1/2" Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2" drive 6-point long hand socket delivers the precision and durability your shop requires for fastener work across a comprehensive 8-36mm size range. The extended length design reaches recessed fasteners and tight spaces where standard sockets cannot access. Chrome-plated construction resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance that reinforces your shop's credibility. Whether you're stocking individual sizes or building complete sets, these sockets integrate seamlessly with existing 1/2" drive systems and complement complementary tools like 6-point shallow hand sockets for maximum workshop flexibility.

Why This Socket Matters

The 6-point geometry is the working professional's choice. Unlike 12-point sockets that spread pressure across twice as many contact points, 6-point design concentrates engagement force directly on fastener flats. This prevents the rounding damage that costs your customers money and time. The extended 77mm length bridges confined spaces—engine bays, frame rails, tight assemblies—where shallow sockets simply don't reach.

Chrome plating is more than aesthetics. It resists rust formation in damp workshops and tool storage, protecting your investment through the seasons. The knurled grip band at the socket base gives technicians secure finger control during hand operation, reducing dropped sockets and shop floor incidents.

Available as individual sizes across the full 8-36mm range, this approach gives you flexibility: stock fast-moving sizes (10mm, 13mm, 19mm, 22mm) in depth, source slower sizes on demand, and adapt inventory to your specific market without carrying unused sets.

Reseller Value Proposition

This is a core inventory item that drives repeat business. Pair these long-reach sockets with shallow drive hand sockets to give your customers complete fastener access. Mechanics and technicians purchase hand sockets consistently—they wear out slowly under normal use, but they vanish steadily through job sites, toolboxes, and loan-outs. That's recurring revenue.

The chrome finish and precision machining justify a professional-grade price point. Your customers recognize quality, and they'll choose a distributor who stocks tools they can trust over bottom-tier alternatives.

Stock by demand. Bulk order the four or five sizes your market moves fastest. This socket range covers everything from small electronics assembly to full automotive fasteners, ensuring broad application appeal across your customer base.
