6-Point Hexagon Profile

Each socket features a 6-point hexagon profile, designed to provide positive engagement with compatible six-sided nuts and bolt heads.

The profile provides secure contact during higher-torque hand-tool applications and is particularly useful when working with stubborn fasteners where positive socket engagement is important.

Combined with Britool's Stress Relief Drive system, the socket design is intended to provide effective torque transfer while helping minimise unnecessary stress and damage to the fastener.

Professional Automotive & Workshop Applications

The extensive 8-36mm metric range provides excellent coverage for professional automotive and mechanical applications.

Suitable uses include:

  • Automotive servicing and repairs
  • Vehicle maintenance
  • Engine and drivetrain work
  • Suspension repairs
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Machinery maintenance
  • Professional garages
  • Automotive workshops
  • Fleet maintenance
  • General engineering and repair work
  • Home garages and automotive enthusiasts

The larger sizes also make the range particularly useful where higher-torque fasteners are encountered.

Designed for 1/2" Drive Hand Tools

These Chrome Vanadium sockets are intended for use with compatible 1/2" square drive hand tools, including:

  • Ratchets
  • Breaker bars / power bars
  • Extension bars
  • Sliding T-bars
  • Universal joints
  • Other compatible manual socket accessories

These are hand sockets and are not impact-rated. For pneumatic or powered impact wrenches, an appropriate Britool Hallmark impact socket should be used instead, such as the LHMPSET836, which is the equivalent set in impact rated steel.

V3 Britool Hallmark Design

This range features the current Version 3 (V3) Britool Hallmark design and branding.

Each socket is clearly stamped with the Britool Hallmark,, individual part number and socket size, allowing rapid identification and professional tool control within a busy workshop.

Clearly marked individual part references also make it easier to identify and order a replacement socket when required.

No. These are Chrome Vanadium hand sockets designed for use with compatible 1/2" drive ratchets, breaker bars, extension bars, sliding T-bars and other manual hand tools. They are not impact-rated and should not be used with pneumatic, cordless or electric impact wrenches.
