1/2″ Drive 6-Point Short Hand Socket – Professional Grade

Overview

This 1/2″ drive 6-point short hand socket delivers precision and durability across a comprehensive 24-size range (13–36mm). Engineered for professional mechanics and technicians who demand reliable fastener engagement without compromise. The short profile design minimizes obstruction in tight work spaces while maintaining the structural integrity required for consistent torque delivery. Whether you're stocking a full-service shop or building a complete socket set, these sockets integrate seamlessly with standard 1/2″ drive tools and complement precision short socket variants for maximum versatility.

Key Features

• 6-Point Internal Profile: Tight, precise contact with hex fasteners; reduces cam-out and fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs
• Short Overall Length: Optimized for confined work areas; reduces reach and improves control in tight engine bays and assembly applications
• Knurled Grip Band: Mid-body knurled ring ensures secure hand grip without slipping, even in oily conditions
• Chrome/Satin Finish: Corrosion-resistant polished metal surface; maintains appearance and function across seasons
• Precision Machined: Clean internal geometry and chamfered edges ensure smooth operation and extended tool life
• Stepped Design: Graduated body profile accommodates larger fastener heads while maintaining compact external dimensions

Business Advantages

Stock Completeness: The 24-size range (13–36mm) covers the vast majority of fastener applications in automotive, industrial assembly, and maintenance work. Resellers can confidently offer clients a single, cohesive product line without fragmentation.

Recurring Orders: 6-point sockets are fundamental to any professional toolkit. The short design appeals to both general mechanics and specialists working in confined spaces, expanding your customer base.

Margin-Friendly: Short-profile sockets command a steady resale margin due to their versatility and durability. High repeat purchase rate from shops and service centers.

Application Context

Ideal For:

• Automotive service (engine bay work, suspension assembly)
• Industrial equipment maintenance and assembly
• Precision machinery servicing
• General mechanical work where space constraints are a factor

Drive Compatibility: Designed for standard 1/2″ drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and impact tools. Short length makes these particularly valuable for confined-space applications where standard-length sockets bind or obstruct visibility.
