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

Brief Overview

Built for pneumatic impact wrenches and high-torque applications, this 1/2-inch drive 6-point short impact socket delivers the durability and precision that professional mechanics and shops demand. The 6-point design maximizes fastener grip and minimizes cam-out damage, making it ideal for demanding automotive and industrial work. With sizes spanning 8mm to 36mm, this socket covers the majority of common fastener applications. We also offer larger-capacity 3/4-inch drive alternatives for heavier fastening tasks and complementary socket sets to round out your tool inventory.

Key Features

• 6-Point Internal Profile: Reduces rounding and fastener damage compared to 12-point designs; provides superior engagement on standard hex fasteners
• Short Socket Length: Compact design enables access to tight spaces and reduces leverage strain on impact tools
• Matte Black Impact-Grade Coating: Corrosion-resistant finish withstands shop environments and repeated high-torque cycling
• Heavy-Walled Construction: Absorbs impact energy without deformation; designed specifically for pneumatic impact wrench use
• Retaining Pin Hole: Through-hole in drive shank accommodates detent ball or retaining pin for secure attachment
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with all standard 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets

Business Advantages for Resellers

This socket range is a core inventory item for any shop or tool distributor:

• High Turnover: 6-point short sockets are consumable-adjacent—shops rebuy frequently due to wear, loss, or inventory rotation
• Essential Size Coverage: 8mm to 36mm covers 90% of automotive fastening (wheels, engine components, suspension)
• Impulse Add-On: Mechanics purchasing impact wrenches will routinely add sockets to their order; position this as a bundle opportunity
• Professional Grade: Heavy-walled construction commands margin over consumer-grade alternatives while justifying bulk orders
• Margin-Friendly: Lightweight to stock, zero spoilage, excellent shelf life

Application Context

This socket range is purpose-built for:

• Automotive assembly and disassembly (wheels, brake lines, suspension fasteners)
• Engine work (head bolts, intake/exhaust fastener removal)
• Industrial maintenance (machinery assembly, equipment fastening)
• Pneumatic impact wrench applications (high-speed, high-torque scenarios)

The short design is particularly valuable in confined spaces where standard-length sockets cannot reach or create excessive leverage.

Why Order in Bulk

Stock this socket range as a standing inventory item. The 8–36mm coverage aligns perfectly with metric fastener standards used across European and global automotive industries. Mechanics will need replacement sockets regularly; position this as a high-velocity SKU that drives repeat orders and builds customer loyalty.
