3/4" 12-Point Short Hand Socket, 70mm Length

Brief Overview

This 3/4" drive short hand socket delivers precision engagement in tight working environments. The 12-point internal profile ensures reliable grip on hexagonal fasteners while minimizing cam-out risk. Built with a polished chrome finish and knurled grip band, it's a dependable choice for mechanics who need compact access without sacrificing durability. For applications requiring different depths, consider pairing this with extended-length drive sockets or compact shallow sockets to round out your socket range.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile: Double-hex design reduces rounding damage on fasteners and provides multiple contact points for secure grip.
• Short 70mm Length: Engineered for restricted access areas where standard-length sockets won't fit—critical for engine bay work, suspension assembly, and compact machinery.
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Highly polished exterior resists corrosion and maintains professional appearance; easy to clean and inspect.
• Knurled Grip Band: Mid-section knurling prevents slipping during manual operation, improving control and reducing operator fatigue.
• Chamfered Edges: Slightly beveled openings protect fastener corners and extend tool life.
• 3/4" Square Drive: Industry-standard male connection compatible with 3/4" drive ratchets, breaker bars, and power tools.

Business Advantages for Resellers

High-Velocity SKU: Short hand sockets are consumable-adjacent—mechanics replace damaged sockets regularly, creating recurring orders. The 70mm length fills a critical gap in compact work applications, positioning this as an essential part of any professional toolkit rebuild.

Volume Stacking Opportunity: Stock multiple lengths within the 3/4" 12-point range to increase per-job basket size. Mechanics typically buy in sets; offering depth variants (52mm through 90mm) maximizes order value and reduces inventory complexity.

Margin-Friendly Category: Hand sockets carry strong margins compared to power tools. Low defect rates mean minimal returns, and the chrome finish durability supports your reputation for quality.

Why This Socket Matters in Your Catalog

The 70mm length is the "Goldilocks" measurement—long enough to seat securely, short enough to access tight fasteners that longer sockets cannot reach. In automotive and light industrial work, this socket type moves consistently because it solves a real problem: standard sockets are too long.

Stock depth and color consistency (chrome finish) are your competitive advantages here. A distributor offering multiple length variants within the same product line wins customer loyalty because shops can buy complete sets for their drawer systems.
