Socket double hexagon 9/16" with 3/8" inner square drive for imperial bolt heads - Knipex 98 37 9/16"

The 9/16" size is one of those widths that the metric set simply does not have, which slows every job on imperial equipment. This Knipex socket closes that gap and grips the bolt head at twelve points instead of six.

Benefits

• Width across flats of 9/16" 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

Maintenance on machinery, conveying and drive technology with imperial bolt heads, assembly on switchgear and frames, and service work on equipment from the English speaking market.

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.
