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

Overview

This is a professional-grade impact socket engineered for pneumatic impact wrenches on automotive and industrial assembly lines. The 6-point internal profile delivers superior contact geometry for fasteners, reducing cam-out and rounding during high-torque operations. The short-length design (38–48mm overall) provides superior access in tight engine bays and confined spaces where standard sockets cannot reach. Thick forged walls and impact-rated black coating ensure durability across thousands of cycles. Available in 15 sizes (8–36mm) to cover the full range of fastener applications, with complementary 3/4-inch drive options for heavier-duty work.

Key Features

• 6-Point Internal Profile: Precision geometry eliminates edge rounding; optimal for pneumatic impact wrenches
• Short-Length Design: 38–48mm overall length for tight-access assembly and maintenance
• Forged Impact-Grade Construction: Thick walls absorb shock loads from pneumatic impact tools without cracking
• Matte Black Impact Coating: Corrosion-resistant finish rated for industrial environments
• Detent Pin Hole: Integrated side hole for positive socket retention on drive spindles
• 15-Size Range: 8mm to 36mm covers fasteners from small sensors to larger automotive fasteners
• Square Drive Recess: Standard 1/2-inch square drive (13.3mm) compatible with all pneumatic impact wrenches

Business Advantages

• High-Volume Turnover: Sockets are high-velocity consumables in any professional shop—technicians require replacement sets regularly
• Bulk Margin Potential: Pricing scales favorably at volume; position as a core inventory replenishment item
• Cross-Sell Opportunity: Pair with larger 3/4-inch drive impact sockets to capture multi-drive shop orders
• Low Breakage Rate: Forged construction minimizes warranty returns compared to cast alternatives
• Professional Perception: Impact-rated finish and precision tooling signal premium quality to end-customers

Application Context

The 6-point short socket excels where standard sockets fail: engine valve cover bolts, intake manifold fasteners, alternator mountings, and transmission pan bolts in modern vehicles. The short length eliminates knuckle strikes in tight bays; the 6-point profile grips fastener corners without slipping. Pneumatic impact wrenches deliver rapid fastening cycles—proper socket selection reduces technician frustration and cycle time.
