Description

3/4-Inch 12-Point Short Hand Socket, 90mm Length

Brief Overview

This 3/4-inch 12-point short hand socket delivers reliable performance for professional mechanics and technicians working with standard fasteners. The 90mm length positions this tool as a mid-range option in the short socket family, balancing accessibility in moderately confined spaces with the stability required for controlled torque application. Whether you're stocking a full socket set or building specialized kits, this socket integrates seamlessly with ratchets, breaker bars, and impact tools. For applications requiring even more compact access, consider shorter 58mm alternatives or longer 82mm variants to round out your inventory.

Key Features

  • 12-Point Internal Profile: Provides four additional engagement points compared to 6-point sockets, reducing the risk of fastener rounding and distributing load more evenly across the fastener head
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating ensures longevity in workshop environments and resists rust formation during storage or transport
  • Knurled Grip Band: Textured surface near the drive end improves handling control, particularly useful when working with gloved hands or in high-vibration scenarios
  • Optimized 90mm Length: Engineered to access fasteners in moderately confined spaces without excessive reach while maintaining socket rigidity during torque application
  • Precision Square Drive: Accurately manufactured aperture ensures secure seating with compatible ratchets and prevents slippage under load

Why This Socket Matters for Your Business

Precision & Durability: The 12-point design significantly outperforms 6-point sockets in preventing cam-out—a leading cause of fastener damage and customer callbacks. This translates to fewer rework jobs and stronger customer satisfaction metrics.

Inventory Efficiency: As a mid-length short socket, the 90mm length serves the broadest range of real-world fastening tasks. Stock this length as your primary 3/4-inch short socket and supplement with compact 52mm versions for specialized tight-access jobs. This strategic pairing maximizes shelf space utility.

Professional Appeal: Chrome-plated tools signal quality to your customers. The polished finish and knurled grip band communicate precision engineering—exactly the expectation your professional clientele demands.

Bulk Order Advantage: Short hand sockets are high-velocity items in any professional shop. Position this 90mm length as the backbone of socket kits, and rotate inventory efficiently for consistent margins.

Application Context

This socket is engineered for fastening tasks involving standard 3/4-inch fasteners in automotive, industrial assembly, and maintenance environments. The 12-point profile is ideal for hexagonal bolt heads where fastener rounding is a risk factor. The 90mm length provides sufficient depth for fasteners with washers or spacers while remaining compact enough for engine bays, under-body work, and machinery access points that reject longer socket designs.

Closing Statement

Stock this 3/4-inch 12-point short hand socket as a core offering in your professional tool catalog. Its versatility, durability, and precision engineering make it a trusted workhorse that mechanics will return for repeatedly. Pair it with complementary lengths to build complete short socket systems that drive customer loyalty and repeat business.
