1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point Deep Impact Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2-inch drive deep impact socket is engineered for professional mechanics and technicians who need extended reach on recessed fasteners and hard-to-access bolt heads. The 6-point design provides superior contact geometry compared to 12-point alternatives, reducing cam-out and fastener rounding—critical factors in high-torque pneumatic applications. Available in a comprehensive 10mm through 36mm size range, this socket accommodates most fastening scenarios in automotive assembly, maintenance, and heavy equipment work. For applications requiring standard depth reach, complementary long-reach sockets are also available to round out your tool kit.

Key Features

• 6-Point Hexagonal Drive: Concentrates force on six contact points, minimizing slippage and fastener damage under impact loads
• Deep Socket Design: Extended working depth (78mm) for fasteners recessed in components or behind obstructions
• Impact-Rated Construction: Phosphate/black-oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding shop environments
• Retaining Pin Groove: Circumferential groove accommodates a locking detent to prevent accidental socket ejection during operation
• Size Range: 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, 26mm, 27mm, 28mm, 30mm, 32mm, 34mm, and 36mm
• Professional Grade Markings: Stenciled size identification for quick, visual socket selection

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Inventory Turnover: Deep impact sockets are essential wear items in any professional shop—mechanics must stock multiple sizes and regularly replace sockets experiencing wear or damage
• Bulk Order Margins: Competitive unit pricing on full-range purchases encourages shops to stock 10mm through 36mm, increasing order value per customer
• Cross-Sell Potential: Pair with impact socket extension bars and adapters or complete impact socket sets to maximize basket size
• Professional Grade Positioning: Impact-rated construction justifies premium positioning versus consumer-grade alternatives; shop managers understand the reliability difference
• Consumable Replacement Pattern: Unlike single-use tools, sockets wear gradually, creating recurring purchase cycles—ideal for establishing long-term reseller relationships

Application Context

Deep impact sockets are essential for fasteners located in recesses or behind mechanical obstructions where standard-depth sockets cannot achieve proper contact. The extended 78mm length provides the reach needed for:

• Engine bay fastening (cylinder head bolts, manifold mounting points)
• Suspension component assembly (control arm and strut mounting)
• Transmission housing work
• Brake caliper and rotor installation
• Heavy equipment maintenance where bolt depth exceeds standard socket reach

Bottom Line

Stock this socket range to meet professional mechanic demand for reliable, impact-resistant fastening tools. The 6-point geometry and phosphate finish represent the industrial standard for pneumatic tool work. Available in 19 sizes from 10mm through 36mm, this socket line directly supports your customers' daily operations and generates repeat orders through natural wear and tool replacement cycles.
