1/2-Inch Drive 12-Point Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This series delivers 15 individual long hand sockets sized from 8mm to 36mm, all engineered for 1/2-inch square drive ratchets and extensions. The 12-point geometry engages fasteners from multiple angles, reducing the likelihood of rounding and allowing faster fastener engagement compared to 6-point alternatives. Built with polished chrome plating for corrosion resistance and durability on workshop shelves and in mobile service units. Whether you're assembling a complete socket set or filling specific gaps in your inventory, these long-length sockets excel in confined spaces where standard-depth sockets won't reach. Distributors looking to expand their socket portfolio should also consider pairing these with 6-point long sockets for customers who prefer both drive profiles.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Drive: Engages fastener heads at 12 contact points, reducing cam-out and fastener damage
• Long-Length Design: Extended reach (77-85mm overall length) for access in recessed or confined spaces
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2-inch ratchets, breaker bars, and pneumatic tools
• Polished Chrome Finish: Provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance for retail display
• Knurled Grip Band: Mid-shaft knurling improves grip control during hand operation
• Chamfered Entry: Slightly beveled opening aids in fastener alignment and entry

Business Advantages for Resellers

• Fillable Inventory Gaps: Available in 15 individual sizes—stock only the sizes your customer base demands
• Repeatable Orders: Long-term demand for hand sockets keeps turnover consistent
• Competitive Margin: Hand tools typically sustain healthy resale margins without aggressive discounting
• Professional Presentation: Polished chrome appearance supports premium positioning in your catalog
• Bundle Potential: Pair individual sizes or create curated sets targeting specific trades (automotive, HVAC, manufacturing)

• T = Drive recess depth
• L = Overall socket length

Application Context

These sockets are engineered for professionals who work with metric fasteners in tight spaces: automotive undercarriage work, engine bay assembly, HVAC ductwork connections, and industrial machinery maintenance. The long reach compensates for limited access, while the 12-point profile provides faster engagement and reduced rounding—particularly valuable when working with softer fastener materials (aluminum, brass) or damaged bolt heads.

Ordering Considerations

• Full Range Coverage: 8-36mm covers the majority of metric fastener applications in modern vehicles and equipment
• Individual or Bulk: Purchase single sizes for replacement or complete the range for comprehensive workshop coverage
• Long-Term Durability: Chrome-plated construction withstands years of regular use without degradation
• Stock Rotation: Hand sockets maintain value and don't obsolete—ideal for sustainable inventory management
