Description

12-Piece 1/2" Drive Hex Bit Socket Set – Dual Length (55mm & 140mm)

Brief Overview

This 12-piece hex bit socket set delivers the precision bit-to-socket interface your shop needs for fastener removal and installation. The dual-length configuration—six standard 55mm sockets paired with six extended 140mm versions—covers both tight-access work and deep-reach applications. Each socket features a knurled grip band for secure handling and engraved size markings for quick identification. The protective molded plastic case keeps all pieces organized and ready for transport between jobs. If you're stocking complementary bit solutions, consider pairing this set with extended-reach hex bit options or multi-bit spline socket alternatives for expanded coverage.

Key Features

  • 12-Piece Assortment: H4, H5, H6, H8, H10, H12 in both 55mm and 140mm lengths
  • Dual-Length Design: Short sockets for confined spaces; extended sockets for deep fastener access
  • Cr-V Construction: Chrome-vanadium alloy resists chipping and delivers reliable torque transfer
  • Knurled Grip Band: Textured surface prevents tool slippage during use
  • Engraved Size Markings: Clear, stamped identification on each socket barrel
  • 1/2" Drive Compatible: Universal fit with all standard 1/2" drive ratchets and power tools
  • Protective Carry Case: Molded plastic case with recessed slots for tool retention and transport

Application Context

This set addresses a critical gap in professional workshops: the need for both compact and extended reach when working with hex fasteners across machinery, assembly work, and maintenance applications. The 55mm sockets handle standard accessible fasteners; the 140mm versions reach countersunk or deeply recessed hex screws without requiring separate extensions. The dual-length approach reduces the need for additional purchase orders while maximizing tool availability per technician.

Why Stock This Set

Distribute with confidence. The Cr-V material and mat finish construction reflect industrial-grade durability. The knurled grip is not decorative—it's functional engineering that reduces hand fatigue and prevents tool-dropping on concrete floors. The organized carry case eliminates the "lost socket" problem that frustrates mechanics and generates service complaints. For your customers, this is a productivity investment that pays for itself on the first complex job requiring deep-reach fastener work.
