1/2″ Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket, 8–36mm

Brief Overview

This 1/2″ drive short impact socket is engineered for high-torque pneumatic and cordless impact applications in professional automotive and industrial environments. The compact, reinforced design delivers consistent performance across a comprehensive 8–36mm size range, making it an essential addition to any impact tool collection. Pair this with larger 3/4″ drive impact sockets for complete workshop coverage across multiple drive sizes.

Key Features

• 6-Point Internal Geometry: Maximizes fastener contact, reduces cam-out, and prevents rounding of bolt heads—critical for seized or stubborn fasteners.
• Short Profile: Compact length (38–48mm) allows access to tight spaces where standard sockets cannot reach, without sacrificing durability.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Thick-walled metal body with matte black impact-resistant finish withstands repeated hammer strikes and high rotational forces.
• Transverse Retention Hole: Integral pin-locking feature keeps socket secured to the drive during high-speed operation and prevents accidental ejection.
• Chamfered Edges: Smooth entry design reduces cross-threading and fastener damage during installation.
• Comprehensive Size Range: 15 individual sizes (8mm through 36mm) cover the majority of metric fasteners in automotive repair, maintenance, and assembly work.

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-Margin Consumable: Impact sockets wear faster than hand tools—customers must replenish stock regularly, creating predictable repeat orders.
• Complete Range Opportunity: Sell the full 8–36mm lineup as a curated kit or individual replacements, increasing basket value per transaction.
• Professional Credibility: Short impact sockets are non-negotiable for any shop with pneumatic tools. Stock visibility builds customer trust and drives competitive differentiation.
• Multi-Application Appeal: Automotive mechanics, fleet maintenance, manufacturing, and assembly shops all require these—broad market reach.
• Low Holding Cost: Durable metal construction, no shelf-life limitations, compact storage footprint.

Application Context

These sockets excel in time-sensitive industrial environments where access limitations and fastener integrity are non-negotiable:

• Automotive Service: Engine work, suspension assembly, brake systems—where space is tight and bolt seizure is common.
• Manufacturing/Assembly: Repetitive fastening operations demanding reliable 6-point engagement and minimal downtime.
• Fleet Maintenance: High-volume fastener replacement across multiple vehicles, where tool longevity directly impacts labor costs.
• Pneumatic Tool Compatibility: Designed specifically for impact wrenches, air ratchets, and cordless impact drivers operating in the 100–500+ ft-lbs torque range.
