1/2″ Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket – Professional Deep Socket Range

Brief Overview

This 1/2" drive 6-point long hand socket delivers reliable access to recessed and deeply-set fasteners in automotive, industrial, and mechanical applications. The elongated depth (77mm body length) combined with the precision-machined 6-point hex geometry provides superior grip on fasteners without the slippage risk of 12-point designs. Available in 20 individual sizes spanning 8–36mm, this socket accommodates virtually any fastener dimension your technicians encounter on the job. Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and maintains professional appearance under heavy shop use. If you work across multiple drive sizes, explore our complementary 6-point socket collections for complete coverage across your tool inventory.

Key Features

• 6-Point Hex Interior: Precision-machined lobes grip fasteners securely; reduces cam-out and fastener rounding on both new and worn bolt heads.
• Long Design (77mm depth): Reaches recessed fasteners, lug nuts, and fasteners in tight engine bays without extension bars.
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Durable satin/chrome coating resists corrosion, oils, and shop solvents; maintains aesthetic appeal in professional environments.
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured surface near the drive end improves handling and reduces slip during hand torque application.
• Square 1/2" Drive: Compatible with all standard 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches, and pneumatic impact tools.
• Individual Size Availability: Order single sizes or build complete sets; no forced bulk purchasing of unused dimensions.

Business Advantages for Resellers

Broad Market Appeal: Garages, fleet maintenance, OEM service centers, and independent mechanics all require long socket coverage. Stock depth in this range attracts repeat orders from shops expanding tool collections.

High-Volume Turnover Potential: Long sockets are worn items in active shops—technicians lose them, break handles on impact tools, or wear plating through heavy use. Reliable reorder cycle.

Complete Size Range: 20 individual SKUs (8–36mm) allow customers to purchase only what they need, reducing their inventory carrying costs and increasing perceived value of your offering.

Premium Positioning: Chrome-plated 6-point design commands professional pricing versus economy 12-point alternatives; maintains margin while delivering superior quality.

Tool Pairing Opportunities: Customers purchasing long sockets often need matching ratchet handles, torque wrenches, and extension bars—cross-sell adjacent product categories.

Why This Socket Wins in Your Shop

The 6-point design is the professional's choice—it grips fastener corners rather than flats, dramatically reducing the risk of rounding a bolt head. Once a bolt is rounded, it's scrap metal and lost labor time. The long 77mm depth eliminates the need for extensions in most applications, saving steps and reducing assembly complexity. Chrome plating ensures longevity under heavy use, and the knurled grip band accommodates both careful hand torque and rapid ratchet work.

Stock this range and position it as the premium alternative to budget socket sets. Your customers will return when they need replacements.
