Socket with double hexagon, 7/8" across flats, 1/2 inch square drive - Knipex 98 47 7/8"

Machinery built to imperial standards needs the exact inch size, not the closest metric socket. This Knipex socket covers 7/8" across flats and passes the torque to the head through twelve flanks. It is driven through a 1/2 inch inner square.

Benefits

• 7/8" across flats for fasteners in inch dimensions, no conversion and no slack on the flanks
• Double hexagon with twelve engagement points, so the tool finds a new bite every 30 degrees and still works in tight swing angles
• Chrome plated body, the smooth surface resists corrosion and wipes clean once the job is done
• 1/2 inch square drive as the widely used drive size, the socket fits existing ratchet sets and torque wrenches
• The load is spread over twelve flanks, which protects the corners of the head and keeps it serviceable next time

Applications

Wanted wherever machines, plant and vehicles are assembled with imperial fasteners, for example on imported equipment, in plant engineering, in agricultural and construction machinery and in maintenance work. The socket adds the 7/8" inch size to a metric set, the size that is usually missing from the tool trolley.
