1/2" Drive Deep Socket Set
The Wheeler-Rex 961 set contains five deep SAE sockets for 1/2" drive tools. Sizes range from 15/16" to 1 1/4" to reach recessed fasteners. Alloy steel construction and a zinc-plated finish resist wear during impact use. Six-point profiles grip bolt heads securely.
Automotive and heavy-equipment repair
Mechanics working on large bolts in deep recesses will find the five-inch bolt clearance useful. The set lacks smaller sizes, so technicians needing fasteners below 15/16" must look elsewhere. Non-magnetic, non-sparking sockets suit environments where those properties matter. Tether-capable holes add drop protection for elevated work.
Five-inch bolt clearance
Deep sockets with a five-inch clearance let you engage nuts on long studs or inside deep cavities. Standard-depth sockets cannot reach these fasteners. Verify that your 1/2" drive ratchet or impact gun matches the drive size before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the 1/2" drive deep sockets to my ratchet without rounding the 15/16" or 1 1/4" fasteners?
Seat the six-point socket fully on the fastener before applying force; the zinc-plated alloy steel walls grip the flats, not the corners, so keep the drive square to avoid cam-out.
When will the zinc plating on these 961 sockets wear through and need replacement?
The plating protects the alloy steel from corrosion; replace a socket once the zinc is gone and bare steel shows rust or the six-point profile rounds enough to slip on a 1 1/8" nut.
What stops me from using these deep sockets continuously on high-torque impact jobs?
They are built for impact use but are non-magnetic and non-sparking; the tether hole is the limiting feature — if the retention wire fatigues under sustained vibration, the socket can detach.
