1/4-Inch Drive Imperial Short Hand Socket Set, 12-Piece with Knurled Grip

Brief Overview

This 12-piece short hand socket set delivers precision and organization to any professional shop. Built with 12-point internal profiles for secure engagement and chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance, these sockets handle imperial fasteners from the smallest sizes up through your most common hand-drive applications. The included metal clip rail keeps all pieces visible and accessible—no hunting through drawers. Whether you're stocking a new technician's toolkit or maintaining distributed shop inventory, this set provides essential coverage. For shops needing metric-sized individual metric sockets or preferring 6-point profile sockets for certain applications, those options are available as complementary inventory.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile – Double-hex design reduces cam-out risk and increases engagement surface with fastener heads
• Chrome-Plated Finish – Corrosion-resistant coating extends tool life in humid workshop environments
• Knurled Grip Bands – Textured mid-section improves handling and prevents accidental dropping during precision work
• Short (Hand) Length – Compact profile ideal for confined spaces and tight bolt access
• Organized Metal Rail – Spring-clip mounting system keeps all sockets indexed and visible; includes hanging hole for wall storage
• Stamped Size Markings – Clear identification on each socket body reduces selection errors
• 1/4-Inch Square Drive – Industry-standard drive size for hand ratchets, extensions, and pneumatic impact tools

Why This Set Works for Your Business

Stock Depth & Turnover: A complete imperial short socket set is a foundational item in every active shop. This 12-piece configuration covers the high-frequency sizes, meaning faster inventory rotation and customer satisfaction when a tech reaches for exactly what they need.

Organized Presentation: The included metal rail is a professional touch that resellers can photograph for catalogs and online listings. Customers see the full set at a glance—no loose sockets in a plastic bag. That perception of organization justifies the price point.

Margin-Friendly: Short hand socket sets are high-volume, low-return items. A technician might own three sets (bench, van, personal kit), and shops buy them for new hires and tool replacement. This is repeat business.

Compatibility & Upsell: These 1/4-inch drive sockets pair seamlessly with ratchets, extensions, and universal joints in your existing 1/4" inventory. Stock depth is complementary, not redundant.
