1/2-Inch Drive 12-Point Short Hand Socket, 33mm

Overview

This 33mm short hand socket is engineered for professionals who demand both precision and durability in confined working environments. The 12-point design provides superior engagement with fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding while delivering reliable torque transfer. The compact, short profile makes it indispensable for tasks where space is limited—engine bays, suspension work, and equipment assembly where longer sockets simply won't fit. If you're building a comprehensive socket system, consider pairing this with six-point short sockets for maximum versatility across different fastener geometries.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile: Double-hex design ensures secure fastener engagement with minimal cam-out risk
• Short Hand Length: Compact 44mm overall length optimized for restricted access applications
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, extensions, and impact tools
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured lower body improves handling and prevents slipping during manual operation
• Chrome-Plated Steel Construction: Durable, corrosion-resistant finish suitable for automotive, industrial, and maintenance environments
• Precision Machined Interior: Tight tolerances ensure consistent fastener fit and reduced wear
