1/2″ Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2" drive long hand socket delivers the precision and durability required for professional automotive and industrial applications. The extended length provides superior access in confined spaces—a critical advantage when working with recessed or deeply-seated fasteners. The 6-point configuration minimizes fastener rounding and ensures positive engagement, reducing costly comebacks and rework. Available across an 8-36mm size range, this socket pairs seamlessly with complementary 6-point hand sockets to build a complete toolkit that covers standard and metric fastening requirements.

Key Features

• 6-Point Internal Profile: Engages fastener flats directly, reducing cam-out and preventing rounding on corners
• Extended Length Design: 77mm body length provides superior reach into restricted spaces and deep-set fasteners
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Polished, reflective surface resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured surface improves handling comfort during repetitive socket changes
• Chamfered Entry: Beveled socket opening guides fasteners smoothly into position
• 1/2" Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2" ratchets, breaker bars, and pneumatic impact wrenches
• Metric Sizing: Comprehensive 8-36mm range covers both metric and SAE fastening applications

Business Advantages for Resellers

• Broad Size Coverage: 23-piece range (8-36mm) captures the majority of daily fastening tasks, reducing customer complaints about missing sizes
• High Turnover Potential: 6-point sockets command premium pricing compared to shallow sockets due to their perceived quality and durability
• Bulk Order Economics: Purchasing full ranges enables you to offer complete sets at competitive per-unit costs
• Minimal Returns: Chrome plating and precision manufacturing minimize defects, protecting your reputation
• Resale Flexibility: Individual sizes can be sold separately or packaged as complete kits, maximizing margin options

Why Choose This Socket Line

The extended 77mm length is the defining advantage here—most competitors offer shorter 65-70mm designs that force mechanics to use adapters or switch tools. This socket eliminates that friction. The 6-point geometry is equally critical: it distributes pressure across six fastener flats rather than four (as in 12-point designs), dramatically reducing the risk of rounding, which is the primary cause of socket returns and customer dissatisfaction.

The chrome plating is industrial-grade, engineered to withstand daily use in harsh workshop environments without flaking or discoloring. The knurled grip band is a subtle but valuable ergonomic feature—it prevents accidental socket slippage during high-torque applications.

Call to Value

Stock this range as a foundation set for any professional toolkit. The 8-36mm breadth ensures your customers have the right socket for virtually every job, reducing their need to source from competing suppliers. Order complete ranges to maximize inventory turns and establish yourself as a one-stop solution for socket requirements.
