Armstrong Tools 976-A Six-Point T-Handle Socket

Armstrong Tools 976-A Six-Point T-Handle Socket is a heavy-duty hand tool designed for high-torque turning of large hex fasteners. It features a 1-5/8 inch six-point hex opening that engages precisely with oversized bolts and studs. The socket is integrated into a tee-handle (T-handle) design to deliver extended leverage and stable control when loosening stubborn fasteners in tight or awkward spaces. The 976-A designation identifies this piece as part of Armstrong's lineup of large-diameter sockets intended for industrial maintenance and equipment service where high torque is required. The long, robust construction and six-point engagement help maximize grip on the flats of hex fasteners, reducing slip and wear during repeated use in demanding settings. Commonly listed in Armstrong catalogs and aftermarket listings under 976-A, this socket serves as a specialized tool for professionals dealing with large fasteners that demand sustained manual torque rather than pneumatic or hydraulic turning.
