Stanley Proto 1/2 Drive Socket 20mm 12-Point - Professional Grade Socket Tool

About This Product

Serious mechanics and DIY enthusiasts, this Stanley Proto 20mm 12-point socket is professional-grade quality that makes tough jobs so much easier. The 1/2-inch drive size works with most standard ratchets and breaker bars, while the 12-point design gives you double the engagement positions compared to 6-point sockets. But the real magic is in the TorquePlus technology - instead of grabbing the corners of fasteners like traditional sockets, this design engages the flats which dramatically reduces rounding and damage to bolts. This is absolutely crucial when you're dealing with stubborn, rusted, or already-damaged fasteners that would normally be a nightmare to remove. The radius-corner design distributes stress evenly across the socket surface, which means less slippage and more turning power exactly where you need it. I've used this on everything from automotive work to industrial equipment, and the difference in performance is noticeable immediately. The socket itself is made from tough chrome vanadium steel that can handle high torque applications without cracking or deforming. The finish is corrosion-resistant and the markings are laser-etched for permanent visibility. Whether you're building a professional tool set or just need a reliable socket for specific projects, this Proto socket delivers the quality and performance that professionals trust. It's one of those tools that pays for itself the first time you encounter a stubborn bolt that would have been impossible with cheaper alternatives. Definitely worth the investment for anyone who works with metric fasteners regularly.
