Description

3/4" Drive 12-Point Short Impact Socket, 24mm

Brief Overview

This 24mm impact socket delivers the durability required for high-torque pneumatic and electric impact applications. The 12-point internal profile provides multiple gripping angles, making it ideal for situations where fastener access or angle matters. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel and finished with black oxide coating, it meets the material standards expected in professional workshops. If you stock 6-point short impact sockets for general work, this 12-point variant fills a critical niche for specialized fastening challenges.

Key Features

  • 12-Point Double-Hex Profile: Eight contact points per hex position reduce fastener rounding and enable operation at multiple angles—essential when space or bolt positioning limits socket placement
  • CR-MO Steel Construction: Chromium-molybdenum alloy provides superior impact resistance and fatigue strength compared to standard steel
  • Short Design: At 51mm length, optimized for confined spaces where standard sockets won't fit; thick walls maintain structural integrity under impact
  • 3/4" Square Drive: Compatible with standard 3/4" drive impact tools, ratchets, and extensions
  • Black Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant protective coating; typical of professional-grade impact tools
  • Retaining Ring Groove: Recessed band accommodates a retaining clip to prevent socket loss during operation

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Differentiated SKU: 12-point sockets appeal to specialized users (heavy diesel, industrial machinery) who need angles that 6-point sockets cannot provide—creating a distinct product tier in your catalog
  • Upsell Opportunity: Customers buying standard 6-point sets often need one or two 12-point sockets for specific jobs; position this as a high-margin accessory
  • Professional Demand: Workshops moving beyond basic fastening recognize 12-point advantages; this positions you as a supplier who understands real-world constraints
  • Bulk Order Friendly: Offer kits pairing 12-point and 6-point 3/4" sockets for fleet or shop outfitting

Why Choose This Socket

The 12-point profile is not a marketing feature—it solves real problems. In confined spaces, angled approaches, or when fasteners are slightly damaged, a 12-point socket maintains grip where a 6-point would slip. The CR-MO construction handles the shock loads that pneumatic tools deliver; this isn't a socket for hand wrenches.

At 24mm, this socket covers a fastener size common in heavy automotive, diesel engine work, and industrial machinery. Pair it with your existing 3/4" drive collection and expand your market reach into professional segments that demand versatility.

Closing Note

Stock this socket for customers who ask for "something that won't slip on that one bolt." That question signals a shop serious about tool quality—and ready to pay for reliability.
