3/4-Inch Drive 12-Point Short Hand Socket
Brief Overview
This 3/4-inch drive short socket delivers the precision and durability expected in professional automotive and industrial settings. The 12-point design engages fasteners securely while the short profile allows access in confined spaces where standard-length sockets fall short. Available in 60mm and 78mm sizes, this socket integrates seamlessly into any 3/4-inch drive tool collection. For mechanics who maintain smaller fastener sets, precision-engineered quarter-inch sockets offer comparable performance at a more compact scale.
Key Features
- 12-Point Profile: Double-hex recessed interior with rounded peaks and valleys for positive fastener engagement and reduced cam-out
- Short Design: Compact length ideal for restricted-access applications where space is limited
- Satin Chrome Finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant coating that withstands workshop environments
- Precision Chamfered Entry: Slightly beveled socket mouth guides fasteners smoothly into position
- Two Practical Sizes: 60mm and 78mm options cover standard metric fastener ranges
- Professional Markings: Clear size identification stamped on the socket body
Why This Socket Works for Your Shop
Stock Essential Sizes: The 60mm and 78mm combination covers high-demand fastener sizes, reducing the need for extensive inventory while maintaining customer availability.

Universal Compatibility: Fits all standard 3/4-inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches—a staple in every professional garage.
