The Armstrong 12-316 1/2-inch Drive 12 Point Deep 1/2-inch Socket is a high-quality tool that is made in the USA. It features a radius corner design that engages the flats of the fastener, not the corners, providing up to 15%-20% more torque while reducing fastener rounding. The socket also has EYE-D™ markings that optimize size visibility, as well as providing SAE/metric differentiation. Additionally, the socket has a unique socket retention method, cold form ball recess, that provides consistent secure retention of the socket to the drive tool, eliminating the possibility of either a loose fit or tight fit. Finally, the socket wall dimensions are optimized to provide strength while retaining access to restricted fasteners.
