24mm 6-Point Short Impact Socket, 1/2-Inch Drive, Cr-Mo Steel
Overview
This 24mm stubby impact socket delivers the durability and precision your shop needs when working in confined spaces where standard sockets simply won't fit. Built from chrome-molybdenum steel and engineered for impact tool use, it maintains the 6-point profile that prevents cam-out on fasteners while the compact 28mm height navigates tight engine bays, frame rails, and suspension assemblies. The integrated retaining pin groove and safety ring ensure the socket stays seated during rapid-fire impact work—a critical feature that prevents costly tool loss and downtime. Complement this socket with other short-reach impact sockets in the 8–36mm range to build a complete confined-space toolkit.
Key Features
- 6-Point Hex Profile: Grips fastener flats for reduced rounding and cam-out, ensuring cleaner disassembly of rusted or stubborn bolts.
- Stubby Design (28mm Height): Purpose-built for ultra-tight clearances—engine compartments, suspension work, and frame-mounted fasteners where depth matters.
- Cr-Mo Steel Construction: Impact-rated material resists cracking and mushrooming under pneumatic hammer shock loads.
- Retaining Pin Safety: Integrated groove and side hole for pin or ball-detent retention—prevents socket ejection during rapid-fire impacts.
- Phosphate Finish: Dark oxide coating resists corrosion and blends with professional tool aesthetics.
- 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, impact guns, and breaker bars.
Business Advantages for Resellers
- High Demand Profile: Stubby sockets command premium margins—mechanics actively seek confined-space solutions and will pay for reliability.
- Bulk Set Opportunity: A-SS151 15-piece set (10–24mm range) available for fleet sales or shop starter kits, driving higher order values.
- Professional Durability: Cr-Mo construction minimizes warranty returns and builds customer loyalty through proven longevity.
- Safety Feature Sells: Retaining pin groove differentiates this socket from cheaper alternatives; market this as "insurance against lost tools."
- Workshop Essential: Every professional shop needs at least one stubby set—recurring stock turnover.
