Description

12-Point 3/4-Inch Drive Impact Socket, 32mm, Chrome-Molybdenum

Brief Overview

This is a heavy-duty impact socket engineered for use with 3/4-inch pneumatic impact wrenches and breaker bars. The 12-point (double-hex) internal geometry provides multiple contact angles, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque applications. Built from chrome-molybdenum steel with a matte black impact-grade coating, this socket is designed to withstand the shock loads and vibration inherent in impact tool use. If you're stocking impact socket sets, consider pairing this 32mm socket with complementary 30mm and 34mm sizes to cover the most common fastener applications across automotive and heavy equipment service.

Key Features

  • 12-Point (Double-Hex) Drive: Multiple contact points reduce fastener rounding and cam-out, particularly valuable for work on worn or damaged fasteners.
  • 3/4-Inch Square Drive: Fits all standard 3/4" pneumatic impact wrenches, breaker bars, and power tools.
  • Chrome-Molybdenum Construction: Superior toughness and fatigue resistance compared to standard alloy steel.
  • Impact-Grade Finish: Matte black coating resists corrosion and provides visual durability marking for professional shops.
  • Retaining Ball Groove: Integrated detent feature securely holds the socket on the drive square during use, reducing tool drops and improving workflow efficiency.
  • Compact Design: 57mm overall length (L) with a 32mm hex size (d1 = 49mm, d2 = 44mm) balances reach and maneuverability in tight engine bays and equipment frames.
  • Stepped Grip Ring: Annular gripping feature aids extraction and positioning, especially with gloved hands.

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

  • High Turnover Category: Impact sockets are fast-moving consumables in professional shops. Individual size sales drive frequent reorders.
  • Margin-Friendly: Competitive cost per unit supports healthy resale margins while remaining attractive to cost-conscious service departments.
  • Durability Justifies Price: Chrome-molybdenum construction means fewer returns and customer complaints compared to budget alternatives.
  • Core Size: 32mm is a workhorse fastener size in automotive (suspension components, transmission fasteners) and heavy equipment service, ensuring consistent demand.
  • Professional Positioning: White-label opportunity to build a complete impact socket line without inventory complexity.
