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

The Wera 8790 HMA Deep 1/4" Drive Hexagon Socket in 12mm is a highly practical size for automotive work, plumbing, and structural assembly, frequently encountered in metric bolt specifications across many industries. The 50mm deep profile delivers excellent reach into recessed or confined locations, and the socket can accommodate protruding threaded rods that obstruct standard-depth alternatives. The hexagonal drive profile ensures high-torque engagement with minimal stress on fastener edges — a significant advantage when dealing with bolts that are subject to regular tightening cycles. A ball intercept ring keeps the socket firmly in place during both manual and machine operation (non-impact). Wera's Take it easy colour-coding helps you find the 12mm socket quickly, while knurling on the lower end provides a reliable grip even when hands are greasy.
