Description

3/4″ Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket

Brief Overview

These 3/4″ drive 6-point short impact sockets are engineered for high-torque impact wrench applications in professional workshops and industrial settings. The compact short-length design provides superior access in tight spaces while maintaining robust steel construction to withstand repeated impact cycles. The full range from 17mm to 65mm ensures your customers have the right socket for virtually any fastening task. For applications requiring alternative drive geometries, consider complementary options like E-type Torx impact sockets or 12-point short impact sockets to round out your inventory.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Hex Geometry: Maximizes contact with fastener flats, reducing cam-out and fastener damage during high-torque operations
  • Impact-Rated Construction: Matte black hardened steel finish designed to absorb shock loads from pneumatic impact wrenches without cracking or deforming
  • Short Length Design: Compact profile enables access to fasteners in confined spaces—critical for engine bay work, suspension assembly, and tight frame clearances
  • Detent Hole: Integrated retaining hole keeps socket firmly seated on drive spindle, preventing accidental ejection during tool operation
  • Chamfered Entry: Slightly beveled hex opening guides fasteners smoothly onto socket, minimizing fumbling and reducing operator fatigue
  • 17–65mm Complete Range: 18 individual sizes cover standard metric fastener specifications used across automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance

Business Advantages for Resellers

Turnover & Margin Potential:

  • High-velocity product category. Impact sockets see consistent demand in active workshops—mechanics need regular replacements due to impact fatigue.
  • Bulk purchasing at the distributor level unlocks margin that supports competitive end-user pricing while maintaining healthy reseller profit.
  • Size-range completeness justifies shelf space and reduces customer sourcing time, encouraging larger per-order quantities.

Customer Stickiness:

  • Once a shop commits to a socket set, they return for replacements and complementary drive styles (E-type, 12-point). This is your entry point for repeat business.
  • Short-length preference is strong among professional mechanics—many shops prefer this profile exclusively, reducing your need to stock multiple length variants.

Low Inventory Risk:

  • Impact sockets are durable tools with multi-year service life in active hands. Unlike consumables, they don't vanish from inventory. Customers build sets incrementally.
  • Standard metric sizing (17–65mm) aligns with every major automotive and industrial standard globally, ensuring no obsolescence risk.

Why Choose This Socket Range

The 6-point geometry is the professional choice for impact work. Unlike 12-point sockets, the larger contact surface per fastener flat distributes load more evenly, extending socket life and reducing the "cam-out" failures that damage fastener corners. The short length is non-negotiable in modern engine bays and suspension frames where space is at a premium.

This 18-piece range eliminates the need for multiple suppliers. Your customers get a cohesive product family with consistent quality, geometry, and reliability—reducing downtime spent chasing sizes and replacing failed tools from mixed sources.
