The Britool Hallmark 25-Piece 1/2" Drive Chrome Socket Set provides an extensive range of professional metric sockets covering sizes from 8mm through to 36mm.
Manufactured from Chrome Vanadium steel, each socket features a high-polish mirror chrome finish for excellent corrosion resistance, easy cleaning and a professional appearance.
The sockets feature a 6-point hexagon profile, providing positive engagement with correctly sized hexagonal nuts and bolts. The 6-point design helps provide secure contact with the fastener while reducing the risk of slipping or rounding when the correct socket size is used.
Designed around the popular 1/2" square drive, these sockets are suitable for use with compatible hand-operated ratchets, breaker bars, knuckle bars, speed braces, extension bars and other suitable 1/2" drive hand tools.
The complete 25-piece metric set is supplied neatly organised in a dedicated Tool Control EVA foam tray, providing secure storage and making individual sockets easy to identify.
These sockets feature the latest V3 Britool Hallmark branding, and individual replacement sockets are available separately when required.
Please note: these are chrome hand sockets and are NOT designed for use with pneumatic, electric or cordless impact tools.

6-Point Hexagon Profile
Each socket features a 6-point hexagonal profile designed for secure engagement with standard hexagonal nuts and bolt heads.
The 6-point design closely follows the shape of a conventional hexagonal fastener and provides positive contact when the correct socket size is selected.
This makes the sockets particularly suitable for general automotive and mechanical applications where secure fastener engagement is important.
Chrome Vanadium Steel
The sockets are manufactured from Chrome Vanadium steel, providing the strength and durability required for regular professional hand-tool applications.
This makes the set suitable for mechanics, engineers, technicians and other users requiring dependable sockets for regular workshop use.
High-Polish Mirror Chrome Finish
Each socket features a high-polish mirror chrome finish.
The polished chrome surface provides a professional appearance while helping protect the external surface against corrosion.
The smooth finish also makes the sockets easier to wipe clean following normal exposure to workshop dirt, grease and oil.
1/2" Square Drive
The 1/2" square drive is one of the most widely used drive sizes for professional automotive, engineering and mechanical applications.
These sockets can be used with compatible hand-operated 1/2" drive tools including:
- Ratchets
- Breaker bars

- Sliding handles
- Speed braces
- Extension bars
- Universal joints
- Other compatible 1/2" drive hand-tool accessories

Tool Control EVA Foam Storage
The complete socket set is supplied in a dedicated Tool Control EVA foam tray.
Each socket has its own designated storage position, helping keep the set organised within a professional toolbox, tool chest or roll-cab drawer.
The organised layout allows the required socket size to be quickly identified while also making it easy to see when a socket has not been returned to its correct position.
This makes Tool Control foam particularly useful in busy professional workshops where organisation and tool accountability are important.
Individual Replacement Sockets Available
Individual sockets from this range are available separately as and when required.
This allows lost, damaged or heavily worn sockets to be replaced without purchasing another complete set.
It also allows customers to add individual sizes to an existing collection of Britool Hallmark V3 1/2" drive 6-point metric sockets.
Latest V3 Britool Hallmark Branding
The sockets supplied in this set feature the latest V3 branding for the Britool Hallmark range.
This provides consistent identification across the complete set and distinguishes these sockets from earlier generations of Britool Hallmark tooling.
Hand Sockets – Not for Impact Tools
These are chrome hand sockets designed specifically for use with appropriate manually operated 1/2" drive tools.
They are NOT impact sockets.
Do not use these sockets with:
- Pneumatic impact wrenches
- Cordless impact wrenches
- Electric impact wrenches

Impact applications require sockets specifically manufactured and rated for impact use.
Using standard chrome hand sockets with impact tools can damage the socket and may create a safety risk.
The Britool Hallmark Range

, providing clear identification and reflecting the professional tooling heritage of the range.
The Britool Hallmark guarantee covers defects in materials and/or workmanship when tools are used for the purpose for which they were designed and for their expected service life.
