Description

1/2-Inch Drive Triangular Sockets, M5-M12, 5-Piece Set on Rail

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built triangular socket set designed specifically for VW TDI injection pump adjustments, Bosch injector work, and specialized fastening applications where triangular-profile locks are employed. The five-piece set covers M5 through M12 sizes and arrives pre-organized on a metal rail with spring clips for secure storage and easy identification. Each socket features a 1/2-inch drive connection, compatible with standard ratchets and power tools. If you're stocking specialized drive profile sockets, this triangular set rounds out your inventory for niche automotive and industrial applications.

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Niche Market Demand: VW TDI and Bosch injector servicing remains a steady revenue stream for specialized shops. This set positions you as a complete solution provider for this work.
  • High Margin Opportunity: Triangular sockets are not mainstream items—shops that need them must source them, reducing price sensitivity.
  • Bundled Presentation: Pre-organized on rail eliminates repackaging time and presents a professional, complete kit that justifies premium pricing.
  • Low Shelf Space Impact: Single rail footprint with five functional sizes—excellent inventory density for a specialized product.
  • Cross-Selling Potential: Shops upgrading their VW TDI toolkit often need complementary Torx socket sets with tamper resistance for security fastener work on related equipment.

Why This Set Matters

Triangular fasteners are engineered into specific industrial and automotive systems as a deliberate design choice—to prevent theft and accidental tampering on critical components. Generic socket sets will never cover this need. This five-piece set delivers exactly what the market demands: professional-grade triangular sockets in the most commonly encountered sizes, organized for shop efficiency and presented as a complete solution.

For independent shops, fleet maintenance operations, and specialist automotive technicians, this is a non-negotiable tool investment that justifies its premium positioning in your catalog.


Recommended Pairing: Combine with standard hex socket sets to ensure your resale customers have complete drive-profile coverage across common fastening applications.
