Description

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.

Durability Under Pressure: The 12-point design distributes load across more contact points than 6-point alternatives, extending socket life during sustained use on stubborn fasteners—meaning fewer replacements and better margins.

Competitive Pricing: Professional-grade hand sockets at this specification point command healthy retail markups while remaining attractive to cost-conscious technicians.

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