Description

3/4-Inch 12-Point Short Hand Socket, 52mm Length

Overview

This 52mm short-length 3/4-inch socket delivers the compact profile mechanics need when working in tight engine bays, undercarriage assemblies, and confined mounting areas. The 12-point design engages fasteners cleanly without cam-out, reducing the risk of bolt head damage—critical for high-value repairs. Chrome-vanadium construction ensures durability across thousands of cycles. Stock multiple lengths across your range: pair this with longer 70mm variants for deeper recesses and 51mm ultra-compact options to maximize flexibility on your shelves.

Key Features

  • 12-Point Internal Profile: Double-hex design reduces rounding risk and provides secure grip on fasteners
  • 52mm Short Length: Optimized for restricted-access applications without sacrificing structural integrity
  • Chrome-Vanadium Steel Construction: Hard-wearing, corrosion-resistant material rated for sustained professional use
  • Square Drive (3/4" / 19mm): Direct compatibility with standard 3/4-inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
  • Chamfered Entry Lip: Guides fasteners smoothly into the socket for faster engagement
  • Matte Chrome Finish: Reduces glare in tight work environments; resists surface wear

Why This Socket Sells

For Your Customers:

  • Technicians working on modern engine compartments and transmission housings demand short-reach sockets; this 52mm length fits where standard 60mm+ sockets won't.
  • 12-point engagement prevents the bolt-head rounding that leads to costly remachining or replacement fasteners.
  • Chrome-vanadium durability means fewer warranty returns and repeat purchases driven by tool failure rather than wear.

For Your Margin:

  • High-velocity item in any professional shop. Mechanics buy sockets in sets, then replace worn or lost pieces—this creates recurring revenue.
  • Lightweight, stackable inventory with zero special storage requirements.
  • Pairs naturally with ratchets, breaker bars, and extension bars already in your catalog.
