1/2" Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2" drive 6-point short impact socket is engineered for high-torque pneumatic impact wrench applications. The stubby profile delivers superior access in tight engine bays and confined spaces—a critical advantage over standard-length sockets. Designed with reinforced walls and impact-rated construction, this socket range delivers the durability your shop needs for daily heavy-duty fastening. Stock the full size range (8–36mm) to ensure your customers and technicians have the right tool for every job. For applications requiring larger fasteners, consider pairing with heavy-duty 3/4" impact sockets to cover the complete spectrum of automotive work.

Key Features

• 6-Point Design: Grips hex fasteners securely without rounding corners—critical for damaged or stubborn bolts
• Short/Stubby Profile: Compact length (38–48mm) enables access in tight spaces where standard sockets cannot fit
• Impact-Rated Construction: Reinforced corners and thick walls absorb shock loads from high-torque pneumatic wrenches without cracking
• 1/2" Square Drive: Compatible with all 1/2" pneumatic impact wrenches and breaker bars
• Detent Pin Hole: Integrated through-hole for secure attachment to drive tools, preventing accidental socket loss during operation
• Matte Black Finish: Durable corrosion-resistant coating suitable for wet shop environments and outdoor work
