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

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive long hand socket delivers precision engagement and extended reach for detailed mechanical work, assembly tasks, and applications where standard shallow sockets fall short. The extended length design minimizes hand interference in tight spaces while the 6-point internal geometry provides secure engagement without rounding fastener corners. Available across a complete 4–14mm size range, these sockets integrate seamlessly with existing metric socket sets and are engineered for professional mechanics and precision technicians who demand reliability over repeated cycles.

Key Features

• 1/4-Inch Square Drive: Standard drive recess compatible with all 1/4" drive ratchets, extensions, and power tools
• 6-Point Internal Design: Hex-shaped recess maximizes contact with fastener flats, reducing cam-out and rounding risk on critical assembly work
• Extended Length: Approximately 50mm overall depth accommodates longer fasteners and tight-access scenarios where shallow sockets cannot reach
• Metric Sizing: Comprehensive 4–14mm range covers fasteners from electronics assembly to standard automotive fasteners
• Chrome/Satin Finish: Durable metallic finish resists corrosion and maintains appearance through regular shop use
• Knurled Grip Band: Machined grip zone around the middle body enhances handling control, particularly useful when working without a ratchet
• Chamfered Edges: Protective bevels at drive and recess openings reduce wear during insertion and removal

Business Advantages

• Professional Turnover: Long-format sockets command a distinct margin from shallow socket equivalents; resellers can position these as premium precision tools
• Complementary Positioning: Stock alongside standard socket sets to increase average transaction value—customers who buy precision sockets typically purchase multiple sizes
• Repeat Orders: Mechanics and assembly technicians reorder by size as wear occurs; build predictable recurring revenue by stocking complete ranges
• Shop Efficiency: Reduced need for extensions and adapters means faster tool changeovers and fewer damaged fasteners—a direct value proposition for your customer base

Application Context

Long hand sockets excel in scenarios where fastener depth or surrounding geometry demands extended reach:

• Precision Assembly: Electronics, instrumentation, and mechanical subassemblies where hand control and visibility matter
• Engine Work: Access to recessed fasteners in cylinder head covers, valve covers, and intake manifolds
• Tight Spaces: Working inside enclosures, around structural ribs, or adjacent to other components
• Quality Control: Extended geometry reduces accidental tool slip and fastener damage during critical assembly phases

Value Proposition for Your Customers

Mechanics and technicians purchase long sockets when standard sets prove insufficient. Position these as problem-solving tools that prevent job delays and fastener damage. A technician facing a recessed fastener has three choices: buy the right socket, improvise with extensions (slower, riskier), or delay the job. The choice is clear—and your margin reflects that necessity.
