1/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Short Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive short hand socket set delivers precision fastening for electronics assembly, instrument work, and applications requiring access to tight spaces. The 6-point design prevents rounding of fastener heads while the knurled grip band ensures confident handling in repetitive assembly tasks. Available in 14 sizes from 4mm to 14mm, these sockets are engineered for professional technicians who demand accuracy without compromises. For broader coverage, consider pairing with complementary socket sizes to round out your assembly kit.

Key Features

• 6-Point Design: Grips fastener heads securely, eliminating the rounding damage that plagues 12-point designs in precision work
• Knurled Grip Band: Mid-section knurling provides tactile feedback and secure handling during repetitive assembly operations
• Short Socket Profile: Compact length (25mm overall) ideal for confined spaces and tight assembly environments
• 1/4-Inch Drive Compatible: Works seamlessly with standard 1/4-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and impact tools
• Matte Chrome Finish: Durable plating resists corrosion and wear; professional appearance maintained through heavy use
• Chamfered Edges: Internal bevels prevent damage to fastener heads during insertion and removal

Why Resellers Stock This Socket Set

High-Volume Repeatability: Electronics manufacturers, precision assembly shops, and instrument makers consume these sockets in quantity. The complete 4mm–14mm range covers 95% of common fastener sizes in microelectronics and sensor assembly, making this an essential replenishment order.

Margin Protection: The robust 6-point design and short profile reduce fastener damage callbacks and customer complaints. Your buyers replace fewer damaged bolts and achieve faster turnaround on assembly—translating to customer satisfaction and repeat business.

Professional Credibility: Stocking precision sockets signals to your customer base that you understand their constraints. This builds trust with OEM suppliers and assembly facilities that rely on consistent, accurate tooling.

Real-World Application Context

Electronics & Precision Assembly: Technicians assembling circuit boards, sensor modules, and control panels rely on sockets that won't slip or round fastener heads. The 6-point geometry and short profile make these the standard choice.

Instrument Service Centers: Field technicians working on calibration equipment, measurement instruments, and laboratory apparatus need compact, reliable sockets that fit confined spaces without compromising grip.

Microelectronics Manufacturing: Production lines handling small fasteners demand consistency; the knurled band reduces hand fatigue during high-volume socket changes, boosting productivity.

Value Proposition for Your Customers

Your end-user—whether an assembly technician, service center, or OEM supplier—avoids the frustration of cam-out and rounding. The 6-point design locks onto fastener heads with certainty, reducing scrap and rework. Short length means access where longer sockets fail. The knurled grip ensures confident handling shift after shift, lowering fatigue-related errors.
