Description

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

Overview

This 1/2-inch drive 6-point long impact socket is engineered for professional mechanics and technicians working with pneumatic and electric impact tools. The elongated design provides extended reach for applications requiring access to recessed fasteners or confined spaces. With a comprehensive size range from 10mm to 36mm, this socket accommodates most fastening tasks on automotive, industrial, and manufacturing work. For shops managing diverse tool inventories, compatible impact-grade alternatives are available to optimize your toolkit selection.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Geometry: Precisely machined hexagonal drive minimizes fastener rounding and provides reliable engagement with square-head nuts and bolts
  • Impact-Grade Construction: Phosphate or black-oxide coating protects against corrosion and extends service life under high-impact repetitive use
  • Thick-Walled Design: Heavy gauge steel walls absorb shock and prevent socket deformation during high-torque impact operations
  • Extended Length: 78mm standard body length reaches fasteners in deep-set or recessed positions
  • Square Drive Retention: Standard 1/2-inch square male drive with integrated retention hole for positive tool control
  • Chamfered Drive Entry: Slightly rounded hex opening reduces stress concentrations and prevents edge fracturing

Why Resellers Profit From This Socket Series

Complete Size Coverage: The 10-36mm range eliminates the need for multiple suppliers when stocking impact socket inventories. Single-source procurement reduces administrative overhead and simplifies order management for your customers.

Reliable Repeat Business: Impact sockets wear predictably and require regular replacement. This size-stacked offering ensures your customers return for replacements, building consistent margin opportunities.

Shop Compatibility: These sockets work seamlessly with all standard 1/2-inch drive pneumatic tools and electric impact wrenches—the most common drive size across automotive shops, service centers, and maintenance departments.

Professional-Grade Durability: The phosphate coating and thick-wall construction mean fewer defects, fewer returns, and higher customer satisfaction ratings. This builds reputation and encourages bulk reorders.
