Business Advantages for Resellers

Margin Opportunity: Large-format sockets command consistent demand in heavy automotive and industrial repair shops. This 70mm variant fills a critical size gap, enabling bundled sales with standard metric or imperial socket sets.

Bulk Order Appeal: Shops stocking heavy equipment maintenance programs require deep inventories of large sockets. Position this as part of professional-grade sets to justify higher order volumes and improve per-unit margins.

Durability Positioning: The precision 6-point design and chrome plating reduce premature wear, giving your customers confidence in longevity—translating to repeat purchases when they eventually upgrade.

Complementary Sales: Cross-sell with standard-depth variants in adjacent sizes to create tiered offerings for different job demands and customer budgets.

Professional Application Context

Ideal for large bolt removal in truck transmission work, excavator assembly, industrial pump maintenance, and heavy machinery service. The substantial 70mm opening handles fasteners that smaller sockets cannot accommodate, making it essential inventory for shops serving commercial transport and construction sectors.


Stock this socket as a core professional tool—it addresses a genuine market need for large fastener work and establishes your catalog credibility with serious repair facilities.
