1/2″ Drive 12-Point Long Hand Socket

Overview

This 12-point long hand socket delivers extended reach and precise fastening for 1/2" drive applications across an 8-36mm size range. The elongated body provides crucial clearance in confined spaces—ideal for automotive assembly, hydraulic systems, and machinery maintenance where standard sockets fall short. The 12-point configuration grips fastener heads securely while reducing cam-out risk on rounded or damaged fasteners. Chrome-plated steel construction resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance across multiple tool rotations.

If your shop requires flexibility between point configurations, consider pairing these with 6-point long-reach sockets for heavy torque applications where 12-point geometry may slip under extreme load.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile: Grips fasteners on more contact points than 6-point designs; reduces rounding and extends fastener life
• Extended Reach Design: Elongated body (77-85mm length) reaches into recessed or difficult-access fastener locations
• Chrome-Plated Steel: Durable, corrosion-resistant finish; withstands workshop humidity and repeated use
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured outer surface improves hand control during manual operation or when used with extension bars
• Chamfered Socket Openings: Protects fastener corners during insertion and removal; reduces burring
• Continuous 8-36mm Coverage: 16 sizes from 8mm to 36mm; no critical gaps for standard fastening tasks

Business Advantages for Resellers

• Broad Size Range: Single SKU covers most metric fastener applications; reduces inventory complexity
• Durability: Chrome-plated steel delivers long tool life; minimal warranty claims and returns
• Precision Positioning: 12-point design attracts buyers performing assembly work where fastener protection matters
• Competitive Margin: Industrial-grade quality at accessible price point; supports healthy mark-up on bulk orders
• Complementary Selling: Bundle with 6-point variants to position your shop as a one-stop fastening solution
