Wera 8790 HMA Deep 1/4" Drive Hexagon Socket Metric

The Wera 8790 HMA Deep 1/4" Drive Hexagon Socket in 15mm is the largest in this range, designed for heavier metric fastening tasks encountered in automotive suspension work, structural steelwork, and larger industrial machinery. The 50mm deep profile provides the reach required for low-lying or deeply recessed bolt heads, and handles situations where protruding threaded rods obstruct standard-depth sockets. At this size, the benefits of the hexagonal profile are especially pronounced — delivering high torque with minimal stress on fastener edges, making it significantly more effective than a double hexagon design when dealing with larger, load-bearing fixings. The ball intercept ring keeps the socket securely in place during both manual and machine operation (non-impact). Wera's Take it easy colour-coding ensures quick identification in a full set, and knurling on the lower end provides excellent manual grip even with oily hands.
