1/2-Inch Drive 12-Point Long Hand Socket, 8-36mm Range

Brief Overview

These chrome-plated long hand sockets deliver the deep reach your team needs for recessed fasteners, tight engine bays, and confined assembly work. The 12-point design grips fasteners from multiple angles, reducing cam-out risk compared to 6-point alternatives. Available in a complete 8-36mm size range, they're an essential addition to any professional 1/2-inch drive socket set. For shops requiring alternative point profiles, 6-point long sockets offer a different grip characteristic for specific fastener types.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile: Engages fasteners at 12 positions, providing faster seating and reduced rounding damage
• Long Body Design: Extended length (77-85mm) reaches fasteners in recessed cavities and engine compartments
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant coating for longevity in workshop environments
• Full Size Range: 8mm through 36mm coverage eliminates gaps in your socket kit
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and pneumatic impact tools
• Knurled Grip Ring: Mid-body knurling aids handling and prevents slipping during use

Why This Matters for Your Business

Stock Depth & Turnover: The complete 8-36mm range means you stock one SKU family rather than chasing multiple partial sets. Mechanics consistently reach for long sockets—this range covers 95% of automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial fastener tasks.

Customer Satisfaction: Recessed fastener work (oil drain plugs, spark plugs, suspension components, transmission pans) demands reach that short sockets cannot provide. Long sockets eliminate the need for cumbersome extension chains and improve job speed.

Durability & Repeat Orders: Chrome plate resists corrosion in damp garages. 12-point design minimizes fastener rounding, reducing customer complaints about stripped bolts. Satisfied mechanics become repeat buyers.

Competitive Positioning: Offer these alongside alternative 6-point long designs to give customers choice—6-point for maximum grip on damaged fasteners, 12-point for speed and precision on intact hardware.

Bulk Order Value

Distribute these as a complete metric range (8-36mm) or curate smaller sets for specific market segments—automotive basic kits, heavy equipment maintenance, or industrial assembly. The consistent 77mm length (with 85mm for largest sizes) ensures predictable shelf presentation and easy customer education.

Stock depth in this profile drives tool kit completeness for your customers and reduces the likelihood they source sockets elsewhere.
