Description

12-Piece 1/2" Drive Hex Bit Socket Set

Brief Overview

This 12-piece hex bit socket set delivers reliable performance for fastening and assembly work across automotive, maintenance, and industrial applications. The set combines durable Chrome Vanadium and S2 steel construction with practical short-length design, making it ideal for confined spaces and precision work. For shops requiring expanded coverage, consider pairing this with a larger 30-piece hex socket set or complementary bit socket options to maximize your toolkit versatility.

Key Features

  • Material: Chrome Vanadium and S2 steel, hardened and tempered for durability
  • Design: Extra-short hex sockets with knurled grip for secure, slip-free operation
  • Size Range: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22mm
  • Drive: 1/2" square drive compatible with standard ratchets and power tools
  • Packaging: Organized in molded hard plastic carrying case with labeled compartments
  • Legibility: White-stamped size markings on each socket body for quick identification

Why This Set Works for Your Customers

Practical Coverage: The 5–22mm range covers the majority of common fastener sizes in automotive assembly, equipment maintenance, and light industrial work. The extra-short profile reaches into tight engine bays, bracket assemblies, and confined spaces where standard-length sockets cannot.

Durability and Cost: Chrome Vanadium with S2 hardening resists deformation and extends socket life, reducing replacement frequency and protecting your margin. These sockets withstand repeated ratchet use without cam-out or rounding.

Professional Presentation: The molded hard plastic case projects quality, supports retail display, and reduces inventory loss—customers retain the case, not scattered sockets in a toolbox.

Quick Turnover: This is a foundational set for any shop, garage, or maintenance operation. Mechanics buy this early in their career or as a replacement—predictable, repeating demand.
