Description

6mm 1/4-Inch Drive Deep Metric Socket, 12-Point Cr-V, 50mm Length

Brief Overview

This 6mm deep metric socket delivers the reach and precision required for tight, recessed bolt applications. The 12-point internal geometry engages fastener heads with minimal clearance, reducing cam-out and protecting fastener corners—critical for precision assembly work where bolt damage translates directly to customer dissatisfaction and warranty claims. Built from Cr-V alloy steel with a satin chrome finish, it resists corrosion and delivers the durability your customers expect. For shops stocking a complete metric socket range, pair this with complementary 11mm deep sockets and standard 6-point shallow variants to maximize tool coverage across job categories.

Key Features

  • 12-Point Internal Drive: Provides superior engagement on metric fasteners; reduces corner rounding and extends fastener life
  • Deep/Long Profile: 50mm length reaches fasteners in recessed or tight mounting positions where standard sockets cannot reach
  • Cr-V Alloy Construction: Premium chrome-vanadium steel resists impact cracking and maintains hardness under repeated shock loads
  • Satin Chrome Finish: Corrosion-resistant plating; easy to identify and maintain visually
  • 1/4-Inch Drive Compatible: Works with standard 1/4" ratchets, impact drivers, and power tools in the 4–10mm socket range
  • Knurled Grip Band: Textured collar enables secure hand positioning when manual pressure is required
  • Metric Specification: Designed for ISO metric fasteners (DIN 912, ISO 4762)

Why Resellers Stock This

Precision Work Margin: The 12-point geometry attracts precision-focused shops—automotive assembly, electronics integration, and aerospace—where tool reliability directly impacts customer satisfaction and repeat business. These operations pay for durability and accuracy.

Reduced Warranty Cost: Cam-out prevention means fewer stripped bolts, fewer customer callbacks, and fewer refunds. This socket pays for itself through avoided warranty claims.

Complete Kit Enablement: 6mm is a core size in metric work. Stocking this alongside the 11mm variant and standard shallow sockets lets you sell complete deep-socket kits to shops upgrading their tooling.

High Turnover in Precision Sectors: Automotive technicians, equipment assembly teams, and maintenance shops purchase these repeatedly as part of quarterly tool replenishment cycles.
