1/2-Inch Drive Deep Impact Socket, 26mm, 6-Point, 78mm Length

Overview

This is a professional-grade impact socket engineered for demanding fastening work in automotive service, heavy equipment maintenance, and industrial assembly. The 26mm size sits in the mid-to-large fastener range, making it essential for wheel work, suspension components, and transmission fasteners. The deep-reach 78mm length provides clearance for recessed or tight-access fasteners. If you work with larger fastener ranges, consider pairing this with smaller metric deep sockets or larger-capacity 3/4-inch drive options to round out your socket inventory.

Key Features

• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with all standard 1/2-inch ratchets, breaker bars, and pneumatic impact tools
• 26mm Hex Profile: 6-point design minimizes cam-out and distributes load evenly across fastener corners
• Deep Socket Design (78mm): Extended reach for recessed nuts, lug nuts on vehicles with alloy wheels, and tight engine compartment work
• Impact-Rated Construction: Hardened steel with black-oxide finish resists corrosion and absorbs repeated impact cycles without cracking or chipping
• Machined Precision Fit: Consistent tolerances (D1: 38mm, D2: 30mm, T: 13mm) ensure reliable engagement with drive tools and fasteners

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

Professional Reliability: Impact sockets are non-negotiable in any serious shop. This 26mm size covers a significant portion of metric fastener work—wheel removal, suspension adjustments, and engine compartment fasteners—making it a high-velocity SKU.

Repeat Sales Driver: Impact sockets see regular replacement due to wear and loss. Unlike precision tools, mechanics expect to cycle through these regularly, creating predictable reorder demand.

Margin-Friendly Category: Impact sockets deliver consistent gross margins while remaining affordable enough for shops to stock in quantity. Bulk orders (sets of 10-20 units) are standard.

Complements Existing Inventory: This 26mm socket pairs naturally with adjacent sizes in standard metric progressions, encouraging customers to buy related SKUs for complete coverage.
