Tekton SHD23124 Deep Hand Socket 24mm 1/2 Drive 6pt

Product Description

The TEKTON SHD23124 is a 24mm deep hand socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. Built from steel with a chrome finish, this 6-point socket provides full contact on hex fastener flats to reduce rounding on stubborn or corroded hardware. At 3.1 inches in overall length, the deep profile reaches down onto long bolt threads, studs, and recessed nuts that standard-depth sockets cannot access. It suits HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades working on equipment panels, machinery, and piping assemblies.

This socket is suited for professional and heavy-duty DIY applications where a deep reach is required. Common uses include engine and equipment service, conduit and pipe fitting hardware, structural fasteners, and panel work. The 1/2 inch drive connection pairs with standard 1/2 inch drive torque wrenches, impact-rated extensions, and ratchets found in most service trucks and shop tool sets. The 6-point design is preferred over 12-point when working with worn or tight fasteners.

Installation Notes

Always disengage or de-energize the equipment being serviced before applying torque to fasteners near electrical or mechanical components. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to avoid slippage and injury. Use a calibrated torque wrench when a specific fastener torque specification is required by the equipment manufacturer. Deep sockets should not be used with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use.
