The Britool Hallmark 25 Piece 1/2" Drive 12 Point Impact Socket Set is a professional-quality metric impact socket collection designed for demanding automotive, engineering and industrial workshop applications.
Manufactured from Chromium-Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel, these heavy-duty impact sockets are engineered to withstand the repeated shock loading and high-torque demands associated with pneumatic impact wrenches and suitable powered fastening tools.
The set contains 25 metric sockets covering sizes from 8mm to 36mm, providing an extensive selection for professional mechanics, commercial vehicle technicians, maintenance engineers and workshop users.
Each socket features a 12-point bi-hexagon profile, providing multiple engagement positions around a compatible fastener. This can be particularly useful when positioning a socket in restricted areas or working with 12-point fastener heads.
The sockets also feature dual pin-and-ring retention holes, allowing compatible retaining systems to be used where required.
For organised workshop storage, the complete set is supplied in a precision-cut EVA tool control foam tray, measuring approximately 391mm × 190mm × 34mm.
The foam tray is designed for convenient placement in suitable toolbox and roll-cab drawers, helping keep sockets organised, accessible and easy to identify.
Each socket is laser etched with the Britool Hallmark logo and individual part reference, making it easier to identify the correct tool and source individual replacements when required.
This set is particularly suited to workshops that require a comprehensive range of professional 1/2" drive metric bi-hexagon impact sockets in a compact, organised storage format.

Total: 25 Impact Sockets
All sockets feature a 1/2" square drive and 12-point bi-hexagon profile.
The set includes consecutive metric sizes from 8mm to 30mm, together with 32mm and 36mm.
Chromium-Molybdenum Steel Construction
The sockets are manufactured from Chromium-Molybdenum steel, commonly referred to as Cr-Mo steel.
Cr-Mo is widely used in professional impact socket manufacture because of its suitability for tools subjected to repeated shock loading.
Impact sockets must withstand different operating conditions from conventional chrome hand sockets.
When used with an impact wrench, the socket experiences rapid torque pulses and repeated mechanical impacts.
The Cr-Mo construction is intended to provide the toughness and durability required for these applications.
This makes the Britool Hallmark set suitable for professional workshops using pneumatic, cordless and electric impact equipment.
Always ensure that the impact wrench, socket and any connecting accessories are correctly rated for the intended application.
12-Point Bi-Hexagon Socket Profile
Every socket in this set features a 12-point bi-hexagon profile.
A 12-point socket provides twelve engagement positions around the fastener, allowing the socket to be repositioned in smaller angular increments than a conventional 6-point design.
This can be useful when access is restricted or when working with fasteners that require a 12-point profile.
The bi-hexagon design is suitable for correctly sized compatible fasteners, including appropriate hexagonal and 12-point heads.
The additional engagement positions can make socket positioning more convenient in certain workshop applications.
However, socket profile selection should always take account of the fastener type, condition and torque requirements.
For damaged, heavily corroded or rounded hexagonal fasteners, a suitable 6-point impact socket may provide a more appropriate engagement profile.
1/2" Square Drive – Professional Impact Tool Compatibility
All 25 sockets feature a 1/2" square drive.
This drive size is widely used in automotive workshops, vehicle servicing facilities and mechanical engineering applications.
The sockets are designed for use with compatible impact tools, including:
- 1/2" drive pneumatic impact wrenches
- 1/2" drive cordless impact wrenches
- 1/2" drive electric impact wrenches
- Suitable manually operated 1/2" drive tools
The sockets are suitable for a broad range of fastening tasks where impact-rated tooling is required.
When using impact equipment, ensure the socket is correctly fitted to the square drive and secured using an appropriate retention system where necessary.
Do not use damaged or incorrectly fitting sockets.
Dual Pin-and-Ring Retention Holes
The Britool Hallmark impact sockets incorporate dual pin-and-ring retention holes.
These holes allow the sockets to be secured to compatible impact wrench anvils using an appropriate retaining pin and ring system.
Positive retention can be particularly important when using impact equipment in demanding workshop conditions.
The dual-hole arrangement provides options for alignment with suitable retaining systems.
Please note: Retaining pins and rings are not included with this socket set.
Where the impact wrench manufacturer specifies a particular socket retention arrangement, the correct components must be used.
Never operate an impact tool with an insecurely fitted socket.
Precision-Cut EVA Tool Control Foam Tray
The complete 25-piece socket set is supplied in a precision-cut EVA foam tray.
Each socket has its own dedicated storage position, allowing the tools to be kept organised and readily accessible.
The foam insert is particularly useful for professional workshops where efficient tool identification and inventory control are important.
The organised layout also helps technicians identify missing sockets before completing a job.
Foam Tray Dimensions
- Length: 391mm
- Depth: 190mm
- Height: 34mm
These compact dimensions make the tray suitable for installation in many professional toolbox and roll-cab drawers.
Always check your toolbox drawer dimensions before purchasing to confirm compatibility.
The EVA tray is intended to provide organised storage and tool control, rather than impact protection during tool operation.
Laser-Etched Britool Hallmark Identification
Each socket is laser etched with the Britool Hallmark logo and its individual part reference.
These markings make it easier to identify the sockets and select the correct tool during workshop use.
Individual part references are particularly useful when sourcing replacement sockets.
The distinctive Britool Hallmark identification also helps distinguish these professional tools from unbranded or generic impact sockets.
The sockets are designed to complement other tools within the Britool Hallmark professional workshop range.
Individual Replacement Sockets Available
Individual sockets from the Britool Hallmark impact socket range are available separately, subject to stock.
This allows professional workshops to replace a missing, damaged or worn socket without necessarily purchasing another complete 25-piece set.
It is also useful for mechanics who require additional quantities of frequently used metric sizes.
When purchasing individual replacements, ensure that the required socket has the correct:
- Metric size
- 1/2" square drive
- 12-point bi-hexagon profile
- Impact-rated construction
- Compatible Britool Hallmark part reference
