Description

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

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Velocity SKU: Short sockets represent essential inventory in professional shops; this compact length addresses a specific market gap for confined-space work
  • Accessory Margin Driver: Hand sockets are frequently purchased in sets or as complementary add-ons to larger tool purchases, supporting strong bundling opportunities
  • Durability Profile: Chrome-plated steel construction ensures minimal warranty returns and high customer satisfaction
  • Multi-Application Appeal: Relevant across automotive assembly, industrial maintenance, and precision mechanical work—broadening your addressable customer base
