1/2" Drive Impact Torx Socket – T60

Brief Overview

This is a heavy-duty impact Torx socket engineered for high-torque applications in professional automotive and industrial environments. Built from impact-grade CR-MO steel with black oxide finish, it delivers consistent performance in fastening operations that demand precision and reliability. The T60 size handles maximum torque loads up to 444.92 Nm, making it suitable for critical assembly work. Whether you're stocking a single size or building a complete set, this socket integrates seamlessly with standard 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. For shops requiring a broader selection, consider complementary tools like Torx impact sockets in smaller sizes or a complete 6-piece Torx socket set for inventory flexibility.

Key Features

• CR-MO Steel Construction: Impact-rated material engineered to withstand repetitive high-torque cycles without fracturing or deforming
• Black Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface that maintains tool integrity in shop environments and extended storage
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with pneumatic and manual 1/2" drive impact tools
• Snap-Ring Retaining System: Ball-bearing socket design prevents accidental disconnection during operation
• Precision Torx Geometry: Six-lobed profile minimizes cam-out risk and distributes load evenly across fastener faces
• Compact 78mm Overall Length: Balanced design reduces user fatigue while maintaining access in confined spaces

Business Advantages for Resellers

High Margin Opportunity: Impact Torx sockets command strong wholesale pricing while maintaining excellent resale velocity. The T60 size sits in the sweet spot of demand—large enough for heavy industrial applications, yet compact enough for precision automotive work.

Inventory Efficiency: Stock this size as a standalone product or bundle it with complementary Torx sizes (T30, T35, T40, T45, T50, T55, T70, T80). The modular approach allows you to meet varying customer requirements without overcommitting capital to slow-moving inventory.

Professional Credibility: Offering impact-rated, CR-MO sockets positions your shop as a supplier of reliable professional tools. This translates to customer confidence and repeat orders, especially among fleet maintenance facilities and independent repair shops.

Cross-Sell Ready: The Torx socket category pairs naturally with 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches, pneumatic tools, and hex bit socket alternatives, expanding transaction value per customer visit.

Ideal Applications

• Automotive Assembly & Disassembly: Engine bay fasteners, transmission work, and precision mechanical assembly
• Heavy Equipment Maintenance: Torque-critical fastening on industrial machinery and fleet vehicles
• Electronics & Precision Manufacturing: Tamper-resistant Torx fasteners on consumer electronics and industrial assemblies
• Pneumatic Tool Integration: Direct compatibility with impact wrenches in high-volume production environments

Why This Socket Matters

The T60 Torx size represents a critical capacity threshold. At 444.92 Nm, it bridges light-duty fastening (T50 at 148.86 Nm) and heavy industrial work (T70 at 700.21 Nm). This makes it the go-to choice for shops handling mixed workloads without requiring excessive tool inventory duplication.

The snap-ring retaining system is a professional-grade feature—it eliminates socket loss on impact tools, reducing customer downtime and replacement costs. Combined with the precision Torx geometry, this socket minimizes fastener damage, which directly translates to fewer warranty claims and higher customer satisfaction.

Stock Confidence

This is a workhorse size with proven demand across automotive, industrial maintenance, and OEM assembly operations. The CR-MO construction ensures long service life, supporting repeat business and customer loyalty.
