3/4-Inch 12-Point Short Hand Socket, 51mm Length
Brief Overview
This 3/4-inch drive short hand socket delivers precision and durability in a compact footprint ideal for confined spaces and controlled assembly work. The 12-point internal profile provides superior engagement across a wider range of fastener geometry compared to 6-point alternatives, while the knurled grip band ensures confident handling during manual operation. For applications requiring longer reach, complementary options like extended-length hand sockets are available to expand your assembly toolkit.
Key Features
- 12-Point Internal Profile: Engages fasteners at more contact points, reducing cam-out risk and protecting fastener corners during disassembly and installation
- Short Compact Length (51mm): Optimized for tight clearances and confined work areas where standard sockets would not fit
- Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating with high polish for durability and professional appearance
- Knurled Grip Band: Mid-body knurling provides tactile feedback and improved grip control during hand-tightening operations
- 3/4-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque-limiting tools in the 3/4-inch drive family
