Designed for fast and easy access, the 12-point opening of the TEKTON 1/2 in. Drive x 1-1/16 in. Shallow Socket slides onto hex-shaped fastener heads at twice as many angle positions as 6-point sockets. It also offers a precise fit on 12-point fasteners. To reduce the chances of round off, it's made to shift contact away from the corners of fastener head onto the flat sides. With a shallow well and slim walls, this socket has the clearance to fit into tight, narrow spaces. Detent notches inside the drive end securely lock socket onto ratchets and extensions, so it won't fall off or stick on fasteners. Made from premium chrome vanadium steel, it's protected from rust and corrosion by a durable mirror chrome plated finish.
