1/2″ Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade impact socket engineered for high-torque pneumatic impact wrenches and manual breaker bar applications. The 6-point design grips fasteners securely, reducing cam-out and rounding damage—critical for preventing costly rework in high-volume shops. The short profile delivers excellent accessibility in confined spaces where standard sockets won't fit. The pin-detent design ensures positive retention on fasteners, minimizing dropped sockets and production delays.

Application Context

These sockets excel in automotive service environments where impact wrenches dominate—engine teardown, suspension work, transmission service, and general maintenance. The 6-point design prevents the rounding that plagues 12-point sockets on worn fasteners. The short profile is essential for confined engine bays and tight assembly areas where full-length sockets cannot reach.
