Blue Spot Tools Individual 27mm Deep Hex Socket (1/2" Drive)

MPN: 01702

Barcode: 5028734017021

Size: 27mm | 1/2" Drive

Weight: 0.26kg

Overview:

CrV steel construction gives this Blue Spot Tools 27mm deep hex socket a 569Nm maximum torque rating for heavy fastener work. The deep profile accommodates M18 bolts and larger automotive connections where protruding threads prevent a standard socket from engaging.

The knurled ring near the drive end makes manual handling firm and controlled. A mirror-polished chrome vanadium body carries clear size markings that stay visible in a crowded toolbox.

This product is backed by the Blue Spot Tools Lifetime Guarantee.

Key Features and Benefits

• High-torque rating: Rated to 569Nm, suited to the most demanding 1/2" drive hand-tool fastener jobs.
• Deep socket profile: Reaches the nut face on fasteners where the bolt thread runs past the end of a standard socket.
• Chrome vanadium alloy: Retains its form under the stress of repeated heavy-duty tightening cycles.
• Knurled ring: Stops the socket from sliding from your grip when placing it onto the fastener.
• Six-face hex contact: Distributes torque load across all flats of the fastener head, reducing rounding.
• 1/2" square drive: Pairs directly with breaker bars, ratchets, torque wrenches, and T-bar handles.

How to Use

• Check size: Measure the fastener to confirm 27mm across the hex flats before reaching for this socket.

• Fit to drive: Press the 1/2" square drive securely onto your ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench.

• Position: Place the socket over the fastener and check that it sits squarely on all six faces.

• Work the fastener: Apply torque through the drive tool to tighten or release as needed.

• Retrieve: Lift the socket away cleanly once the fastener operation is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is a 27mm socket used for?
  A 27mm socket fits M18 hex head bolts and nuts. It is commonly used on axle components, suspension fasteners, agricultural machinery, and industrial connections that use larger metric hex bolt heads.

• What is the difference between a hex socket and a bi-hex socket?
  A hex socket has six contact points that grip the flat faces of a standard six-sided fastener. A bi-hex (12-point) socket has twice the number of engagement positions but transfers the load across less surface area per flat.

• When is a deep socket not suitable to use?
  In very confined spaces, the extra length of a deep socket may prevent it from fitting at all. A standard length socket is the better option where clearance is restricted, and the bolt thread does not protrude.

• What materials are chrome hand-tool sockets typically made from?
  Most chrome-finish hand-tool sockets use chrome vanadium steel. This alloy balances hardness and toughness for use with ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars within the socket's rated torque limits.

• Can I use any 1/2" drive ratchet or wrench with this socket?
  Yes - the 1/2" square drive opening fits any standard 1/2" drive hand tool. This includes ratchets, T-bars, breaker bars, torque wrenches, and extensions with a matching 1/2" female drive.

Summary

The Blue Spot Tools 27mm 1/2" Drive Deep Hex Socket handles M18 fasteners and a broad range of automotive and mechanical jobs. CrV construction, a 569Nm torque rating, and a deep hex profile make it a capable hand-tool socket for trade and home workshop use.
