Description

46mm 3/4-Inch Drive Short Impact Socket, 6-Point, Heavy-Duty CR-MO Steel

Brief Overview

This 46mm impact socket delivers the durability and precision required for high-torque fastening in automotive and industrial applications. Built from chromium-molybdenum (CR-MO) steel with a protective phosphate finish, the socket withstands repeated impact loading without deformation or failure. The compact 62mm length and 6-point internal profile make it ideal for confined spaces where standard-length sockets won't fit. As a reseller, you'll appreciate the strong demand for this size—46mm covers critical fastening tasks across heavy-duty machinery, truck servicing, and industrial assembly. Pair this with complementary 3/4-inch drive short impact sockets to build a complete range that keeps your customers equipped for any job.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Hex Profile: Reduces cam-out and fastener rounding, ensuring reliable engagement with tight or worn fasteners
  • Short 62mm Design: Fits into restricted access areas where standard-length sockets cannot reach
  • CR-MO Steel Construction: Chromium-molybdenum alloy provides superior impact resistance and prevents socket fracturing under pneumatic pressure
  • Heavy-Duty Phosphate Finish: Protects against corrosion and extends socket lifespan in demanding shop environments
  • 3/4-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with standard pneumatic impact wrenches and breaker bars
  • Detent Groove System: Integrated locking groove ensures secure connection to drive spindle, preventing accidental separation during use

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

High Turnover Item: 46mm sockets are consumables in high-volume automotive and plant maintenance—expect regular reorders from shops and fleet services.

Minimal Returns: CR-MO construction and six-point geometry eliminate the chipping and splitting issues common with inferior impact sockets, protecting your reputation.

Bulk Order Friendly: Competitively priced for case quantities; the 62mm short design commands a slight premium over standard lengths, improving margins.

Cross-Sell Potential: Customers buying a 46mm socket typically need complementary sizes. Recommend our full 3/4-inch drive range to increase average order value.
