Application Context
These short hand sockets are purpose-built for assembly work, precision fastening, and confined-space access where a full-length socket would not fit. The 6-point profile excels on metric fasteners common in electronics, small engine repair, and instrument assembly. The knurled grip is engineered for manual control—not for power tool or impact use.
