9/16" Insulated Socket
This Wiha Tools socket features a 9/16 inch SAE size with a 12-point internal drive and a 1/2 inch square drive. It is designed for professional hand tool applications requiring insulated protection. The chrome vanadium construction provides durability with a chrome finish.
Verify Drive and Clearance
Confirm your ratchet or breaker bar accepts a 1/2 inch square drive before ordering. Ensure the 12-point socket profile matches the fastener head you intend to turn. Check that the insulated outer diameter clears any recessed fasteners or tight spaces in your specific application.
Integrates with 1/2" Drive Sets
This socket joins a standard 1/2 inch drive socket set for automotive or industrial maintenance tasks. The insulated design allows work near live electrical components up to the rated voltage. It frees up the need for separate insulated adapters when paired with an insulated ratchet.
