Socket double hexagon 5/8" with 3/8" inner square drive for imperial bolt heads - Knipex 98 37 5/8"

Imperial bolts in the 5/8" size turn up regularly on imported machinery and in plant engineering, while the metric socket set has no answer for them. This Knipex socket brings the right width and grips through a double hexagon that seats in twelve positions.

Benefits

• Width across flats of 5/8" in imperial measure, so the socket seats without play instead of forcing a near enough metric size onto the head
• Double hexagon with twelve engagement points, which halves the swing angle needed compared with a plain hexagon
• Twelve seating positions per turn, so the ratchet can be picked up again inside a control cabinet or between pipes
• Inner square drive of 3/8", matching ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches with that connection
• Chrome plated base tool that keeps corrosion away and wipes clean after oil and dust
• Part of the Knipex 98 37 series, designed for work to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900

Applications

Plant and machine building, maintenance on drives, flanges and frame joints in imperial sizes, plus service work on equipment manufactured to American standards.

Standards and conformity

Knipex builds the 98 37 series to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900, the standards for hand tools used in live working. That information comes from the metric base variant of the same series, because Knipex publishes no data sheet figures for this imperial size. Weight, dimensions and EAN are therefore not stated here and are deliberately not carried over from the metric version.
