Product Description
Brief Overview
This 3/4-inch 12-point short hand socket delivers reliable fastener engagement for professional mechanics and technicians working with mid-sized bolts and nuts. The 82mm length positions it as the practical middle ground between shorter 70mm variants and extended 90mm options, making it versatile enough for engine bays, transmission work, and general maintenance tasks where space is moderately constrained. The bright chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and maintains professional appearance across repeated use cycles.
Key Features
- 12-Point Double-Hex Drive: Engages fasteners at 12 contact points, reducing the risk of corner rounding compared to 6-point designs while maintaining adequate grip on standard hex bolts and nuts
- 3/4-Inch Square Female Drive Recess: Compatible with 3/4-inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and power tools for flexible application methods
- 82mm Overall Length: Optimal for general-purpose work; provides reach without excessive leverage disadvantage in confined spaces
- Knurled Grip Ring: Textured midsection band enables secure hand-socket control during manual operation or when fine torque adjustment is needed
- Chrome-Plated Finish: Protective coating resists oxidation and corrosion in workshop environments; maintains bright appearance for professional presentation
- Cylindrical Construction: Seamless barrel design without internal defects ensures durability under repeated torque cycles
