Description

Hand Socket 1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point 10mm

Brief Overview

This 10mm 6-point hand socket is engineered for precise fastener engagement in automotive, industrial, and assembly applications. The 6-point design minimizes the risk of rounding—a critical advantage when working with damaged or delicate fastener heads. Whether you're stocking shop essentials or building a comprehensive socket assortment, this size bridges a common gap in standard sets. It pairs seamlessly with smaller fastener solutions like the 8mm variant and larger mid-range options such as the 11mm socket to provide complete coverage across precision work applications.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Profile: Maximizes grip and minimizes cam-out, protecting fastener corners from damage
  • 1/2-Inch Drive: Compatible with all standard 1/2-inch ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
  • Knurled Grip Band: Textured mid-body surface ensures secure hand control without slipping
  • Tapered Neck Design: Reduces material bulk while maintaining structural integrity; allows access in confined spaces
  • Satin Chrome Finish: Professional appearance with corrosion resistance suitable for professional shop environments
  • Compact 38mm Length: Balanced proportions ideal for hand-held and precision work; shorter than power-tool variants
