Socket specification

The Westward 53YU77 is a 1/2 inch drive metric socket sized at 26 mm with a 12 point configuration. It is built from alloy steel and finished with a full polish for corrosion resistance. The tool meets ASME B107.110-2012 standards and suits professional mechanics and serious DIY users who need a standard depth socket for high torque applications.

Capacity and headroom

The 12 point drive engages fastener flats at finer angles than a six point design, allowing use in tighter clearances. Standard depth provides the reach needed for common automotive and industrial bolts without the bulk of a deep socket. It is not intended for impact use or for fasteners requiring extended reach beyond the 1 1/2 inch overall length.

Thermals noise and power

As a hand tool the socket generates no heat, noise or electrical draw during operation. The alloy steel construction resists deformation under heavy manual torque. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains chemicals known to the state to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2" drive 26mm socket fit my existing 1/2" drive ratchet and extensions?

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

How can I confirm the socket is engaging the fastener correctly after I attach it?

The 12-point internal geometry seats on the fastener flats; you should feel a positive click and no rounding when torque is applied.

Does the 53YU77 come with a retaining ring or pin, or must I buy one separately?

The socket is sold as a single piece; a retaining ring or pin for the 1/2" drive square is not included and must be sourced separately.
