1/2-Inch Drive 12-Point Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This is a premium 12-point long hand socket designed for professional automotive, industrial, and mechanical work. The extended length and 12-point profile deliver superior engagement on fasteners compared to standard-depth sockets, reducing cam-out and rounding risk on both new and damaged bolt heads.

The 12-point configuration excels in confined spaces where a full swing isn't possible—rotating the wrench in small increments is often sufficient. This makes the tool particularly valuable for technicians working in tight engine bays, transmission assemblies, and other space-constrained applications. If your customer base requires maximum versatility, consider pairing these with 6-point long hand sockets for applications demanding supreme holding power.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile: Faster engagement with metric hex fasteners; enables operation at 30° increments instead of 60°
• Extended Length Design: Long reach for accessing fasteners in recessed or deep cavities
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating for extended tool life in wet or treated environments
• Polished Surface: Smooth, reflective finish reduces friction and improves visibility when working
• Knurled Grip Ring: Textured body section for secure hand grip and control during manual fastening
• Chamfered Edges: Precision-machined openings prevent damage to fastener corners
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2-inch ratchets, extensions, and pneumatic tools

Business Advantages for Resellers

Margin & Volume Potential:

• Broad 8–36mm size range ensures you capture complete job requirements in one purchase order
• 12-point sockets command consistent margin across automotive, industrial, and maintenance sectors
• Long sockets address a recurring need—technicians replace worn or lost pieces frequently
• Bulk stocking is practical; chrome plating and simple geometry ensure minimal spoilage risk

Customer Stickiness:

• Mechanics and technicians default to hand sockets for comfort and control—every shop needs multiple sets
• Extended-length design fills the gap between standard and deep sockets, making it an essential addition to any toolkit
• One order covers small bolt work (8mm) through larger fasteners (36mm), simplifying customer restocking

Differentiation:

• 12-point profile is preferred by precision-minded technicians and OEM service centers
• Long reach opens opportunities in specialist segments: engine builders, transmission shops, detailed restoration work
