SATA GL13415 1/2" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 27mm

The 6-point design grips the flats of a fastener for a secure hold, reducing the tendency for rounding compared with other configurations. It distributes torque more evenly, which helps protect both the fastener and the socket during high-torque applications.

The deep socket design extends further than standard sockets, allowing access to fasteners that sit deeper or behind components. This saves time and enables you to reach recessed bolts without removing surrounding parts.

The opening is 27 mm to fit 27 mm fasteners, and the socket is built for use with a standard 1/2" drive ratchet, extensions, or breaker bars.

It is constructed from chrome vanadium steel for strength and durability, with a chrome-plated finish to resist rust and corrosion. Laser-etched size markings provide quick identification.

Yes. It is engineered to withstand high torque and impact loads, making it appropriate for automotive and industrial tasks when used with compatible impact-rated 1/2" drive tools.

Common applications include automotive maintenance (engine components, exhaust systems, suspension fasteners) and general mechanical repairs where deep access to 27 mm fasteners is required.

Attach the socket to a 1/2" drive ratchet or extension, align it with the fastener, and apply steady torque. For tight or recessed fasteners, use a longer extension or a breaker bar to achieve the desired torque, ensuring the fastener remains perpendicular to the drive.

Keep it clean and dry after use to prevent corrosion. Store it in a toolbox or organizer to avoid impact damage, and periodically inspect for wear, chipping, or rounding. Replace if the socket shows signs of structural damage.

Wear eye protection and gloves as needed. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped, use the correct size fastener, and avoid using the socket on fasteners or in applications beyond its design tolerance to prevent tool damage and personal injury.

This socket offers a deep profile and 6-point grip with off-corner loading, which helps prevent fastener rounding and provides extended reach. When comparing to standard length or different point count sockets, the deep reach and secure grip make it a strong choice for recessed fasteners in automotive and industrial work.

If your project involves accessing recessed 27 mm fasteners with a 1/2" drive, this socket supplies the combination of reach, grip, and durability needed for reliable, repeatable results. Consider your access constraints, required torque, and whether you need deep reach to select this option.
