Sealey 1/2" Drive Deep Hexagon WallDrive Socket Metric

The Sealey 18mm 1/2" Drive Deep Hexagon WallDrive Socket addresses the needs of professionals working with larger metric fasteners. The 18mm size is commonly encountered in heavy-duty suspension components, commercial vehicle applications, and industrial machinery, making this socket essential for workshops handling diverse mechanical tasks. Crafted from cold-forged Chrome Vanadium steel and hardened and tempered for added strength, this socket is engineered to withstand the demanding torque requirements of larger fasteners. The WallDrive® socket configuration provides a significant advantage when working with 18mm bolts, gripping the flat sides of fasteners to deliver up to 30% more torque whilst dramatically reducing the likelihood of rounding, particularly valuable on weathered or seized fixings. The fully polished chrome finish provides excellent protection against corrosion and workshop chemicals whilst allowing for effortless cleaning. The knurled ring around the socket body ensures you maintain control even when working in oily or greasy conditions, common in heavy mechanical work. The deep hexagon profile is specifically designed for accessing recessed fasteners and working with extended bolt lengths.
