The Tolsen 16562 is a 12mm deep socket designed for hand-operated fastening tasks where extra reach is required. It is crafted from heat-treated 50BV30 chrome-vanadium steel and finished with a polished chrome plating, which helps protect the tool from corrosion during regular use. This socket features a 1/2" square drive and an improved head profile specifically engineered to grip deformed fasteners more effectively. To ensure a secure fit with your ratchet or breaker bar, it includes a ball retaining groove and adheres to DIN3124, ISO2725-1, DIN3120, and ISO1174 standards. It comes supplied on a plastic hanger for easy storage in your workshop.
