1/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Short Hand Socket, 4mm to 14mm
Overview
These 1/4-inch drive short hand sockets deliver the precision and durability your shop needs for compact work in tight spaces. With six-point geometry and a satin-chrome finish, they're engineered for consistent, reliable engagement on hex fasteners from 4mm to 14mm. The knurled grip band ensures confident handling, while the short length makes them ideal for detail work and confined assembly areas. Whether you're stocking individual sizes or building a complete short socket set, these tools represent solid margin and fast inventory turnover.
Key Features
- 6-Point Internal Geometry – Maximizes contact with fastener flats; reduces cam-out and rounding risk compared to 12-point designs
- Short Profile – Compact length (25mm) ideal for precision work and restricted access applications
- Satin-Chrome Finish – Durable protective coating resists corrosion and maintains appearance under workshop conditions
- Knurled Grip Band – Mid-body texture provides secure, non-slip handling
- Chamfered Entry – Slightly beveled hex opening eases fastener insertion and reduces edge stress
- 14-Size Range – Individual sizes from 4mm to 14mm enable precise stocking and customer choice
Why This Product Works for Your Business
Margin & Turnover:
Short hand sockets move consistently because they're essential for any professional shop. The 6-point design appeals to quality-conscious mechanics who reject 12-point tools. Stock depth encourages repeat purchases and upsells.
Customer Confidence:
A clean, satin-chrome finish signals durability. The knurled grip and chamfered edges show attention to detail—qualities that justify professional pricing and build brand loyalty.
Inventory Efficiency:
At 25mm length, these pack efficiently and display attractively. The 14-size breadth covers fasteners on automotive, industrial, and precision assembly applications.

Stocking Recommendation
Offer both individual sizes and bundled sets. The 4mm–8mm range serves fine detail work; 9mm–14mm covers broader industrial fasteners. Consider pairing with complementary deep sockets to maximize customer spend and tool versatility.
Stock these as core inventory. Short 6-point sockets are non-negotiable for any professional distributor serving automotive, industrial, and precision assembly markets.
