1/2″ Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket, 26mm
Brief Overview
This 26mm long hand socket delivers precision fastening access where standard sockets fall short. The extended 77mm length reaches deep-seated fasteners in tight engine bays and confined spaces—a critical advantage for transmission work, suspension assembly, and industrial applications. Chrome-plated construction provides corrosion resistance and professional appearance, while the 6-point internal profile grips hex fasteners securely without cam-out. Available as part of a complete 1/2-inch drive 6-point long socket range covering 8–36mm sizes, ensuring your shop has consistent tool architecture across fastener applications.
Key Features

Business Advantages for Resellers
Stock Velocity & Margin: 26mm fasteners are common in automotive transmission housings, pump assemblies, and industrial equipment—expect steady turnover. The long format commands a modest premium over standard sockets while maintaining cost-effective wholesale pricing.
Mechanic Retention: Professionals who work on transmissions, differentials, and deep-cavity assemblies depend on long sockets. Stocking this size signals your shop understands specialist needs and reduces customer frustration from tool gaps.
Bundle Opportunity: Pair this 26mm socket with additional 1/2-drive long sockets in complementary sizes to create tiered kits (8–20mm, 22–32mm, 34–36mm). Bundled offerings drive larger order values and improve perceived value.
Durability Footprint: Chrome-plated steel withstands shop abuse, industrial moisture, and repeated impact. Lower warranty claims than softer materials translate to better margin protection.
Application Context
This socket excels in:
- Automotive: Transmission pan bolts, differential covers, deep engine work
- Industrial Assembly: Pump housings, gearbox fasteners, recessed equipment bolts
- Heavy Equipment Service: Access to deep-set fasteners in tight quarters
- Precision Work: Where cam-out prevention and fastener protection matter
A 26mm long socket is not an impulse purchase—it solves a specific problem. Position this as a specialist tool for shops investing in depth and capability.
Order as part of a comprehensive range or as a standalone solution. Chrome-plated durability ensures long product life and customer satisfaction.
