Description

1/2" Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket, 23mm, 77mm Length

Brief Overview

This 23mm long hand socket delivers the extended reach and reliable fastening control your shop needs for deep-set fasteners and recessed bolt applications. The 6-point internal geometry provides positive engagement without cam-out risk, while the chrome finish and knurled grip band ensure durability and control during demanding work. Part of a comprehensive range of 6-point long sockets across 8-36mm sizes, this socket integrates seamlessly into existing 1/2" drive systems and complements tools like 12-point variants for lighter-duty applications.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Internal Design: Prevents cam-out and fastener rounding, critical for precision work on seized or stubborn hardware
  • 77mm Extended Length: Reaches deep recesses, threaded holes, and studs where standard sockets fall short
  • 1/2" Square Drive: Compatible with all standard 1/2" drive ratchets, breaker bars, and impact tools
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion resistance and professional appearance; maintains grip even in light moisture
  • Knurled Grip Band: Tactile finger purchase reduces slippage and improves control during manual tightening
  • Embossed Size Marking: Clear 23mm identification prevents tool mix-ups on the job

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Margin Stock Item: Long sockets command consistent demand from shops handling engine work, transmission rebuilds, and industrial assembly
  • Mechanic Preference: 6-point design is preferred by professionals over 12-point for its reliability—expect strong repeat orders
  • Bulk Flexibility: Available individually or as part of the complete 8-36mm range; offer both SKUs to capture different customer segments
  • Low Return Risk: Chrome hand sockets have virtually zero defect rates; your warranty exposure is minimal
  • Cross-Sell Opportunity: Pair with impact-rated variants and breaker bars for larger transaction values
