Description

3/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket

Brief Overview

This 3/4-inch drive short impact socket is engineered for high-torque pneumatic impact wrenches in automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance applications. The 6-point design provides secure hex engagement with minimal cam-out risk, while the short body facilitates access in confined spaces. Available across a comprehensive 17–55mm size range with stepped diameters for ergonomic handling. If you require alternative profiles, consider E-Type Torx short impact sockets or 12-point variants for different fastener geometries.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Hex Profile: Direct nut engagement minimizes rounding and slippage under impact load.
  • Short Length Design: Optimized for confined engine bays, tight undercarriage work, and assembly stations.
  • Stepped Outer Diameter: Larger body diameter at the nut end provides structural rigidity; stepped profile improves grip and reduces hand fatigue during repeated use.
  • Impact-Grade Construction: Matte black finish indicates hardened chrome-molybdenum steel with shock-resistant properties.
  • Retention Hole: Side-mounted detent hole accommodates a retaining pin or spring detent for socket security on the drive square.
  • Chamfered Internal Edges: Reduces stress concentration and extends socket lifespan under cyclic impact loading.

Business Advantages

For Resellers & Distributors:

  • High Turnover Potential: 19 size options (17mm–55mm) create multiple SKUs, maximizing shelf coverage and repeat customer orders.
  • Essential Consumable Replacement: Impact sockets wear faster than hand tools; frequent re-ordering drives predictable revenue.
  • Competitive Margin: Bulk purchasing unlocks wholesale pricing; resale margin potential is strong for professional-grade tools.
  • Cross-Sell Opportunity: Technicians upgrading from 1/2-inch or switching to 12-point profiles represent upsell pathways.

For End-Users:

  • Durability Under Load: Hardened steel withstands sustained impact from pneumatic impact wrenches (typically 800–2,000 rpm) without fracture.
  • Precision Fit: 6-point geometry fits modern hex fasteners (bolts, nuts) with minimal play; reduces fastener damage on critical assemblies.
  • Ergonomic Efficiency: Short length + stepped diameter = faster access, reduced wrist strain, faster job completion.
