1/2" Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2" drive 6-point long hand socket delivers reliable performance for precision work across a comprehensive 8-36mm range. The extended length design provides superior reach in confined spaces and recessed fasteners—essential for modern engine work, transmission service, and suspension assembly. Chrome-plated construction ensures corrosion resistance and professional appearance, while the 6-point geometry minimizes fastener rounding and cam-out compared to 12-point alternatives. Whether you're stocking individual shops or building a complete socket set for heavy-duty applications, these sockets are purpose-built for the demanding technician.

Key Features

• 1/2" Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2" drive breaker bars, torque wrenches, and impact tools
• 6-Point Hex Design: Distributes force across six contact points, reducing rounding and extending fastener life
• Extended Length: 77mm overall length maximizes reach in tight engine bays and recessed bolt access areas
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Durable, corrosion-resistant coating with smooth, reflective surfaces
• Knurled Grip Ring: Textured band near the base ensures secure hand grip and prevents slipping during manual operation
• Precision Machining: Tight tolerances on drive cavity and hex geometry maintain perfect engagement with fasteners and drive tools
• Chamfered Entry: Beveled socket opening guides fasteners smoothly into the 6-point geometry, reducing cross-threading risk

Why This Socket Lineup Works for Resellers

This is a workhorse range—not novelty inventory. The 8-36mm spread covers 95% of fastener sizes in automotive and light industrial applications. Unlike shallow sockets, the extended length opens up accessibility problems that shorter sockets cannot solve, creating legitimate demand for a separate socket set. The 6-point design attracts professional technicians who understand that hex geometry prevents the rounded fastener damage that 12-point sockets allow. Stock these alongside standard-length 6-point sockets to give your customers options and increase your transaction value per order.

Bulk Order Advantage: Resellers often place standing orders for socket sets in 10-20 piece quantities. The complete 8-36mm range (24 individual sizes) represents a substantial order value with steady turnover in active shops.

Legend:

• D1: Inner drive cavity diameter (nominal fit for 1/2" square drive)
• D2: Outer socket diameter at widest point
• T: Thickness of hex walls (relates to strength and durability)
• L: Total socket length (77mm standard for long design)

Application Context

These sockets are ideal for:

• Engine Bay Work: Long reach accesses spark plugs, fuel injectors, and transmission pan bolts in tight underhood spaces
• Suspension Service: Reaches recessed control arm bolts and strut mounting points
• Transmission Rebuild: Extends reach to pan bolts and internal fastener access
• Industrial Assembly: Precision hex geometry prevents fastener damage on critical machinery
• Service Technicians: Professional shops maintaining high fastener integrity standards

Call to Value

Order in bulk to establish a complete long-socket inventory. Technicians recognize quality 6-point sockets as essential—not optional—once they experience fewer rounded fasteners and better reach. This range justifies shelf space and repeat orders from serious shops. Competitive pricing on multi-piece orders makes these ideal for distributor and fleet accounts.
