Stanley 85-425 17 Pc Socket Set 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The STANLEY 85-425 is a 17-piece standard socket set built around a 1/2 inch drive and covering a socket range of 3/8 inch through 1-1/4 inch. All 14 sockets feature a 12-point design, which provides multiple engagement positions on fastener heads and reduces slip during high-torque applications. The set is finished in chrome for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. It includes a ratchet, extension, and flex handle, making it a self-contained setup for a wide range of fastening tasks. The total set weight is 9 pounds. This set is suited for mechanics, HVAC technicians, and plumbers working on equipment assemblies, flanges, and mechanical connections that require standard SAE sizing.

This socket set is designed for use in residential and commercial service environments where 1/2 inch drive tooling is required. It covers common SAE fastener sizes found on HVAC equipment mounting hardware, plumbing fixture connections, electrical panel supports, and general mechanical assemblies. The flex handle extends reach in tight or awkward installation spaces. The set is well-suited for service vans and shop benches alike, giving technicians a compact but complete drive setup without needing supplementary sockets for standard inch-measurement work.

Installation Notes

This set is intended for use by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians performing mechanical fastener work. Always confirm fastener size before applying torque to avoid rounding hardware. Disconnect power and shut off relevant utilities before servicing equipment panels or mechanical assemblies. Store sockets in their designated tray positions to prevent loss and maintain set integrity.
