Description

3/4″ Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket

Brief Overview

This 3/4″ drive short impact socket delivers the durability and precision required for high-torque pneumatic and electric impact applications. The 6-point geometry provides secure fastener engagement while minimizing cam-out risk—a critical advantage over 12-point alternatives when working with damaged or rounded fasteners. Available in 17 sizes ranging from 17mm to 65mm, this socket line covers the essential fastener range for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial service. The compact short profile reduces reach demands in confined engine bays and tight assembly areas. Pair this with compatible 12-point impact sockets for complete fastener coverage across your shop's tooling needs.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Design: Maximizes contact with fastener flats; reduces slippage and cam-out on worn or corroded hardware
  • Impact-Rated Construction: Matte black impact finish and reinforced walls absorb shock loads from pneumatic and cordless impact tools
  • Short Profile: Compact geometry ideal for restricted access work—engine bay assembly, frame-mounted fasteners, suspension work
  • Retention Pin: Ball or pin detent hole on the shank ensures socket stays secured to the drive during fast tool changes
  • 17 Metric Sizes: Continuous coverage from 17mm through 65mm accommodates the majority of metric fastening applications
  • Thick-Wall Design: Heavy-duty construction rated for sustained high-torque use without deformation

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High Turnover Category: Impact sockets are consumable-adjacent in professional shops—frequent replacement due to heavy use drives repeat orders
  • Essential Bulk SKU: Mechanics stock multiple copies of common sizes (19mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm) for redundancy; volume orders are the norm
  • Margin-Friendly: Strong wholesale discounts on multi-socket assortments; 17-piece sets represent compelling retail packaging
  • Completes Tool Kits: Resellers can bundle this socket family with impact wrenches and ratchets for complete power tool systems
  • Professional Credibility: Offering metric impact sockets signals serious, trade-focused inventory to shop buyers

Practical Applications

  • Automotive Service: Lug nuts, suspension fasteners, brake caliper bolts, transmission pan plugs
  • Heavy Equipment: Hydraulic fitting fasteners, engine block bolts, frame connections
  • Industrial Assembly: Machine mounting bolts, coupling fasteners, large equipment service
  • Pneumatic Power Tool Use: Optimized for air impact wrenches, electric impact drivers, and inline impact tools

Why the 6-Point Design Matters

A 6-point socket contacts the fastener at six flat surfaces—not twelve—meaning each load-bearing point absorbs more force per impact cycle. This translates to superior grip on larger fasteners (24mm+) and dramatically reduced rounding on damaged or worn hardware. For shops handling field repairs, mining equipment, or recycled/refurbished machinery, this advantage justifies stock dedication.

Stock & Order Recommendation

  • Individual Sizes: Order high-volume quantities of 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, and 24mm for guaranteed turnover
  • Full Sets: The complete 21-piece line fits standard 3/4″ socket rail storage and simplifies retail kitting
  • Mixed Assortments: Combine with E-type impact sockets to offer customers flexibility in fastener access
  • Bulk Pricing: Wholesale volume tiers typically unlock at 10+ piece orders per size; consolidating full-line orders maximizes margin

This impact socket line is an essential stock item for any distributor serving professional mechanics, equipment rental centers, or fleet maintenance operations.
