in chrome over alloy steel. The tool meets ASME B 107.110 -2012 dimensional standards and is rated for hand use only.
Hand-Use Limitation of the 1/2 in Drive
This socket carries no impact rating, so it must not be used with powered impact wrenches or drivers. Applying sudden high torque from an impact tool can fracture the chrome finish or deform the 12-point geometry. The ASME standard referenced covers hand-tool dimensions and does not certify the piece for power-driven applications.
Verify Drive Size and Fastener Profile Before
Confirm that your ratchet or breaker bar provides a 1/2 in square drive; other drive sizes will not engage. Ensure the fastener you are servicing requires a 30 mm 12-point socket rather than a 6-point or spline profile. The product contains a chemical listed under California Proposition 65, so consider that notice if your workplace tracks material compliance.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 30 mm 12-point socket or a different size?
Choose the 30 mm 12-point version when your fastener measures 30 mm; the 12-point opening gives more engagement angles than a 6-point design.
How does the 12-point drive perform on a real bolt?
The 12-point geometry contacts the flats of a 30 mm metric bolt, reducing rounding risk while allowing a 30-degree swing in tight spaces.
What does the 1/2 in drive standard limit in practice?
The 1/2 in square drive fits standard 1/2 in ratchets and torque wrenches, capping maximum torque to what that drive size can reliably transmit.
