1/2″ Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2" drive, 6-point long hand socket is engineered for professional mechanics and technicians who demand precision and durability. The extended length design provides superior reach in confined engine bays and tight assembly spaces, making it an essential complement to standard-depth sockets. Built with a bright chrome-plated finish and precision-machined hex profile, these sockets resist corrosion and maintain accuracy across thousands of fastening cycles. Available in a comprehensive 8-32mm range, they integrate seamlessly into existing tool collections and pair well with extended-reach socket sets for maximum workshop versatility.

Key Features

• 6-Point Hex Profile: Precise engagement on hexagonal fasteners, minimizing cam-out and protecting fastener corners from rounding during high-torque operations
• 1/2" Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and impact tools
• Extended Length Design: 77mm overall length provides superior clearance and reach in constrained engine compartments and assembly areas
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Hard-wearing, corrosion-resistant surface ideal for automotive, industrial, and marine environments
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured grip area near the square drive for secure hand control and reduced slipping
• Chamfered Entry: Precision-beveled socket opening facilitates rapid fastener engagement and reduces cross-threading risk

Why Resellers Choose This Product

Margin & Turnover: Long-reach sockets command a consistent premium over standard sockets due to their specialized application. Mechanics stock these as essential additions to their existing collections—they're high-frequency reorders that build customer loyalty and predictable quarterly revenue.

Market Position: The 8-32mm range covers the vast majority of automotive fastening tasks (engine work, suspension, transmission assembly). This breadth makes the line attractive to shops of all sizes—from small independent garages to fleet service centers.

Durability = Repeat Revenue: Chrome-plated construction resists wear and corrosion, extending tool life and reducing warranty claims. Satisfied customers return for additional sizes and complementary tools.

Complementary Sales: Long sockets pair naturally with ratchets, breaker bars, and impact tools, creating multi-unit order opportunities per customer transaction.

Application Profile

These sockets excel in automotive repair, engine assembly, transmission work, and industrial maintenance where fastener accessibility is challenging. The extended length bridges the gap between standard and deep sockets, eliminating the need for socket extensions in many applications—reducing tool stack-up, improving precision, and accelerating labor time.

Real-World Use: Engine block work, suspension component fastening, transmission pan removal, fuel system service, and industrial equipment assembly where standard-length sockets cannot reach recessed fasteners.

Closing Statement

Stock these long-reach sockets in quantity. They're a reliable margin driver with proven turnover velocity. Mechanics don't just buy one—they build complete sets across multiple sizes, creating substantial order volume per customer relationship. Position them as the professional choice for shops serious about efficiency and fastener protection.
