Description

3/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Socket, 46mm Deep

Overview

This 46mm 6-point socket is built for the demanding requirements of heavy industrial and automotive work. The deep profile (66mm overall length) and robust construction make it ideal for large fasteners in engine work, transmission assembly, and infrastructure maintenance. Whether you're stocking a workshop or equipping a fleet service center, this socket delivers consistent performance. For complete coverage across job sites, consider complementing your inventory with mid-range fastening solutions and smaller precision applications.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Internal Geometry: Precision-machined hexagonal recess minimizes cam-out and fastener damage, ensuring reliable grip on square-drive fasteners.
  • Deep Socket Design: 66mm length reaches fasteners in recessed or tight-access locations without requiring extension bars.
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Satin finish resists corrosion and extends tool lifespan in wet or aggressive workshop environments.
  • Detent Hole: Integrated retention feature secures socket to drive tool, preventing accidental separation during use.
  • Heavy-Wall Construction: Thick walls (32mm engagement depth) handle sustained torque loads without deformation.
