Jeff Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Powerbuilt 3/4 inch drive by 1 1/2 inch 12 point socket. Now, this 1 1/2 inch SAE socket will help you apply torque when you're installing a hitch ball. It is a 12 point design socket. And as we mentioned, it is compatible with a 3/4 inch drive socket wrench.
This has a nice, mirror-polished, chromium-vanadium steel construction, which resists corrosion. It is cold forged and heat treated. And if you notice on the side, the labels are engraved for quick identification of the size. This is compliant with the ANSI standards. Few specs again, the socket size is 1 1/2 inches.
The drive size is a 3/4 inch. Now, the overall diameter on this, just to give you some measurements to make sure it fits your application, about two inches overall diameter. And the length of it is right at 2 3/8 inches. But that should do it for the review on the Powerbuilt 3/4 inch drive by 1 1/2 inch 12 point socket..

Does the job!
etrailer worked to resolve my missing package with follow-up emails, and direct Customer Support. I received my Powerbuilt Socket Thin Walled 1-7/8" - 3/4 and product woks just it should. Thank you.
I had to return the item. I bought it to tigten the nut on the ball for the equalizer weight distrubution hitch that I bought from etrailer. The WDH is great. But the etrailer socket was too thick, and I had to get the equilizer socket. But I think it was a bit much that only equilizers thin walled socked would work on for the install and that socket was VERY expensive.
The Equalizer products are great….the shipping of 65 pound of Equalizer parts in a 1 cubic foot box, not so much. The UPS driver had a hard time carrying the box to our porch. When he set it down it had a 4” hole in the corner and the 1-3/4” socket was in his hand that had fallen out and, we learned later upon opening the box, the lubricant was missing (see attached photos). To expect anyone to pick up a 65 pound loaded cardboard box with no hand holds is unrealistic thus, the reason for the hole in the box and missing lubricant.
I was impressed with the quality of the hitch and the quick delivery. Also, a call to etrailer explaining my missing lubricant was handled with courtesy and understanding with replacement lubricant headed my way. EXCELLENT customer service….thanks!
Quality socket. I saw some bad reviews saying this won't fit the recessed Equalizer hitch ball nut. Well, you've got to pivot the 2 bar pockets in the head out of the way, then it fits perfect. These aren't easy to move on a new hitch, so get something strong, with plenty of leverage.
Review for the thin wall 3/4" drive 1 7/8" socket. This was needed for torquing a hitchball to a weight distribution head. The thin wall was just narrow enough to slip onto the nut down in the head. It was snug but came off after torque was set with abit of care. If you have a tight work space such as l did on this application, you must use a thin wall socket. Product appears quality & should last yrs. 5 stars for product & timely shipping from etrailer...
I purchased an unusual hitch [RP66560] that wouldn't allow a standard wrench to tighten the nut for the hitch ball. This product was absolutely necessary for installation and the price was very fair.
Just what I needed to torque my hitch ball down. Worked perfectly!
This was a lot of socket for the money. It did what it needed to do.
as advertised, all good
The socket worked great with my equalizer hitch ball installment its thin walled but very strong
I have not recieved this item yet
Great product. Worked great. Thanks
Exactly what we were looking for an we had not been able to find it anywhere else! Quality is great!
Received correct one. Should do the tri ck.
Gets the job done.
My one complaint is that the agent didn't advise me on getting a socket. So I ended up paying shipping just for the socket.
Don't buy the overly priced socket from
This is a great socket, I just ordered the wrong one. I’ll return it which I’m sure will be just as quick and easy as their shipping is. I really like how fast everything was shipped out and the updates.
This was supposed to be a thin wall socket needed to torque the hitch ball on the equalizer hitch system. Outside diameter of the socket is too big And did not work.Luckily I was able to find a shop 20 miles away from me that was able to mount the hitch ball and torque it correctly For a fee. Wish I would’ve save the money on the socket to go towards paying to get it done.
Great customer service This is why I do my business with etrailer They BELIEVE in customer satisfaction!!!
Fits the Equalizer trailer system 14,000lb hitch ball bolt perfectly inside the Equalizer hitch head!
And who doesn't like "perfect" with a $40 savings over the Equalizer socket price.
THANKS etrailer.com
This socket was a must have for my hitch
Amazing quality and worked perfectly on my 14000 lb Equalizer Distribution hitch.. was a 60 second tighten, and was worried this thin wall socket wouldnt fit (silly me)
I purchased a 24ft 3/4 drive torque wrench and that did the trick.
Definitely keeping this aboard on my travel trailer.
Socket performs as expected. I use to to install or replace the ball on certian W/D hitches
