Wera 8790 HMC Deep 1/2" Drive Hexagon Socket Metric

The Wera 8790 HMC 10mm deep socket with 1/2" drive and 83mm length is the smallest size in the range, ideal for accessing smaller metric fasteners in automotive, machinery and general engineering applications. Despite its compact 10mm dimension, the extended 83mm depth provides excellent reach for working with recessed bolts and protruding threaded rods. This socket size is particularly useful for electrical components, sensor brackets, trim fixings and smaller mechanical assemblies where space is restricted. The hexagonal profile ensures optimal six-point contact with bolt heads, maximising torque transmission whilst protecting fastener profiles from damage, which is especially important with smaller bolts that can be more susceptible to rounding. The ball intercept ring keeps the socket securely attached to your ratchet or drive tool during both manual and machine operation (non-impact), preventing drops in awkward working positions. Knurling at the lower end provides reliable grip even when your hands are oily, whilst the Take it easy colour coding system enables instant identification of this 10mm size in your socket collection. Features and Benefits: • 83mm deep profile for accessing recessed smaller fasteners • Hexagonal design for maximum torque transfer with minimal fastener wear • Ball intercept ring prevents socket detachment during use • Knurled section ensures secure grip in oily conditions • Colour-coded for rapid identification Contents: • 8790 HMC Deep socket with 1/2" drive, 10 x 83 mm
