Why Professionals Choose This Socket

The 1/4-inch drive and long hand design make this socket ideal for precision work where space is tight and fastener security is non-negotiable. The 6-point profile excels on vintage or delicate fasteners where 12-point sockets risk damage. Mechanics appreciate the knurled grip band for handling without gloves, and the extended 50mm length opens access to fasteners deep in assemblies.

Resale Value Proposition

Stock individual sizes or encourage customers to purchase specific sizes they're missing to complete their kit. The 4–14mm range covers approximately 80% of common metric fastening work in this drive class, making it a natural upsell to ratchet and wrench customers. Position this as a professional-grade alternative to budget imports and establish your shop as a trusted source for precision hand tools.
