Description

6-Point 3/4-Inch Drive Socket, 50mm Hex, Deep Profile

Brief Overview

This 6-point socket delivers precision engagement on standard hex fasteners in demanding industrial environments. The 50mm hex size addresses heavy fastening applications across construction, manufacturing, and equipment maintenance. Available in both standard and impact-rated variants for shops requiring versatility across tool categories.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Internal Profile: Distributes load evenly across fastener flats, minimizing rounding and cam-out on worn or stubborn bolts
  • Deep Socket Design: 72mm overall length provides superior reach and leverage in confined or recessed fastening points
  • Polished Chrome Finish: Resists corrosion and maintains professional appearance under regular workshop conditions
  • Precision Machined Construction: Tight tolerances ensure consistent fit and reliable performance across repeated cycles
  • 3/4-Inch Square Drive Interface: Fully compatible with standard pneumatic and manual drive tools in this class
  • Detent Ball Design: Secure retention on drive tools prevents accidental socket loss during operation

Business Advantages for Resellers

High-Value Stock Item: The 50mm hex size targets mid-to-heavy industrial sectors where margins remain strong on precision sockets. This size is consistently ordered for scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs—predictable turnover.

Cross-Sell Opportunity: Stock this alongside 12-point impact sockets to capture both precision and power-tool segments. Customers often require both profiles for different job phases.

Durability Messaging: The 6-point design is your technical selling point to end-users. Unlike 12-point sockets, this profile actively prevents fastener damage, reducing warranty claims and repeat visits—a competitive edge in your pitch.

Professional Positioning: Chrome finish and deep profile signal quality. This is a tool mechanics specify, not something they compromise on. Position it as the premium alternative in your catalog.

Real-World Application Context

This socket is engineered for applications where fastener preservation matters:

  • Plant Maintenance: Regular bolt removal/reinstallation on machinery without fastener degradation
  • Heavy Equipment Service: Transmission pan bolts, axle fasteners, and structural hardware where re-use is mandatory
  • Commercial Vehicle Repair: Brake components, suspension hardware, and drivetrain bolts that must maintain integrity across multiple service intervals

The 50mm hex size is less common than 46mm or 55mm—this makes it a specialized inventory item that justifies premium pricing and positions your shop as fully stocked for non-standard applications.

Why Choose This Socket

Professional mechanics and technicians specify 6-point sockets for critical fastening because the design simply works better than 12-point alternatives on larger hardware. The geometry means less contact surface wear, fewer stripped fasteners, and faster job completion when fasteners are difficult to access or corroded.

For resellers, this translates to customer satisfaction, repeat orders, and the ability to confidently recommend a tool that delivers measurable value.
