1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Impact Socket, Chrome-Molybdenum Steel

Overview

This 1/2-inch drive long impact socket is engineered for automotive technicians and heavy equipment mechanics who require extended reach on recessed fasteners. The 6-point internal geometry provides superior contact geometry compared to 12-point variants, minimizing cam-out and reducing fastener rounding—critical for impact applications where torque peaks suddenly. Chrome-molybdenum steel construction absorbs shock loads without cracking, making it the standard choice for air impact wrenches and pneumatic tools. The matte black impact coating provides corrosion resistance and a professional finish. Whether you're stocking individual sizes or assembling comprehensive socket sets, these sockets integrate seamlessly with complementary socket variants across your inventory.

Key Features

• 6-Point Design: Reduces contact pressure on fastener corners, minimizing cam-out and rounding—essential for high-torque impact work
• Extended Depth: 78mm length reaches recessed bolt heads and nuts that standard sockets cannot access
• Chrome-Molybdenum Steel: Absorbs repeated impact shocks without brittleness or fatigue failure
• Impact-Rated Coating: Matte black finish resists corrosion and provides secure grip under wet conditions
• Pin-Retention Collar: Shallow collar with through-hole and circumferential groove for retaining ring, preventing accidental ejection
• 1/2" Drive Compatible: Works with all standard 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-Velocity Turnover: Impact sockets are consumable wear items in professional shops—frequent repeat orders from established accounts
• Professional Credibility: Chrome-molybdenum impact sockets signal quality inventory to shop managers and purchasing departments
• Complete Size Range: 19 individual sizes from 10mm to 36mm allow you to build full socket sets or sell individual replacements
• Margin Protection: Impact-rated tools command premium pricing compared to standard chrome sockets; customers recognize the durability difference
• Cross-Sell Opportunity: Pair with impact wrenches, extension bars, and impact-rated universal joints for larger transactions

Why This Range Works for Your Customers

The 10-36mm spread covers the vast majority of fasteners found in automotive repair: wheel lug nuts (17-19mm), suspension components (16-24mm), engine bay fasteners (10-21mm), and transmission work (24-36mm). The extended 78mm depth makes these sockets irreplaceable for recessed fasteners on modern platforms where hood clearance is minimal.

Closing Statement

Stock these sockets individually by size or assemble them into impact socket sets to maximize margin and customer loyalty. Professional mechanics trust chrome-molybdenum impact sockets—they're the difference between a fast job and a stripped fastener. Order in bulk for consistent inventory, and your shop accounts will return week after week.
