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

Overview

This 1/2-inch drive long impact socket delivers the precision and durability your shop needs for high-torque pneumatic work. The six-point internal geometry grips fastener heads securely, minimizing cam-out and rounding damage—critical when you're working with seized or corroded bolts. The extended barrel length provides reach on deep-set fasteners without requiring socket extensions, saving time during assembly and disassembly operations. Whether you're stocking your own tool cabinet or building a reseller's inventory, this socket performs reliably across automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance applications. If you need additional drive options or specific size coverage, consider pairing this with chrome-molybdenum impact sockets for expanded capability.

Key Features

• Six-Point Design: Distributes force across six contact points, reducing fastener rounding and cam-out during high-torque operations
• Long Barrel Profile: 78mm length reaches fasteners recessed in engine bays, transmission housings, and deep cavities
• Impact-Grade Construction: Hardened steel body withstands repeated pneumatic impacts without cracking or deforming
• Matte Finish: Non-reflective surface reduces glare and provides a professional appearance
• Pin Hole Configuration: Integral pin locking hole and through-groove enable quick socket retention on 1/2-inch impact wrenches
• Comprehensive Size Range: 10mm through 36mm coverage eliminates gaps in fastener sizing

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Turnover Item: Impact sockets are consumable-adjacent tools—shops regularly replace worn units, ensuring repeat orders
• Bulk Stocking Appeal: The 16-size range (10-36mm) makes it easy to offer complete kits or individual replacements
• Competitive Margins: Impact-grade tools command premium pricing due to durability and safety perception
• Cross-Sell Opportunity: These sockets pair naturally with impact wrenches, ratchets, and air compressor packages
• Professional Endorsement: Six-point geometry is preferred by experienced technicians, reducing return rates

Application Context

This socket size range covers the majority of automotive fasteners: wheel lugs, suspension components, transmission pans, engine block bolts, and differential covers. The 78mm barrel length is ideal for reaching deep into engine compartments without stacking extensions, which reduces vibration and improves accuracy. The six-point profile is particularly valuable on modern alloy fasteners that can strip under excessive torque.

Value Proposition

Stock this range as a foundational impact socket offering. The combination of size breadth, impact-rated durability, and competitive cost-per-unit makes it an essential inventory item for any shop servicing vehicles or industrial equipment. Your customers will return for replacement units as normal wear occurs.
