INGCO HHAST12271 1/2″ HEXAGONAL SOCKET 27mm( HHAST12271)

product details:

The HHAST12271 1/2″ Hexagonal Socket 27mm is likely a standard socket designed for use with power tools. Here’s a breakdown of its features and potential uses:

Features:

• Drive Size: 1/2-inch – This refers to the square-shaped hole at the top of the socket that fits onto a matching drive tang on a ratchet or impact wrench. A 1/2-inch drive is the most common size for general-purpose use with power tools.
• Standard Socket: Unlike the previously discussed HHAST12273L, this is a standard socket with a shallower depth. This design is suitable for nuts that are flush or slightly recessed, but may not reach nuts on long bolts or deep within an assembly.
• Hexagonal (6-Point) Socket: This is the most common socket design, featuring six flat sides that fit onto the hex-shaped head of a nut or bolt.
• Size: 27mm – This indicates the diameter of the nut or bolt head that the socket can fit.
• Material : Chrome Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel is a common high-strength steel likely used for this socket. Cr-Mo provides durability and resistance to bending or cracking under high torque loads applied by power tools.
• Black Oxide Finish: A black oxide finish is often applied to sockets to improve corrosion resistance and provide a better grip during use.

Benefits:

• Universal Hexagonal Design: The 6-point design ensures compatibility with most standard hex-shaped nuts and bolts.
• Strong and Durable : The Cr-Mo steel construction (if applicable) makes this socket suitable for general power tool use.
• Compact Design: The standard depth makes it easier to use in tight spaces where a deep socket might not fit.
• Corrosion Resistance: The black oxide finish (if present) helps protect the socket from rust and corrosion.

Typical Uses:

• Automotive Repair: Removing and tightening lug nuts (depending on depth requirement), nuts on easily accessible components, and other applications where a standard socket provides sufficient reach.
• Machinery Repair and Maintenance: Loosening or tightening nuts on bolts in various machinery and equipment, especially when the nuts are flush or slightly recessed.
