Description

12-Piece 5-Point Star Bit Socket Set

Brief Overview

This 12-piece 5-point star bit socket set delivers essential coverage across 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drives, making it a practical addition to any professional toolkit. The non-tamper design ensures compatibility with standard star-point fasteners across automotive, electronics, and industrial applications. For shops requiring expanded options, consider pairing this set with a longer-reach star bit solution or a comprehensive security bit collection to cover edge cases.

Key Features

  • Three Drive Sizes: 1/4" (7 sockets), 3/8" (4 sockets), 1/2" (1 socket)
  • 5-Point Non-Tamper Design: Standard Torx-style profile without center pin, compatible with conventional fasteners
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant socket bodies
  • Knurled Grip Bands: Improves handler control and reduces slip during operation
  • Molded Storage Case: Secure cutouts for each socket prevent loss and aid organization
  • Stamped Size Markings: Clear identification on barrel for quick socket selection

Why This Set Works for Resellers

Stock Efficiency: The 12-piece configuration covers the most-requested star bit sizes without oversizing inventory. The three-drive distribution (7-4-1) reflects real-world demand patterns, making this set easier to move than oversized alternatives.

Margin-Friendly Format: Pre-packaged in a branded case, this set commands stronger retail margins than loose socket assortments. Customers perceive value in the presentation, justifying higher resale pricing.

Complementary Sales: Position this entry-level star bit set alongside security-bit variants and tamper-proof alternatives to upsell shops upgrading their tool inventory.

Repeat Purchases: The non-tamper profile ensures broad compatibility, but shops will eventually need specialty variants—creating natural follow-up sales opportunities.

The 3/8" extension provides mid-range coverage for automotive work, while the single 1/2" socket addresses occasional larger applications.

Best For:

  • Electronics and precision assembly shops
  • General automotive maintenance (non-security applications)
  • Tool rental operations
  • Technician starter kits

Value Proposition for Bulk Orders

Distributors can source this set at volume discounts, repackage under private labels, and position it as an entry-level professional offering. The molded case adds perceived value without significant cost, and the straightforward non-tamper design eliminates customer confusion. This is a workhorse set—not flashy, but consistently sellable to shops building out their socket inventory.
