Key benefits at a glance
-
Metric 20 mm size tailored for fasteners in metric machinery, automotive components, and equipment assemblies.
-
1/2" drive compatibility with a wide range of standard ratchets and wrenches, delivering reliable torque transfer.
-
6-point design provides increased contact with fastener flats, reducing rounding and slipping under high-torque conditions.
-
Chrome finish offers corrosion resistance and easier cleanup, keeping your tool bit looking professional longer.
-
Compact 0.75" length enables access to tight spaces where deeper sockets can’t reach, making it ideal for confined engine bays and equipment panels.
-

Who it’s for—professional technicians, DIY enthusiasts, and mechanics who demand a dependable metric socket that blends precise fit with durable construction. It’s especially useful for servicing metric fasteners on engines, bikes, machinery, and home workshop projects where reliability matters over repeated use.
Practical tips—pair this socket with a quality 1/2" drive ratchet and a light application of automotive-grade lubricant to maximize longevity. Use it for standard tightening and loosening tasks where a hex-based fastener sits securely in a 20 mm profile, and avoid applying high-impact impacts that this socket isn’t designed to endure.
