12-Point Sockets

12-Point Sockets for Flexible Fastener Access

12-point sockets are designed to provide more engagement angles when working with hex or 12-point fasteners. This makes them useful in areas where there is limited space to reposition a ratchet between turns. They are commonly used during automotive repair, equipment service, and general shop maintenance. For sockets that can pivot to improve access around tight angles, flex sockets are another helpful option.

These sockets are often chosen when faster alignment with a fastener helps speed up the job. When working with standard SAE fastener sizes, fractional sockets are commonly used in many toolkits. For sockets designed specifically for hex-style fasteners, hex sockets provide another practical choice. Browse our selection at JB Tools with fast shipping and free shipping on orders over $99.
