Engineered with\r\n\ta standard 3\/8' drive, it provides the ideal balance of torque-handling capability and a compact profile, allowing\r\n\tit to fit onto most common ratchets and extensions for versatile use across various projects.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe 12-point (double-hex) geometry is a critical feature for efficiency in tight quarters. By offering twice the\r\n\tengagement positions of a traditional 6-point socket, it allows you to seat the tool onto a fastener with only 30\r\n\tdegrees of rotation. This makes it significantly easier to work in cramped engine bays or behind brackets where your\r\n\tswing arc is restricted, ensuring you can maintain progress even when space is at a premium.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tDurability is a hallmark of this tool's construction, as it is forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel.\r\n\tThis industrial-grade alloy is heat-treated to provide maximum strength and resistance to fatigue, ensuring the\r\n\tsocket walls won't spread or crack under heavy loads. To protect against the harsh environment of a professional\r\n\tshop, the socket is finished with a mirror-polished chrome coating that resists rust, corrosion, and the buildup of\r\n\tgrease and oil.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tInside the socket, precision-machined broaching ensures a high-tolerance, snug fit on 12mm bolt heads. This design\r\n\tprioritizes contact with the flat sides of the fastener rather than the corners, which effectively prevents rounding\r\n\tand damage to your hardware. Whether you are performing a complex brake job or assembling heavy machinery, this 12mm\r\n\tsocket delivers the professional-grade reliability and precision required for the task.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eLoosening \u0026amp; fastening of various fasteners.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eContractor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eFabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eWoodworking\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eDIY\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vermont","offers":[{"title":"Gauteng \/ Collect \/ Each","offer_id":50280936997101,"sku":"TC85012-Gauteng-Collect-Each","price":17.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gauteng \/ Deliver \/ Each","offer_id":50280937029869,"sku":"TC85012-Gauteng-Deliver-Each","price":15.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2292\/9133\/files\/TC85012-main.jpg?v=1783989749","url":"https:\/\/brickparadise.co.za\/products\/tc85012","provider":"Brick Paradise \u0026 Hardware Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
