1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Impact Socket, 24mm Chrome-Molybdenum

Brief Overview

This 24mm 1/2-inch drive impact socket is engineered for high-torque pneumatic applications. Built from chrome-molybdenum steel with a matte oxide finish, it delivers the durability professional shops demand. The 6-point geometry minimizes fastener rounding while the long profile reaches recessed and tight-access fasteners. Stock this size alongside complementary 1/2-inch drive impact sockets to maximize your shop's fastener removal capability across standard automotive and industrial applications.

Key Features

• 6-Point Internal Geometry: Reduces camming and fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs, critical for stubborn or corroded hardware
• Chrome-Molybdenum Construction: Hardened alloy steel resists impact shock and extends service life under high-torque pneumatic operation
• Matte Black Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating maintains appearance and longevity in humid workshop environments
• Long Profile (78mm Overall Length): Reaches fasteners in recessed areas, engine bays, and tight assembly zones
• Detent Pin Slot: Secure mounting to 1/2-inch square drive tools prevents accidental socket separation during operation
• 34mm Hex Width (D1): Compact head geometry for confined spaces without sacrificing driving surface

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

High Turnover, Minimal Returns: Impact sockets experience consistent demand from collision shops, transmission specialists, and industrial maintenance teams. The 24mm size covers common fasteners (M24 bolts, 15/16" equivalent), making it a staple reorder item.

Margin Protection: Chrome-molybdenum impact-grade sockets command higher margins than standard chrome sockets—customers know the difference and willingly pay for reliability.

Bundle Selling Opportunity: Pair this socket with other sizes in the impact socket range to sell complete metric and SAE sets. Shops stockpiling 1/2-inch drive tools buy multiple sizes at once.

Durability Story: One socket replacement lasts 3–5 years of active shop use. Build customer loyalty by positioning this as the premium choice vs. budget alternatives.

Why This Size Matters

The 24mm socket bridges a critical gap in professional toolkits. It covers M24 bolts and equivalent 15/16" fasteners—common in motor vehicle suspension, gearbox housings, and industrial pump assemblies. Shops that skip this size create workflow friction when facing these fasteners on every third job.
