SATA GL13616 1/2" Drive 12 Point Socket 27mm

A 12-point design lets you engage the fastener from more angles and helps align the socket with the bolt head more easily. This reduces rounding, improves grip, and makes it quicker to start threads in tight or awkward spaces.

This socket is 27mm in size and designed for 1/2" drive tools. It works with standard 1/2" drive ratchets and wrenches, making it compatible with most mid- to heavy-duty tool setups.

It’s made from chrome vanadium steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant chrome plating. This combination enhances durability, resists rust in harsh environments, and extends the tool’s service life.

Off-corner loading distributes torque more evenly across the fastener corners, reducing the chance of rounding bolt heads and improving tool longevity during heavy-use applications.

The socket features large size markings for easy identification, plus dual indicators (SAE and metric) with knurled lines to help you quickly distinguish standard and metric sizes at a glance.

It’s well-suited for automotive work (engine mounts, suspension components, wheel hardware) and industrial maintenance tasks that involve large fasteners, where a robust, high-torque 27mm socket is beneficial.

Attach the socket to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or wrench, ensure the fastener head seats fully, and apply steady, even torque. The 12-point design helps with engagement in confined spaces, and you can use extensions or breaker bars as needed for leverage—avoid acute angle misalignment to prevent slippage.

Wipe it clean after use to remove oil and debris, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry toolbox. Avoid corrosive cleansers and harsh impacts; synthetic lubricants aren’t typically required for sockets, but keep it away from moisture to preserve the chrome finish.
