  • Product typeSocket
  • 12-point grip reduces rounding on 23 mm fasteners

1/2" Drive 23mm Socket

This Westward 53YU74 socket fits a 1/2 inch drive and engages 23mm metric fasteners with a 12-point triple square profile. The alloy steel construction meets ASME B107.110-2012 standards for professional use. It is a standard depth tool supplied new with a full polished finish.

Capacity and headroom

The 12-point geometry allows engagement at finer angles compared to six-point designs, useful in restricted access areas. It handles typical torque loads for 23mm hardware but will round triple square heads if excessive force is applied beyond the fastener specification. Not suited for impact drivers or oversized bars.

Thermals noise and power

Hand tools produce no operational noise, heat or power draw during normal use. The polished alloy steel surface resists corrosion and wipes clean without special maintenance. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the material or finish.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2" drive 23mm socket fit my existing 1/2" ratchet and breaker bar?

Yes, the female square drive is sized to the 1/2" standard and engages any matching ratchet or breaker bar without an adapter.

How can I verify the 12-point triple-square output engages fasteners correctly after setup?

Seat the socket on a 23mm triple-square fastener; the 12-point geometry should align cleanly and transmit torque without rounding the corners.

Does the box include only the 23mm socket or are accessories such as a tether lanyard supplied?

The package contains the single 23mm socket; a tether accessory is not included and must be purchased separately if required.
