Description

1-Inch Hand Socket, 6-Point, 55mm Deep-Well Design

Brief Overview

This 55mm 6-point hand socket is engineered for professional mechanics and industrial technicians who need reliable, repeatable fastening performance on large fasteners. The deep-well geometry accommodates longer bolt configurations while the hexagonal internal profile delivers secure engagement with minimal cam-out risk. Part of a comprehensive socket range from 36mm to 80mm that covers virtually every fastener size you'll encounter on the job site.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Internal Profile: Six flat contact surfaces minimize rounding and cam-out on worn or difficult fasteners
  • Deep-Well Geometry: Extended length (80mm) positions your hand farther from the work, reducing knuckle contact with surrounding components
  • 1-Inch Square Drive: Direct compatibility with standard 1-inch ratchets, breaker bars, and impact tools
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Durable protective coating resists corrosion and facilitates easy cleaning between jobs
  • Precision Machined Construction: Tight tolerances ensure consistent fit across your entire tool inventory
  • Stamped Size Markings: Clear identification reduces time spent identifying socket sizes on busy work benches

Why This Matters for Your Business

Stock Depth & Customer Satisfaction: The 55mm size sits in the middle of the working range—large enough for HD truck work, industrial bolting, and manufacturing assembly, yet compact enough for regular automotive applications. This is one of your highest-turnover sizes.

Bulk Order Economics: Offering this socket alongside complementary 50mm and 60mm variants allows you to build complete socket sets that sell faster than single units. Bundle pricing drives margin and reduces shelf time.

Professional Confidence: Mechanics recognize 6-point sockets as the premium choice for serious work. Positioning this alongside your standard 12-point offerings creates a clear tier system that justifies pricing and moves inventory faster.
