1/2″ Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2″ drive short impact socket is engineered for pneumatic impact tools and heavy-duty fastening applications. The compact, stubby design minimizes leverage and reduces stress on both the tool and fastener, making it ideal for confined spaces and high-torque situations. Available in a full range of 15 sizes (8–36mm), these sockets pair well with larger 3/4″ drive impact sockets for complete workshop coverage.

Key Features

• 6-Point Profile: Hex recess grips fastener heads securely, reducing cam-out and rounding
• Short Length Design: Compact form factor reduces excessive leverage and tool strain during impact operations
• Impact-Rated Construction: Matte black hardened steel with thick walls engineered to withstand repeated impact cycles
• 1/2″ Square Drive: Standard 1/2″ drive (male) connection with retaining pin hole for secure tool attachment
• Chamfered Entry: Slightly beveled hex opening guides fasteners smoothly into position
• 15-Size Range: Complete lineup from 8mm to 36mm covers standard automotive, industrial, and maintenance applications

Business Advantages

Volume Play: The 15-size lineup offers resellers the opportunity to stock a complete set, positioning your operation as a one-stop impact socket supplier. Short sockets see consistent demand in body shops and tire service—higher turnover than specialty tools.

Lower Return Rates: The short design actually reduces tool damage by minimizing leverage-induced stress. Your customers experience fewer broken sockets and tool failures, building confidence in your product quality.

Cross-Sell Ready: These pair naturally with 3/4″ drive sets and longer sockets, enabling bundled offerings and higher cart values.

Why Resellers Choose This Range

The short impact socket is a workhorse that every shop needs in multiple sizes. Unlike longer sockets, the reduced length actually prevents the tool from over-leveraging, which means fewer bent drive shafts and broken sockets in your customer's hands. That durability translates to repeat business and customer loyalty.

The 15-size spread covers the vast majority of common fasteners (M8 through M36 metric equivalents), making this an essential foundation set for any distributor stocking impact tools.
