Description

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

Brief Overview

This 1/2-inch drive long impact socket is engineered for high-torque pneumatic and cordless impact applications. The six-point internal design reduces fastener rounding and distributes impact force more evenly than 12-point profiles, making it ideal for heavy removal and installation work on automotive, industrial, and equipment maintenance jobs. The extended 78mm length provides access to recessed fasteners and helps prevent knuckle strikes in tight spaces. For resellers stocking comprehensive impact tool collections, these sockets integrate seamlessly with standard 1/2-inch impact socket sets and chrome-molybdenum steel socket ranges.

Key Features

  • Six-Point Profile: Minimizes fastener damage and cam-out during high-torque impacts
  • Extended Length (78mm): Reaches recessed fasteners and reduces hand clearance issues
  • Impact-Rated Construction: Black oxide phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and durability under repeated impact
  • 1/2-Inch Drive: Compatible with standard impact gun attachments and pneumatic ratchet systems
  • 16-Size Range: 10mm through 36mm covers the majority of automotive and industrial fastener specifications
  • Pin-Detent Retention: Square drive includes retaining pin hole for secure attachment to impact tools

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High Volume Demand: Impact sockets represent one of the fastest-moving categories in professional tool shops. The 10-36mm range captures core automotive applications where customers purchase frequently.
  • Margin Opportunity: Impact sockets command higher margins than standard hand tools due to perceived durability and specialization.
  • Bundle Potential: Sell as individual sizes or package multiple sizes as "impact socket assortments" to increase order value.
  • Repeat Customer Lock-In: Once mechanics standardize on a socket line, they return for replacements, expanding lifetime customer value.
  • Cross-Selling: Pair with pneumatic impact wrenches, socket rails, and impact adapters to build complete impact system sales.

Reseller Guidance

Stock Recommendation: The 10, 13, 17, 19, 24, and 27mm sizes represent the highest-velocity SKUs in most shops. Consider maintaining 3-4 units of each in stock with deeper inventory for the 13, 17, and 19mm sizes.

Pricing Strategy: Position as a mid-tier impact socket line. Price competitively against established brands but emphasize the consistent 78mm length and robust wall thickness across the entire range.

Customer Communication: Highlight the six-point profile as the "fastener-friendly" option for customers who have experienced rounding with 12-point sockets. This is a direct value conversation with professional mechanics.


Order in bulk to maximize margin and establish this as your shop's standard impact socket line.
