Socket set KS Tools 911.1337 1/2 inch Metric 2.6 cm diameter

The KS Tools 911.1337 1/2 inch Metric 2.6 cm diameter socket is a long hexagon bit socket designed for use with 1/2" drive tools. It combines a 2.6 cm outer diameter with a 110 mm overall length, offering extended reach for recessed fasteners. Manufactured in Germany, the socket is intended for precision engagement with hexagon-headed bolts and nuts in mechanical, automotive and maintenance applications.

Advantages

This long hexagon bit socket provides improved access to hard-to-reach fasteners thanks to its 110 mm length while retaining a compact 2.6 cm diameter for clearance in confined spaces. The 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and torque tools. Its metric sizing supports accurate fitment to metric hex fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage during torque application.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks
• Industrial maintenance where extended reach is required
• General workshop and home repair jobs involving metric hex fasteners

How to use

Select a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench and attach the socket to the drive square. Position the hexagon bit onto the fastener head, align to ensure full seat, and apply steady torque. For recessed or obstructed fasteners use the extended length to reach into tight cavities while maintaining tool stability. Inspect the socket and fastener seating before applying high torque to avoid slippage.

Recommendations

Use with a properly sized 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench and apply torque within the tool and fastener ratings. Keep the socket clean and free of debris to ensure secure engagement. For high-torque applications, verify the condition of the fastener and consider using controlled torque settings to prevent damage to threads and heads.
