Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run it on a breaker bar?

Yes. With a 1/2" square drive it takes a ratchet, an extension or a breaker bar when a fastener needs more leverage.

Will it survive an impact gun?

It is not intended to. Hand sockets are made for steady turning force, so reach for an impact-rated version if you are working with an impact wrench.

What if I order the wrong size?

Sizes either side of M12 will feel close but sit loose in the head, and that is how fasteners get rounded. It is worth checking the head before you order.
