1/2-Inch Drive Deep Socket

This 1/2-inch drive deep socket fits SAE fasteners measuring 1-1/16 inches. It is made from high-strength nickel aluminum bronze with a natural finish. The non-sparking, non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant material makes it suitable for hazardous environments. It meets FM approval standards for safety.

Six-Point Female Square Drive

The six-point female square drive engages the fastener across flat surfaces rather than corners. This design reduces the risk of rounding off bolt heads during high-torque applications. The deep well allows access to recessed nuts on long studs. The socket is not tether capable for drop-prevention systems.

Non-Sparking Bronze Construction

The nickel aluminum bronze alloy prevents spark generation during impact or friction. This property is essential for work in flammable or explosive atmospheres. The material also resists corrosion and eliminates magnetic interference. These characteristics support safer operation in specialised industrial settings.

Questions about this item

What is the first limit you hit when using this socket continuously under load?

The non-sparking, non-magnetic bronze material resists deformation and corrosion, so the first practical limit is the torque capacity of the 1/2 inch drive square rather than the socket itself.

How much noise, heat or power draw does the socket produce during all-day use?

As a passive hand tool it generates no noise, no heat beyond ambient and draws zero power; the natural bronze finish stays cool and quiet in continuous service.

What drive tool must I already own for this 1-1/16 inch deep socket to work?

You need a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench with a female square drive to engage the socket's 6-point opening.
