12-Point Impact Socket, 3/4-Inch Drive, 38mm

Brief Overview

Built for pneumatic impact wrenches and guns, this 38mm 12-point impact socket delivers the durability and precision your shop needs for heavy fastener work. The 12-point design distributes load evenly across fastener corners, reducing cam-out and fastener rounding—critical for repetitive industrial use. Whether you're servicing truck hubs, suspension components, or transmission housings, this socket integrates seamlessly into professional tool kits. Stock this size alongside smaller 27mm impact sockets and larger 46mm variants to cover the full range of fastener applications your customers encounter.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile: Double-hex design minimizes contact stress and reduces fastener damage compared to 6-point alternatives
• 3/4-Inch Square Drive: Fits standard 3/4" pneumatic impact wrenches and ratchets
• Impact-Rated Construction: Engineered for air-powered tools with reinforced walls to absorb shock without cracking
• Phosphate/Black-Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating protects against shop moisture and salt spray
• Locking Pin Groove: Precision-machined detent hole secures socket to drive with retaining ring (prevents accidental separation under load)
• Short, Compact Design: 57mm overall length fits tight spaces without extending far from the wrench head

Business Advantages for Resellers

This socket fills a critical gap in the 3/4-inch impact tool ecosystem. At 38mm, it addresses fasteners on heavy trucks, agricultural equipment, and industrial machinery—markets with predictable, recurring demand. The 12-point profile outperforms 6-point sockets on modern fasteners with more contact points, reducing warranty claims and customer callbacks. Professional mechanics prefer impact sockets for pneumatic work because they're engineered for sudden torque spikes; your customers will choose this over general-purpose sockets.

Stock depth matters: offer this 38mm size alongside complementary sizes (27mm through 55mm) to position your business as a full-line impact socket supplier. This increases basket size and customer loyalty.

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

Impact tools dominate professional shops because they reduce labor time on stubborn fasteners. This 38mm socket is sized for medium-to-heavy fastening tasks—the sweet spot for truck service, transmission work, and industrial maintenance.
