1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket, 16mm, Cr-Mo Steel

Brief Overview

This 16mm short impact socket is purpose-built for confined working environments where standard-length sockets simply won't fit. The ultra-compact 28mm height makes it ideal for seized fasteners, tight engine bays, and restricted access points on vehicles and equipment. Constructed from chromium-molybdenum steel with black oxide finish, it's engineered for impact use with pneumatic tools. If you need coverage across multiple sizes, short impact sockets in 8–36mm ranges offer complete compatibility with this 1/2-inch drive platform.

Key Features

• Stubby Design: 28mm total height enables access in extremely tight spaces
• 6-Point Internal Profile: Provides secure grip on fasteners, reducing cam-out risk
• Cr-Mo Steel Construction: Chromium-molybdenum alloy resists impact shock and maintains hardness under repetitive pneumatic strikes
• Black Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface suitable for shop and field environments
• Pin/Ring Retention Slot: Machined groove and hole accommodate safety retention pins or ball detents for secure tool attachment
• 1/2-Inch Drive Compatible: Works with all standard 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches and impact ratchets

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Turnover Category: Short impact sockets command consistent demand from professional shops, fleet maintenance, and industrial facilities
• Bulk Purchase Options: Available as individual units or full sets (A-SS151: 15-piece kit, 10–24mm range) for volume discounts and inventory flexibility
• Margin-Friendly: Durable Cr-Mo construction minimizes returns and warranty claims, protecting your bottom line
• Essential Accessory: Complements impact wrench sales—mechanics purchasing impact tools frequently require specialized sockets for their specific jobs
• Professional Positioning: Premium Cr-Mo material positions your shop as a serious supplier, not a discount distributor

Why This Socket Matters

Standard sockets simply don't work in ultra-confined spaces. This short impact socket closes that gap—mechanics can now access fasteners in tight engine compartments, suspension work, and industrial machinery without struggling with conventional tools. The Cr-Mo steel absorbs the repeated shock from pneumatic impacts without cracking or deforming, making it a long-term asset for any professional toolkit.

This is the socket that makes the difference when the standard tool won't reach. Stock it confidently—it sells itself to professionals who've hit the wall with conventional sockets.
