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

The Wera 8790 HMC Deep 1/2" Drive Hexagon Socket in 18mm is an excellent choice for larger metric fasteners encountered in heavy automotive work, plant maintenance, and structural engineering. The long deep design makes it particularly effective when access is limited by surrounding components or protruding threaded rods. Meeting ISO 2725 part 3, this socket is produced from matt chromed chrome-vanadium steel — a material combining toughness with corrosion resistance for long service life. The hexagonal profile makes full contact across all six flats of the fastener head, enabling reliable high-torque application without damaging the bolt or nut. A ball intercept ring keeps the socket securely on the drive for both hand and machine (non-impact) use. The knurled lower end and Take it easy colour-coding ensure easy handling and identification.
