With a 1/2-inch drive, the Tolsen 16558 8mm Deep Socket Wrench reaches recessed bolts in tight engine bays. Heat-treated 50BV30 steel withstands high torque during manual operation. Under heavy pressure, the 6-point profile prevents fastener rounding on worn hardware.
Key Features
- 50BV30 Steel: Heat-treated chrome vanadium alloy construction. Resists deformation during high-torque industrial mechanical tasks.
- 6-Point Grip: Internal hex-shaped socket profile. Distributes pressure to flat sides of bolts to prevent stripping.
- Chrome Plating: Polished chrome-plated exterior finish. Resists corrosion from humidity and road dust during outdoor repairs.
- Deep Profile: Extended socket body for protruding studs. Reaches nuts on long bolts where standard sockets fail.
- Ball Groove: Integrated internal groove for ratchet retention. Keeps the socket attached to the drive during vertical use.
- DIN Standards: Manufactured to DIN3124 and ISO2725-1 specifications. Maintains precise dimensional tolerance for a tight fit on fasteners.
