Description

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

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive 6-point long hand socket delivers extended reach for working in tight, confined spaces where standard shallow sockets fall short. The elongated barrel design—50mm in length—provides clearance for fasteners recessed in component cavities, making it essential for precision assembly, electronics work, and detailed mechanical applications. Built with a chrome-plated finish and featuring a knurled grip ring for secure hand control, this socket performs reliably across applications requiring both accuracy and accessibility. For additional flexibility, consider complementary precision socket sets to expand your tool coverage.

Key Features

  • Extended Length Design: 50mm barrel length accommodates recessed fasteners and tight working environments
  • 6-Point Profile: Reduces cam-out risk compared to 12-point alternatives; maintains fastener contact integrity
  • Knurled Grip Ring: Provides positive hand purchase for controlled turning without slipping
  • Chrome Finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant coating for long service life
  • Wide Size Range: 11 sizes from 4mm to 14mm in a single drive class—comprehensive coverage for most precision work
  • 1/4-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/4" ratchets, extensions, and hand tools

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High Turnover Potential: The extended-length design addresses a specific market need often underserved by standard socket sets, creating demand from professional shops and maintenance technicians
  • Bulk Order Appeal: Complete size ranges (4–14mm) encourage full-set purchases, improving per-unit margins
  • Precision Market Position: Position these sockets to electronics repair, aerospace component assembly, and automotive detail work—margin-conscious professional segments
  • Inventory Efficiency: Single product line covers 11 SKUs with consistent specifications, simplifying stock management and forecasting
  • Accessory Cross-Selling: Pair with individual socket sizes to support customer replacement purchases and incremental orders

Application Context

These sockets are designed for applications where the fastener sits deep within a component or housing:

  • Precision Assembly: Electronics repair, instrument calibration, and fine mechanical work
  • Automotive Detail Work: Sensor removal, brake caliper hardware, and engine bay fasteners in confined areas
  • Maintenance & Service: HVAC component assembly, electrical panel work, and equipment calibration
  • Aerospace & Industrial: Component-level assembly where access is limited but precision is non-negotiable

Value Statement

The 1/4-inch 6-point long hand socket bridges the gap between standard socket sets and specialized access tools. Its extended length and comprehensive size range position it as an essential addition to any professional shop's precision toolkit, with strong resale potential in maintenance, assembly, and electronics sectors.
