1/2″ Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2″ drive, 6-point short impact socket is engineered for professional technicians and fleet maintenance operations requiring reliable fastener engagement under sustained high-torque conditions. Built with impact-grade materials and a reinforced hex geometry, each socket delivers consistent performance across the full 8–36mm size range. Whether you're managing automotive assembly lines, heavy equipment repair, or general industrial fastening, these sockets provide the durability and precision your shop demands. Stock these alongside 3/4-inch drive impact sockets to cover both standard and heavy-duty drive requirements across your entire operation.

Key Features

• 6-Point Hex Design: Provides positive fastener grip with minimal cam-out risk, reducing fastener damage and rounding.
• Impact-Grade Construction: Black oxide finish and heavy-wall cylinder design absorb shock loads from pneumatic impact wrenches without fracturing or deforming.
• Short Profile: Compact length (38–48mm depending on size) enables access in confined spaces and reduces overall tool bag footprint.
• Retaining Pin Hole: Through-hole design accommodates detent ball or retaining pin for secure socket retention on the drive.
• Full Size Range: Comprehensive coverage from 8mm to 36mm, minimizing inventory gaps for mixed fastening applications.

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Turnover Potential: Impact sockets see steady demand in automotive service centers, fleet maintenance, and industrial shops. The 8–36mm range covers the majority of metric fastener applications.
• Bulk Order Margin: Purchase full sets by size or build customized assortments. Volume pricing enables profitable resale to small shops and independent technicians.
• Durability = Repeat Sales: Impact-rated construction means fewer premature failures, but regular replacement cycles ensure consistent reorder volume as sockets wear or are lost.
• Essential Accessory: Impact sockets are non-negotiable for any shop with pneumatic impact wrenches—pair these with complementary 1/2-inch drive socket sets to increase average order value.

Application Context

These sockets excel in environments where fastener security and tool durability are paramount:

• Automotive Service: Wheel studs, engine fasteners, suspension components.
• Fleet Maintenance: Standardized fastening across heavy truck and equipment fleets.
• Industrial Assembly: Production lines requiring rapid, repeatable fastener engagement.
• Equipment Repair: Compressors, pumps, hydraulic systems where impact force is unavoidable.

The short profile is particularly valuable in engine bays and tight assembly environments where a standard-length socket would be difficult to position.

Call to Value

Stock these 1/2″ impact sockets to address the core fastening needs of any shop running pneumatic tools. The 8–36mm range delivers coverage that your customers expect, the impact-grade construction ensures durability that builds confidence in your brand, and the short profile differentiates your offering from basic socket sets. Order by individual size, build assortments, or stock the full range—pricing improves with volume, and reorder cycles are predictable and profitable.
