1/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket, 4–14mm

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive, 6-point long hand socket is engineered for precision fastening work across automotive, machinery assembly, and maintenance applications. The extended length design provides superior reach into confined spaces without requiring extension bars, while the 6-point geometry delivers reliable contact with hex fasteners and minimizes rounding. The knurled grip band ensures confident handling, even in high-volume shop environments. Available in a full range of complementary socket sizes to cover virtually every fastener dimension your team will encounter.

Key Features

• 6-Point Design: Maximizes contact with fastener flats, reducing cam-out and fastener deformation
• Extended Length Profile: Reaches recessed or deeply positioned fasteners without additional extensions
• Knurled Grip Band: Molded for secure handling and reduced fatigue during repetitive turning
• Satin Chrome Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface treatment suitable for mixed shop conditions
• Precision-Machined Construction: Tight tolerances ensure consistent fit and repeatable performance
• 1/4-Inch Drive Compatibility: Works seamlessly with standard quick-release ratchets and extensions

Business Advantages for Resellers

Margin Opportunity: This is a core consumable fastener-access tool with steady demand in any professional shop. Stock depth in 4–14mm sizes captures high-volume turnover on common fasteners (5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm).

Bundle Potential: These sockets pair naturally with ratchet sets, extension bars, and universal joints—create attractive "starter sets" or "technician kits" at tiered price points.

Minimal Return Rate: 6-point design is forgiving with modern fasteners; long profile eliminates the need for extensions, reducing assembly complexity and complaint calls.

Distributor Advantage: Stock rotation is predictable. These tools don't become obsolete; they're replaced only after years of hard use.

Why This Socket Wins in Real-World Use

The 6-point geometry is decisive when working with metric fasteners on modern vehicles and equipment. Unlike 12-point sockets, you'll see far fewer stripped fasteners and frustrated technicians. The long profile design eliminates the reach-extension problem that plagues shorter sockets on compact engines and tight assembly areas. This is precision tooling that pays for itself through reduced comebacks and customer satisfaction.
