Description

11mm 1/4-Inch Drive Deep Metric Socket, 12-Point Cr-V, 50mm Length

Brief Overview

This is a dedicated 11mm metric socket built for 1/4-inch drive ratchets and hand tools. The 50mm depth positions the fastener well below surrounding obstructions—ideal for recessed bolts, sunken nuts, and confined spaces common in automotive and light industrial assembly. The 12-point profile minimizes contact stress on hex fasteners, reducing the risk of corner rounding.

Complement this with additional metric sizes in the same 12-point series or impact-rated alternatives for pneumatic impact applications as your shop inventory demands.

Key Features

  • Size: 11mm metric socket (fits M11 fasteners)
  • Drive: 1/4-inch female square drive (compatible with 1/4" ratchets, hand wrenches, flex bars)
  • Depth: 50mm deep socket for access to recessed fasteners and sunken hardware
  • Internal Profile: 12-point double-hex design—spreads load across more contact points than 6-point, reducing fastener wear
  • Material: Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel—reliable hardness and corrosion resistance for general workshop use
  • Finish: Matte polished chrome—professional appearance with modest corrosion protection
  • Grip: Knurled band near drive end for secure hand control and easy extraction
  • Length: Precisely 50mm—balances reach with usable clearance in tight engine bays and assembly fixtures

Why This Socket Matters to Your Business

Stock Completeness: The 11mm size fills a critical gap in metric fastener coverage. Most technicians work with M6–M14 bolts daily; missing the 11mm size forces awkward workarounds or repeated customer callbacks.

Durability & Repeat Sales: Cr-V construction withstands years of shop use. Unlike softer alloys, it resists mushrooming on the drive end and maintains its 12-point geometry, reducing customer complaints and warranty claims.

Margin Opportunity: Deep sockets carry a modest price premium over shallow variants because of extended material cost and manufacturing precision. At minimal additional cost to stock, they justify higher retail margins.

Cross-Sell Potential: Customers who purchase one deep socket often need others. Bundle this 11mm with the 6mm and 12mm sizes in the same series to increase order value.

  • Light Industrial: Machine assembly, fixture fastening, precision equipment maintenance
  • Confined Spaces: Ideal where the bolt sits well below the surrounding surface
  • Hand Tool Use: Safe for manual ratchets and breaker bars; not rated for impact tools (use impact-rated alternatives for pneumatic or electric impact wrenches)

Closing Statement

This 11mm socket is a no-nonsense addition to any professional tool kit. Its 50mm depth and 12-point profile solve real problems on modern vehicles and industrial equipment. Stock it as part of a complete metric deep socket set to boost customer satisfaction and justify premium pricing.
