1/2" Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This 1/2-inch drive, 6-point long hand socket is engineered for professionals who demand precision and durability in high-frequency fastening applications. The extended length design provides superior reach and leverage compared to standard sockets, making it ideal for deep-set fasteners and confined spaces. Chrome-plated construction ensures corrosion resistance and longevity in demanding shop environments. Available in a comprehensive 8-36mm size range, with additional socket variants and complementary drive accessories to complete your toolkit.

Key Features

• 6-Point Internal Geometry: Reduces cam-out and fastener rounding by distributing load across six contact points rather than four
• Extended Length Design: 77mm overall length provides enhanced reach for recessed or deep-set fasteners
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and power drive tools
• Chrome-Plated Finish: High-visibility polished surface with superior corrosion resistance
• Precision Machining: Tight tolerances ensure consistent fit and eliminate wobble under load
• Knurled Grip Ring: Tactile handling control, particularly useful when working manually without a ratchet
• Stamped Identification: Clear size and part number markings for rapid tool selection

Technical Advantages for Your Shop

Fastener Protection: The 6-point design grips fasteners at their corners, not their flats. This prevents the rounding that destroys bolt heads and makes removal difficult—a critical factor when dealing with stuck or corroded fasteners.

Reach & Leverage: At 77mm, these sockets access fasteners in recessed bosses, behind flanges, and in tight engine bays where standard sockets cannot fit. The extended reach also provides mechanical advantage when breaking loose seized fasteners.

Wear Resistance: Chrome plating and precision machining mean these sockets tolerate repeated impacts and high torque without losing their grip integrity. For shops processing high-volume fastening work, this durability translates directly to lower replacement costs.

Business Advantages

• High-Turnover Product: 6-point sockets are consumables in professional shops—mechanics routinely stock multiple sizes to reduce tool switching time
• Bulk Order Opportunity: The 19-size range (8-36mm) allows resellers to position this as a complete fastening solution, encouraging full-range orders
• Margin-Friendly: Hand tools maintain stable margins without promotional pressure, unlike power tools
• Cross-Sell Potential: Pair with compatible 1/2-inch drive extensions to increase basket size

Why Professionals Choose This Socket

Mechanics select 6-point sockets because they work. Four-point sockets are faster for fresh fasteners, but 6-point sockets save time overall—they grip seized bolts, they prevent rounding, and they reduce the frustration of stripped fasteners. In high-volume shops, this translates to fewer callbacks and faster job completion.

The 77mm length is the professional standard for general-purpose work: long enough to reach recessed fasteners, short enough to maintain control in tight spaces. Resellers stocking this range position themselves as the go-to supplier for shops that prioritize tool quality.
