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

Overview

These 12-point long hand sockets deliver the speed and accessibility you need on the shop floor. The elongated design reaches fasteners in recessed or tight mounting locations where standard sockets fall short, while the 12-point profile grips fasteners with minimal clearance requirements. Chrome-plated construction resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance through heavy rotation. A knurled grip band provides secure handling under pressure. If your shop also works with 6-point sockets for maximum holding power, consider pairing these with 6-point long sockets for full coverage across different fastening scenarios.

Key Features

• 12-point internal profile – Fast engagement on standard fasteners; reduces the need for precise alignment
• Extended length – Reaches fasteners in recessed cavities, behind components, and in confined engine bays
• 1/2-inch square drive – Compatible with all 1/2-inch ratchets, breaker bars, and impact tools
• Chrome-plated finish – Corrosion resistance and durability in humid or high-wear environments
• Knurled grip band – Improved handling and reduced slippage during manual operation
• Comprehensive size range – 8mm through 36mm covers the vast majority of metric fastening applications

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-volume demand – 12-point sockets remain the go-to choice in fast-paced shops; stock rotation is predictable and rapid
• Price-point flexibility – Longer sockets justify a modest markup over standard lengths; customers recognize the added reach value
• Complete metric coverage – Single SKU range eliminates customer requests for special orders; reduces lost sales
• Bundle opportunity – Pair with 6-point alternatives or ratchet handles for multi-item transactions
• Professional presentation – Chrome finish and packaging appeal to both seasoned mechanics and shop foremen making purchasing decisions

Specifications Key:

• D1: Socket hex width across flats
• D2: Socket outer diameter
• T: Wall thickness
• L: Overall length (77–85mm)

Why This Range Works

The 8–36mm progression ensures compatibility with metric fasteners across automotive, industrial, and general maintenance applications. The consistent 77mm length (with minor increases for larger sizes) optimizes reach without creating storage or tool-roll complications. Each socket is built to handle standard hand-ratchet torque and light impact-tool use, making them a trusted staple in professional shops.

Value Proposition

Stock this range for customers who demand reach without sacrificing grip security. The 12-point design appeals to mechanics working at speed, while the extended length solves real problems in engine bays, transmission housings, and suspension assemblies. Bulk purchasing unlocks competitive margins and ensures rapid inventory turnover—a combination that drives reseller profitability.
