Socket set KS Tools 117.1384 1/2 inch drive metric 2.6 cm diameter 255 mm length

1/2" socket with protective insulation, XL, 255 mm length and 2.6 cm diameter, designed for metric fasteners. Manufactured in Germany by KS Tools (model 117.1384, EAN 4042146326329), this insulated socket combines an extended reach with a standard 1/2" drive to access recessed nuts and bolts while providing basic protection against accidental contact.

Advantages

The XL length (255 mm) allows access to deep-seated fasteners; the 2.6 cm diameter fits metric heads specified for this socket size. Protective insulation reduces risk of short circuits during work near energized components. German manufacture ensures consistent build quality and durable materials suitable for repeated workshop and field use.

Suitable for

• Reaching recessed or hard-to-access metric nuts and bolts
• Automotive maintenance and repair
• Electrical and hybrid vehicle service where insulated tools are required
• Industrial machinery maintenance

How to use

Select the correct socket size for the fastener, mount it on a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or extension, and engage the fastener squarely. Use steady torque and avoid sudden impacts to protect the insulation and socket geometry. When working near live electrical parts, ensure the insulation is intact and rated for the task; follow site-specific safety procedures and disconnect power where possible.

Recommendations

Inspect the insulation for cuts or damage before each use. Do not use the socket if the protective coating is compromised. Store in a dry place and avoid exposure to chemicals that can degrade insulation.
