1/2-Inch Drive 10mm Hex Socket, 100mm Length, Chrome-Vanadium Steel

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built hex socket designed for professionals who need precision alignment and extended reach on 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. The 10mm hex size covers mid-range fastener work across automotive assembly, machinery maintenance, and industrial repair. If your shop runs varied fastener applications, pair this with complementary hex sockets in other sizes to build a complete drive system.

Key Features

• Hex Size: 10mm (standard metric fastener applications)
• Drive Size: 1/2-inch square drive (fits all 1/2-inch drive tools)
• Overall Length: 100mm (extended reach for recessed or obstruction-prone fasteners)
• Material: Chrome-vanadium steel (Cr-V) — proven durability under impact and torque
• Socket Body Diameter (D2): 23.9mm (standard 1/2-inch drive profile)
• Grip Design: Knurled band for secure hand control during manual alignment
• Surface Finish: Polished chrome plating on socket body; matte steel on hex shank (corrosion resistance and reduced glare)
• Chamfered Hex Tip: Precise engagement with fasteners; reduces rounding and cam-out

Why This Works for Your Customers

• Extended Reach: The 100mm length lets mechanics access fasteners in confined or recessed positions without extension bars, saving setup time and reducing alignment issues.
• Mid-Range Coverage: 10mm is a frequently used hex size in European automotive and industrial equipment, making this a high-turnover stock item.
• Impact-Rated: Chrome-vanadium construction absorbs shock from impact tools without cracking or chipping — critical for professional shops running pneumatic wrenches.
• Inventory Efficiency: Compact individual socket maximizes shelf space while minimizing dead stock; pairs seamlessly with your existing 1/2-inch drive tool collection.

Why Stock This in Bulk

10mm hex fasteners are endemic to automotive assembly, engine work, and machinery repair across European manufacturing. A single mechanic can easily exhaust one socket per shift through wear, loss, or dedication to a single fastener type. Offering this at competitive bulk pricing positions your shop as a reliable supplier for shops that demand consistent quality without guesswork on compatibility.

Also consider stocking a 10-piece hex socket assortment to capture customers building complete tool kits.

The Bottom Line

A straightforward, no-compromise hex socket that earns its shelf space through daily use and reliable performance. Chrome-vanadium durability, extended reach, and precise fit make this a professional standard — not a budget compromise.
