3/4-Inch 12-Point Short Hand Socket, 76mm Length
Brief Overview
This 76mm short hand socket delivers the precision and durability required for professional shop environments. The 12-point (double-hex) internal profile engages 12-point fasteners with minimal cam-out risk, making it ideal for work on precision fastening and restoration projects. Chrome-plated construction resists corrosion while maintaining excellent visibility and reflectivity in varied lighting conditions. This length sits at the midpoint of our 3/4-inch socket range—longer than our shorter 51mm and 56mm variants, but more maneuverable than our extended 82mm and 90mm options, positioning it as the go-to choice for standard fastening tasks.
Key Features
- 12-Point Internal Profile: Double-hex design provides multiple engagement points for reduced rounding and cam-out on 12-point fasteners
- Chrome-Plated Finish: Polished, reflective surface resists rust and corrosion; easy to inspect for wear or damage
- 76mm Overall Length: Balanced proportions for accessibility in confined spaces without sacrificing engagement depth
- Knurled Grip Band: Textured midsection enhances handling control and prevents slippage during high-torque work
- Chamfered Edges: Smooth entry reduces fastener damage and extends socket lifespan
- 3/4-Inch Square Drive: Direct compatibility with standard 3/4-inch ratchets, torque wrenches, and impact tools
Why This Socket Works for Your Inventory
Broad Application Match:
The 76mm length positions this socket as the workhorse for most standard automotive fastening—lug nuts, suspension bolts, transmission work, and industrial equipment assembly. This length avoids the reach limitations of shorter sockets while maintaining the maneuverability shops demand.
Durability & Resale Confidence:
Chrome plating and 12-point geometry mean longer service life per tool, reducing premature replacement costs for your customers. The multi-point profile minimizes fastener damage, a key selling point when customers compare to 6-point alternatives.
Margin-Friendly Bulk Orders:
As a staple size in the 3/4-inch drive category, bulk stocking justifies strong margin positioning. Resellers benefit from consistent demand and high turnover.
