Gearwrench 80759 12-point Hand Socket 24 Mm 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80759 is a 24 mm, 12-point hand socket built for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Manufactured from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it is engineered to withstand the torque demands of professional trade work. The 12-point configuration provides six additional engagement positions over a standard 6-point socket, allowing faster repositioning in tight spaces. At 1.488 inches in overall length, it fits standard-depth fastener applications. This socket meets ANSI and ASME B107.5M standards, making it appropriate for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and general maintenance environments.

This socket is suited for automotive service, HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical maintenance where metric fasteners are standard. The 24 mm size is commonly found on suspension components, large fasteners in mechanical equipment, and utility connection hardware. It is tether capable, making it compatible with tool tethering systems used in elevated or overhead work environments where dropped-tool hazards are a concern.
