Elora 1/2" Drive Bi Hexagon Socket Whitworth

This 5/16" Whitworth bi-hexagon socket handles medium-duty fasteners commonly found throughout classic British engineering applications. The 5/16" size is particularly prevalent on vintage vehicle chassis components, gearbox assemblies, and traditional industrial equipment, making it an indispensable tool for serious restoration workshops and maintenance professionals. Crafted from high-quality chrome vanadium steel with professional heat treatment, this socket offers the strength and durability required for regular workshop use on substantial fasteners. The hardening and tempering processes ensure resistance to deformation under high torque loads, whilst the chrome plated finish provides lasting protection against workshop environments. The bi-hexagon internal profile creates twelve engagement points, distributing driving forces effectively and minimising wear on both socket and fastener. The precision-chamfered entry guides the socket smoothly onto nuts and bolts, reducing alignment time and improving productivity. The integrated spring-loaded ball retention system maintains secure attachment to drive accessories, essential for confident operation in challenging working positions.
