Verified Product Details — 18 mm Size, ½-Inch Drive and Standard Depth

The 38 mm length and D1 value are shown in the product datasheet linked from Indus MegaMart's listing. These dimensions help with preliminary selection but are not a substitute for checking tool access around the actual fastener. STANLEY identifies the standards above for this model; that is not a promise that a separate test or calibration certificate comes with each order.

Does “18 mm” Describe the Square Drive?

No. 18 mm is the opening that fits an appropriately sized six-sided nut or bolt head, measured across opposite flats. ½ inch is the square drive that attaches to a compatible manual ratchet, breaker bar or hand-operated torque wrench. A ⅜-inch-drive socket with the same 18 mm fastener opening would need a different driving connection. Verify both dimensions, not only the visible 18 mm size.

Why Choose Six Points and Maxi-Drive?

The six-point opening follows a hexagonal fastener's shape. STANLEY's Maxi-Drive profile is intended to help reduce rounded corners when the correct socket is fully seated and operated properly. It does not correct a damaged fastener or make an incorrect size safe. Keep the driver aligned with the fastener and avoid forcing the socket over worn or mismatched heads.

Before Ordering — Tool Fit, Socket Reach and Safe Operation

Check the head, not only the thread. An M-series metric thread designation alone does not prove the fastener has an 18 mm hexagonal head: dimensions vary by fastener specification. Confirm the fastener's actual across-flats measurement, recess diameter and surrounding obstructions.
Check the reach. This is a standard, not a deep, socket. Its published overall length is 38 mm; that is not the same as its usable internal fastener depth. A long stud protruding beyond a nut or a deeply recessed fastener may require a deep socket of the correct size and drive type instead.
Check the tool. Use a compatible ½-inch-square-drive manual tool. STANLEY describes this socket as for manual use; it is not established as impact-rated, electrically insulated or a torque-measuring instrument. Do not operate it with an impact wrench. For specified tightening torques, use an appropriate calibrated manual torque wrench and follow the equipment maker's instructions rather than treating the socket as a torque control device.

Standard Versus Deep, Six-Point Versus Twelve-Point

Choose standard depth when the socket seats fully without a long stud or deep recess; choose a properly sized deep socket when additional reach is necessary. A twelve-point socket offers more angular engagement positions, whereas this model is a six-point choice for a matching hexagonal fastener. Impact tools require separately rated impact sockets. These alternatives are not interchangeable merely because they share an 18 mm opening.

Uses for 18 mm Sockets in Surat Workshops and Maintenance Teams

This model can be relevant to machine-tool servicing, workshop assembly, vehicle repair and maintenance of equipment where the fitted component actually uses an 18 mm hex fastener. A tool-room manager may specify several identical sockets for workstations using ½-inch-drive hand tools. The six-piece Indus MegaMart pack provides a defined purchase quantity for that requirement; it is not a universal service kit.
For a maintenance requisition, give the exact 1-88-740 part number, identify the 18 mm six-point opening, and confirm ½-inch manual-drive compatibility. This is more reliable than choosing a socket from appearance, vehicle type or a generic “18 mm wrench” description. If the job requires other sizes or socket styles, explore Socket & Socket Sets for compatible options.

Frequently Asked Questions About STANLEY 1-88-740

1. Is STANLEY 1-88-740 an 18 mm socket or a ½-inch socket?

It has an 18 mm hexagonal fastener opening and a ½-inch-square-drive connection. The two sizes refer to different ends of the same socket.

2. How many sockets does Indus MegaMart sell in one listed pack?

The listing identifies a pack of six identical STANLEY 1-88-740 sockets. STANLEY's own product page describes one individual socket. Confirm your order is for the required number of selling packs.

3. Does the pack include six different sizes or a ratchet handle?

No. It is listed as six matching 18 mm sockets, not a multi-size assortment or a ratchet-and-socket kit. A compatible handle is a separate tool.

4. Is it six-point or twelve-point?

It is six-point, matching six-sided hexagonal fasteners. STANLEY's Maxi-Drive feature is intended to help reduce fastener rounding with proper fit and use.

5. Will this socket fit a ⅜-inch-drive ratchet?

Not directly. The socket has a ½-inch square drive. Use a compatible hand driver and do not confuse the 18 mm fastener opening with the square-drive size.

6. What is the overall length of this standard socket?

The datasheet linked from the Indus MegaMart listing gives an overall length of 38 mm for 1-88-740. Overall length is not the same as usable internal depth, so verify clearance on recessed nuts or projecting studs.

7. Can STANLEY 1-88-740 be used in an impact wrench?

It is listed by STANLEY for manual use. No impact rating is established. Choose a socket expressly rated for impact-wrench operation when using powered impact tools.

8. Can I order it for Surat if the available stock reads zero?

Yes. Under Indus MegaMart's ordering policy, customers may place and pay for zero-stock orders; the stated delivery period for these orders is 7–14 days. Check the delivery-pincode details and checkout quantity.

9. Does the displayed price include GST, and is it for one socket?

The National Product Page shows a GST-inclusive total for the listed six-piece pack along with its tax breakup. It is not a quoted GST-inclusive price for one loose socket. Verify the final amount at checkout.

10. Is a GST invoice available, and what warranty applies?

Indus MegaMart's generated purchase invoices include the company's GST number. The exact manufacturer's warranty term for model 1-88-740 is not established on the official product page; check the India seller's applicable warranty and return conditions before ordering.
