Why Choose This Product?

The saving on a budget tool disappears the moment it slips on a tight bolt. The 1/2" RIBE Socket M8 55mm seats square on the nut and stays there under load, and it keeps doing it long after the novelty wears off. That is the difference a properly made tool makes.

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.

How do I know M8 is the size I need?

M8 refers to the RIBE profile size. Check the fastener head against the size you need before ordering, as neighbouring sizes look similar but will not seat properly.
