Description

Hand Socket 1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point 14mm

Brief Overview

This 1/2-inch drive, 6-point hand socket is engineered for controlled fastening applications where precision and grip matter. The 6-point design minimizes fastener rounding and ensures positive engagement, making it ideal for both routine maintenance and careful assembly work. The knurled grip band provides secure handling in demanding shop environments. This socket pairs seamlessly with complementary sizes like 15mm and 16mm variants for comprehensive socket coverage across common fastener ranges.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Internal Profile: Reduces fastener rounding and cam-out, critical for precision work on hex fasteners
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating for durability in diverse workshop conditions
  • Knurled Grip Band: Knurled surface midsection ensures positive finger grip and prevents slipping during use
  • Compact 38mm Length: Balanced proportions allow access to fasteners in moderately tight spaces without sacrificing handling control
  • 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Standard drive size compatible with standard breaker bars, torque wrenches, and hand ratchets
  • Machined Construction: Precision-engineered for reliable performance across repeated applications

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Stock Essential Size: 14mm is a high-turnover fastener size in automotive and industrial settings—your customers will reorder regularly
  • Margin-Friendly: Hand sockets maintain consistent margins without the price pressure of larger socket sets
  • Bulk Order Efficiency: Light, compact design allows efficient packaging and shipping for distributor inventory builds
  • Professional Appeal: Chrome finish and knurled grip communicate quality to end-users, supporting your brand positioning
  • Complement Existing Stock: Pairs naturally with adjacent sizes (15mm, 16mm, 13mm) to drive multi-unit sales

Real-World Applications

  • Automotive Fastening: Ideal for engine compartment work, suspension assembly, and brake system maintenance where precision prevents damage
  • Industrial Assembly: Controlled hex fastening in machinery setup and maintenance operations
  • Precision Maintenance: Applications requiring careful fastener handling to avoid stripping or rounding

Why 6-Point Over 12-Point?

The 6-point design concentrates contact pressure directly on fastener flats, significantly reducing the risk of rounding—a critical advantage over 12-point sockets in professional hands. For resellers, this translates to customer confidence and repeat business as mechanics protect their fastener investments.

Stock this size with confidence. The 14mm socket is a workhorse in any professional shop, and its compact format makes it a natural addition to bulk orders targeting automotive and maintenance sectors.
