Wera 8790 HMC Deep 1/2" Drive Hexagon Socket Metric

The Wera 8790 HMC Deep 1/2" Drive Hexagon Socket in 24mm is the largest in this range, designed for high-torque applications on substantial metric fasteners found in heavy plant, commercial vehicles, structural steelwork, and large-scale engineering. The deep design is essential at this size for accessing bolts set into recessed housings or fitted with extended threaded rods. Conforming to ISO 2725 part 3, the socket is produced from matt chromed chrome-vanadium steel — delivering the strength and toughness required for demanding professional environments. Its hexagonal profile makes full six-flat contact with the fastener head, ensuring efficient torque transmission under high loads whilst protecting the bolt profile. The ball intercept ring provides a reliable, secure connection to the 1/2" drive in both hand and machine (non-impact) use. Knurling on the lower body and Wera's Take it easy colour-coding make this large socket easy to handle and identify.
