1/4-Inch Drive 12-Point Long Hand Socket, 4–14mm Sizes
Professional-Grade Socket Set for Precision Work
This 1/4-inch drive long hand socket delivers reliable performance for precision fastening tasks across automotive, electronics assembly, and light mechanical work. The 12-point double-hex profile engages fastener flats with excellent contact geometry, reducing cam-out risk compared to conventional drives. Its extended length provides superior reach into recessed or hard-to-access fastener locations—a critical advantage for assembly work where standard-depth sockets fall short.
The knurled grip band molded into the barrel prevents accidental slips during hand operation, improving both safety and control when working in tight spaces or elevated work stations. The matte chrome finish offers corrosion resistance suitable for workshop environments, while the smooth cylindrical body design ensures compatibility with all standard 1/4-inch drive ratchets and extensions.
Available in 14 individual sizes: 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, and 14mm.
Consider pairing this with 6-point long sockets for maximum fastener coverage across your shop's socket inventory.
Key Features
- 12-Point Internal Profile: Double-hex geometry reduces fastener rounding and cam-out risk; ideal for worn or damaged fastener corners
- Extended Length Design: Reaches deep-set fasteners and fasteners in recessed cavities
- Knurled Grip Band: Mid-barrel knurling prevents hand slips during manual operation
- Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface for extended tool life
- 1/4-Inch Drive Standard: Full compatibility with industry-standard 1/4-inch drive tools, ratchets, and extensions
- Precise Manufacturing: Metric sizing across full 4–14mm range with tight tolerances
Business Advantages for Resellers
- Broad Size Coverage: 14 individual sizes in a single product line means customers purchase complete sets rather than scattered single sockets
- Professional Positioning: 12-point sockets command higher margins than 6-point alternatives; position as "precision assembly tools" for automotive and electronics segments
- Recurring Orders: Mechanics and assembly shops stock multiples for different bays and workstations—excellent repeat business potential
- Low Return Rates: Long-format sockets have minimal fragility; chrome plating resists wear, reducing warranty claims
- Cross-Sell Opportunity: Pair with matching 3/8-inch drive 12-point long sockets to capture complete socket set orders from professional shops
