Description

10-Piece 3/8" and 1/2" Drive Low-Profile Metric Hex Bit Socket Set

Brief Overview

This dual-drive hex bit socket set delivers precision fastening in confined spaces where standard sockets won't fit. The low-profile design reduces stack height while maintaining structural rigidity—a critical advantage for mechanics working in tight engine bays, transmission housings, and component assemblies. The metal rail storage system keeps inventory organized and ready for immediate deployment. If you stock multiple bit profiles, complement this set with expanded metric and SAE hex socket options to cover your full range of applications.

Key Features

  • Dual Drive Compatibility: 3/8" drive (9 sockets) and 1/2" drive (1 socket, 17mm)
  • Low-Profile Design: 28–32mm height (3/8" drive), 40mm height (1/2" drive) for access to recessed fasteners
  • Metric Sizing: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14mm (3/8" drive); 17mm (1/2" drive)
  • Chrome Vanadium Construction: Durable Cr-V alloy resists deformation and extends tool lifespan
  • Metal Rail Organization: Integrated metal rail with retention clips ensures proper tool placement and reduces workplace clutter
  • Stamped Identification: Each socket is clearly marked for quick size identification

Business Advantages

High-Margin Add-On Sales: Resellers can position this set as a specialty solution for precision work—justifying premium positioning versus standard socket assortments.

Compact Footprint: The metal rail mounting system fits standard pegboard layouts and mobile workstation setups, reducing overhead storage costs.

Professional Specification: Automotive and industrial shops consistently request low-profile hex sockets for engine work and transmission service—this set directly addresses proven demand.

Inventory Control: The metal rail eliminates lost or misplaced sockets, improving customer retention and reducing replacement warranty claims.

Value Proposition for Your Customers

Mechanics and technicians ordering this set will immediately recognize the advantage: low-profile sockets eliminate the need to remove surrounding components or disassemble assemblies just to access fasteners. The dual-drive configuration covers common metric fastener sizes across both 3/8" and 1/2" tool platforms. Chrome vanadium durability ensures the set survives years of field use without cam-out or deformation—a critical factor for professional shops that measure tool cost per use.
