Brake Caliper Pentagon Socket & Bit Set, 1/2" Drive, 5-Piece

Brief Overview

This 5-piece brake caliper pentagon socket set addresses a critical gap in general socket collections—the non-standard pentagonal fasteners found on BENDIX and GIRLING brake calipers across European and Asian vehicles. Constructed from Chrome Vanadium steel with precision-machined pentagon profiles, this set eliminates the frustration of stripped fasteners and improper fits that plague technicians working with Opel, Citroën, Peugeot, Renault, Ford, and Smart platforms. The organized carry case ensures technicians grab the exact socket needed without searching through drawers, while the 1/2-inch drive hex bit socket compatibility with standard impact tools keeps your shop's tooling investments unified.

Key Features

• Pentagon Profile Design: Five-sided internal profiles engineered specifically for BENDIX and GIRLING brake caliper fasteners—eliminates cam-out and fastener damage
• Chrome Vanadium Construction: High-strength steel composition resists deformation under impact, ensuring longevity across high-volume brake service operations
• Precision Sizing: Four calibrated socket sizes (10mm, 12.5mm, 14mm, 19mm) cover the fastener range found on the most common European and Asian platforms
• Impact-Rated Design: Matte black finish and robust construction handle impact tool torque without chipping or wearing
• Dedicated Carry Case: Molded plastic storage with individual recesses keeps each socket organized and prevents loss or damage during transport between job sites
• 1/2" Drive Standard: Compatible with your existing 1/2-inch ratchet and impact tool inventory

Business Advantages for Resellers

Service Frequency & Margin Opportunity: Brake caliper service is a recurring maintenance procedure. Technicians purchasing this set will return for replacement sockets as wear accumulates, creating predictable repeat orders. The specialized pentagon profile ensures customers cannot substitute generic hex sockets—they must return to your shop for the correct tool.

Reduced Comebacks: Technicians using improper tools (hex sockets on pentagon fasteners) generate job rework and customer dissatisfaction. This set eliminates that source of complaints, building customer loyalty and reducing warranty claims on your shop floor.

Competitive Differentiation: Most general tool distributors do not stock pentagon sockets. Positioning this set in your catalog establishes your company as a specialist supplier for European vehicle service, justifying premium margins and attracting professional shops seeking hard-to-find items.

Bundle Opportunity: Pair this set with a 3/8-inch brake caliper socket set to capture both common drive sizes in a single shop purchase order, increasing average order value.
