Description

3/4-Inch 12-Point Short Hand Socket, 35mm, 58mm Length

Brief Overview

This 3/4-inch drive, 12-point short hand socket delivers reliable fastener engagement in confined work areas. The 58mm compact length positions it as an ideal choice for mechanics working in tight engine bays, transmission housings, and precision assembly environments. Built from chrome-vanadium steel with a bright chrome finish, it resists corrosion and withstands repeated impact loads. If you require extended reach options, longer-length drive sockets and alternative compact designs are available to complete your socket inventory.

Key Features

  • 12-Point Double-Hex Profile: Reduces cam-out risk during removal of rounded or worn fasteners; faster engagement than 6-point sockets on fresh nuts and bolts.
  • Short Compact Design (58mm): Engineered for access in restricted spaces where standard-length sockets cannot reach.
  • Chrome-Vanadium Construction: Durable steel alloy resists breaking under impact; maintains hardness across temperature ranges typical in automotive and industrial environments.
  • Bright Chrome Finish: Factory-applied corrosion barrier; easy visual inspection for damage; professional appearance on shop shelves.
  • Chamfered Entry: Guides fasteners smoothly into the socket recess; minimizes rounding during initial engagement.
  • Pin Detent Hole: Allows optional retention on 3/4-inch square drive tools, preventing accidental socket loss during overhead work.
  • Precision Machining: Tight tolerances ensure consistent fit with 3/4-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

Business Advantages for Distributors

  • High Turnover Category: Socket sets and individual sockets remain consistent, high-volume SKUs in professional tool retail.
  • Margin-Friendly: Compact packaging and lightweight logistics reduce handling costs; strong wholesale margins support healthy reseller profitability.
  • Inventory Consolidation: 3/4-inch drive sockets are essential across automotive, diesel, and industrial maintenance shops. This short-length variant fills a critical niche that larger, longer sockets cannot address.
  • Bulk Purchase Incentive: Mechanics typically purchase sockets in sets or replenish worn units individually. Offering competitive per-unit pricing on bulk orders (25+, 50+, 100+ units) drives order volume and customer loyalty.
  • Complementary Sales Opportunity: Pair with extended-reach socket options and ratchet handles to increase average order value.

Application Context

This socket excels in scenarios where fastener access is restricted:

  • Engine Work: Spark plug wells, transmission pan bolts, and valve cover fasteners in tight engine compartments.
  • Transmission & Drivetrain: Drain plugs, pan bolts, and coupling hardware in confined transmission areas.
  • Precision Assembly: Industrial equipment assembly where space is at a premium and hex socket geometry minimizes damage risk.
  • Overhead & Suspension Work: Short length reduces weight and inertia during extended reaching; ball detent option aids one-handed tool placement.

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

Professional mechanics trust 12-point sockets for fasteners that have begun to round. The double-hex profile engages more fastener edges, reducing the likelihood of slipping and damaging both the tool and the work. At 58mm, this socket fills the gap between standard long sockets and ultra-compact designs, making it indispensable for shops that service modern vehicles with complex engine layouts.

The chrome-vanadium construction and bright finish signal durability to your customers. Bulk inventory of this size and drive combination ensures your shop never turns away a job due to missing tools—a reputation builder in competitive markets.

Purchasing Recommendation

Order in multiples of 10–25 units to stock depth by size within the 3/4-inch drive category. Pair with complementary short sockets in adjacent sizes (32mm, 36mm, 38mm, 41mm) and longer variants (70mm, 82mm, 90mm) to create a complete, sales-ready socket wall display. White-label bulk orders qualify for tiered pricing; contact your account manager for volume quotes.
