Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it features a 12-point hex drive pattern that engages fastener flats at multiple positions for faster socket placement in tight quarters. At 1.575 inches overall length, it fits standard-depth metric fastener applications without adding unnecessary bulk. The tether-capable design accepts compatible tethering hardware, making it suitable for elevated work environments where dropped tools are a safety concern. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics will find this a reliable addition to a metric hand socket set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is intended for general mechanical and industrial fastener work where a 26mm metric fastener and a 1\/2 inch drive tool are required. Typical applications include automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance where standard-depth metric sockets are the correct choice. The 12-point geometry works with both standard six-sided hex fasteners and double-hex configurations, giving versatility across common metric bolt and nut patterns. Its tether-capable construction also suits use on elevated platforms, scaffolding, or any jobsite governed by dropped-object prevention requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e26mm socket size for standard metric fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive hex interface compatible with common ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point design allows socket engagement at 30-degree increments for confined-space access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction provides strength for high-torque hand drive use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish resists surface corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTether-capable design supports dropped-object prevention hardware on elevated jobsites\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ASME B107.5M standards for hand socket performance and dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style standard hand socket for use with 1\/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches requiring a 26mm metric socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove by hand using a 1\/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench rated for the fastener specification. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. When used in tether-capable applications, attach approved tethering hardware per jobsite dropped-object prevention requirements before working at height. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.575 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement System\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ASME B107.5M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEARWRENCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80681\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEARWRENCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539426804018,"sku":"80681","price":22.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/84a2658f82cf3cd7a0cb13b869f17bce.jpg?v=1785840091","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gearwrench-80681-26mm-1-2-drive-12-point-hand-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
