Here's a detailed review based on my use: **Build Quality and Material:** The Draper 12740 socket is crafted from high-grade chrome vanadium steel, which ensures strength and longevity. The material is particularly resistant to wear and corrosion, a crucial factor considering the tough environments impact sockets are often used in. It’s evident that this socket is built to withstand rigorous use typically seen in automotive and mechanical applications. **Design and Functionality:** This socket features a deep-well design, making it ideal for reaching nuts on longer bolts or threaded rods, something shallow sockets can't manage. The 1/2-inch drive size is versatile, fitting most ratchets and impact wrenches in my tool collection. This makes it a great addition to both a professional's toolbox and a home mechanic’s set. **Impact Resistance:** As an impact socket, it is specifically designed to be used with impact wrenches. It can handle high torque without cracking or distorting, which is a testament to its robust construction. I've used it to loosen some very tight bolts on car suspension parts, and it performed flawlessly without any signs of slipping or rounding off the bolt heads. **Size Accuracy and Fit:** The 13mm size is precise, ensuring a snug fit on fasteners, which greatly reduces the chance of stripping them. This accuracy is crucial when dealing with fasteners that have been overtightened or are starting to corrode and become brittle. **Value for Money:** Considering its durability and the quality of materials used, this socket provides excellent value for money. It’s a tool that feels like it will last a lifetime, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone who does a lot of work with nuts and bolts. In conclusion, the Draper 12740 1/2-inch Drive 13mm Deep Impact Socket is a high-quality tool that I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a reliable and durable socket. It's proven to be an indispensable part of my toolkit, handling tough jobs with ease and reliability. Review: Nicely made as per the image - Nicely made. Purchased to access the nuts on heavy duty adjustable gate hinges. I needed to also buy an 3/8 adapter for my particular ratchet as this is 1/2 inch. ## Features - Expert Quality - Overall length 78mm - Chrome vanadium steel hardened tempered and chemically blacked ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001K9OY2 | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,579 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1 in Square Drive Sockets | | Bit Compatibilities | impact driver, nut driver | | Brand | Draper | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,909) | | Drive Bit Shank Style | square shank | | Drive System | Hex | | Finish | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05010559127436, 06036585971460 | | Item Length | 78 Millimetres | | Item Weight | 0.18 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Draper Tools | | Material | Chrome Vanadium Steel | | Model Number | 12743 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | UPC | 603658597146 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Draper - **Finish type:** Polished - **Item length:** 78 Millimetres - **Material:** Chrome Vanadium Steel - **Number of pieces:** 1 ## Images ![Expert HI-TORQ 1/2" 17mm Deep Impact Socket | 6 Point Hex Socket | Chrome Vanadium Steel Wrench Accessory | 12743 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51R8mNu7FIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much torq can this handle?** A: Over 450 nm,and that is strong enough for almost anything? **Q: will this fit inside uni-strut** A: this one is a thick wall socket if you need thin wall try Bergen sockets **Q: Is it with rubber insert?** A: This does not come with a rubber insert.
