PERFORMANCE TOOL 1/2" DRIVE 18MM 6PT. DEEP SOCKET

This is a 1/2 inch drive, 18 millimeter, 6-point deep socket from Performance Tool. It’s designed for general automotive use where you need to reach fasteners that are recessed or sit a bit lower than a standard socket can manage. The 6-point design grips the fastener head more securely than a 12-point socket, which is especially helpful when you're dealing with stubborn or slightly rounded bolts.

Made from solid steel, this socket is built to handle the torque you'll apply with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. The 18mm size is common for many Japanese and some European vehicles, often found on things like suspension components, engine mounts, or certain body panel fasteners. Its deep profile means it can slide down over longer bolts or studs without bottoming out, giving you a full engagement on the nut or bolt head.
