Description

10MM 1/2" Drive Short Impact Socket, 12-Point, Heavy-Duty CR-MO, 38mm Length

Brief Overview

This 10mm short impact socket is engineered for professional technicians and shop operations requiring reliable fastener engagement under high-torque conditions. The 12-point design provides superior gripping power compared to standard 6-point alternatives, making it ideal for impact wrench work in tight spaces. Complement this socket with additional metric sizes in the same 12-point configuration to build a complete impact socket set that matches professional shop standards.

Key Features

  • 12-Point Internal Drive: Superior contact geometry reduces fastener rounding and cam-out during impact operations
  • CR-MO Construction: Chrome-molybdenum alloy steel delivers impact resistance and durability under repeated high-torque cycling
  • Compact 38mm Length: Short form factor enables access in confined spaces—engine bays, suspension work, and tight fastener locations
  • 1/2" Drive Shank: Standard square drive compatible with all 1/2" drive impact wrenches and air ratchets
  • Side Retaining Pin: Cross-hole design secures the socket to the drive stem, preventing accidental separation during operation
  • Matte Black Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface treatment ensures longevity in workshop and automotive environments
  • Precision Machining: Close tolerances (D1 17mm, wall thickness 6mm) guarantee consistent fit and minimal play

Business Advantages for Resellers

This socket addresses a core need in professional automotive and industrial shops. The 12-point configuration commands a performance premium over 6-point competitors—mechanics choose 12-point sockets to minimize fastener damage and reduce warranty callbacks. The CR-MO material and compact geometry make it indispensable for technicians working on modern engines and transmission assemblies where space is critical. Stock this size alongside complementary 11mm and 9mm 12-point short impact sockets to offer customers a complete metric range.
