Spero Deep Socket, 1/2in Drive, 6-Point, Imperial Sizes

Spero deep sockets, 1/2in square drive, six-point, in imperial sizes. Chrome vanadium steel, heat treated, to DIN 3124. Sold per unit so you can buy only the sizes you use.

Why deep rather than standard

A deep socket reaches past a protruding stud or a long thread to seat on the nut behind it. Standard sockets simply bottom out on the stud and will not engage. Anywhere there is exposed thread — U-bolts, exhaust studs, machine mounts, threaded rod — the deep socket is the one that works.

Six-point versus twelve-point

Six-point sockets grip the flats of the nut rather than the corners. On a tight, rusted or already slightly rounded fastener that difference decides whether the nut turns or the corners shear off. Twelve-point is quicker to locate in a confined swing, but six-point is the safer choice under load.
