1/2″ Drive 6-Point Short Impact Socket

Brief Overview

These 1/2″ drive impact sockets deliver reliable performance across a broad size range (8–36mm), making them essential for any professional shop stocking impact tool accessories. The short profile design fits tight engine bays and constrained work areas where standard-length sockets won't reach. Built with heavy-duty impact-grade construction—reinforced walls, matte black finish, and a 6-point internal geometry that resists cam-out and rounding. Whether your technicians work on small fasteners or larger hex heads, this range covers the common bolt sizes that keep jobs moving. For shops managing multiple drive sizes, we also offer larger 3/4″ impact socket sets to round out your inventory.

Key Features

• 1/2″ Square Drive – Compatible with standard pneumatic impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bar assemblies
• 6-Point Internal Profile – Maximizes contact with fastener corners; reduces rounding and deformation of bolt heads
• Short Design – Compact length (38–48mm depending on size) for accessibility in tight engine compartments and confined mounting areas
• Impact-Grade Construction – Thick-walled forging with matte black protective coating; engineered to withstand repeated high-torque impacts
• Detent Pin Hole – Retaining pin slot prevents socket separation during tool changes and storage
• Size Range 8–36mm – 15 individual sizes covering the majority of fastener applications in automotive, industrial, and manufacturing environments
