12-Point 3/4-Inch Drive Impact Socket, 27mm, Short-Deep Length
Brief Overview
This is a professional-grade impact socket engineered for high-torque pneumatic applications. The 12-point double-hex design reduces fastener cam-out and rounding compared to 6-point alternatives, while the short-deep profile balances accessibility with sufficient depth for recessed fasteners. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with impact-hardened finish, this socket is designed to withstand repeated shock loads from air impact wrenches without cracking or chipping. It pairs seamlessly with 3/4-inch drive tools and integrates into complete socket systems—consider pairing with additional 27mm impact sockets or complementary 30mm and 32mm impact sockets to build a comprehensive fastener coverage strategy for your shop.
Key Features
- 12-Point Double-Hex Recess: Maximizes contact points on fastener heads, minimizing slippage and rounding under impact conditions
- CR-MO Steel Construction: Chromium-molybdenum alloy provides superior toughness and fatigue resistance in high-energy applications
- Impact-Grade Black Finish: Durable coating protects against corrosion and identifies socket as impact-rated (vs. standard hand-tool sockets)
- 3/4-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with 3/4" drive air impact wrenches, breakers, and torque multipliers
- Retention Pin Groove: Integral detent feature ensures socket stays secured on drive shaft during operation
- Short-Deep Profile: Optimized length-to-depth ratio for confined spaces without sacrificing fastener seating depth
- Chamfered Top Edge: Reduces wear on socket rim and facilitates easier fastener alignment under power
Business Advantages for Resellers
- Essential Inventory Item: Impact sockets are consumable-adjacent consumables in any professional shop—high turnover, predictable demand
- Bulk Order Economics: Unit cost drops significantly on larger quantities; margin opportunity on volume sales to automotive shops, fleet maintenance, and industrial facilities
- System Builder Potential: Customers who purchase one size typically buy complementary sizes (24mm, 30mm, 32mm, etc.)—this product is an entry point to multi-socket orders
- Competitive Positioning: CR-MO impact sockets are a staple stock item that positions your company as a serious tool supplier, not a secondary source
- Professional Credibility: Offering impact-rated sockets signals your catalog includes properly engineered, standards-compliant tools
