1/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket
Brief Overview
This 1/4-inch drive 6-point long hand socket is engineered for mechanics, technicians, and assembly professionals who require reliable fastening accuracy across a wide range of hex bolt and screw sizes. The extended length design provides superior reach into recessed or hard-to-access fastening points, making it indispensable for precision work where standard sockets fall short. Available in a select range from 4mm to 14mm, these sockets pair effectively with ratchets, torque wrenches, and hand drivers. For comprehensive coverage across your shop, consider pairing this with metric socket sets to build a complete fastening toolkit.
Key Features
- 6-Point Internal Design: Distributes load evenly across hex fasteners, minimizing cam-out and rounding damage—critical for protecting soft metals and precision fasteners.
- Extended Length Profile: Reaches into recessed bolt heads, threaded holes, and assembly cavities where standard sockets cannot access.
- Knurled Grip Band: Machined grip zone prevents hand slippage during high-torque or awkward-angle work.
- 1/4-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with all standard 1/4-inch ratchets, torque wrenches, and hand-drive tools.
- Chamfered Edges: Smooth entry into fastener recesses reduces installation time and fastener damage.
- Stamped Identification: Embossed size markings ensure quick tool identification on crowded benches.

Business Advantages for Resellers
- Essential Inventory Item: 1/4-inch sockets represent core fastening demand. This extended-length variant captures the precision assembly segment—higher margin than basic sockets.
- Versatile Application Base: Technicians stock 1/4-inch drives across automotive, HVAC, appliance assembly, and light machinery sectors. Multiple stock SKUs = repeat ordering.
- Durability Profile: 6-point design reduces fastener damage claims, building customer loyalty and reducing warranty exposure.
- Bulk Order Economics: Individual sizes support tiered kitting strategies—bundle by industry (e.g., electronics assembly kits, automotive fastening packs) for higher per-unit margins.
Ideal Applications
- Precision Assembly: Electronics, small machinery, and instrument assembly where fastener damage must be eliminated.
- Automotive Detail Work: Recessed bolt access on engine blocks, transmission housings, and suspension components.
- Appliance Service: Compact spaces in washers, dryers, and refrigeration units requiring extended reach.
- Maintenance & Repair: Industrial equipment with threaded cavities or sunken fastener points.
