Description

Hand Socket 1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point 26mm Chrome

Brief Overview

This 26mm 6-point hand socket is a precision-engineered fastener tool designed for controlled manual access to metric hex fasteners in tight or delicate applications. The 6-point design minimizes fastener rounding while the chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in demanding workshop environments. Pair this with larger drive sockets like the 36mm variant or smaller precision sizes such as the 21mm option to build a comprehensive 1/2-inch drive hand socket collection.

Key Features

  • 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with all standard 1/2-inch ratchets, breaker bars, and pneumatic tools
  • 6-Point Internal Profile: Reduces fastener cam-out and rounding; ideal for worn or stubborn hex bolts
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Resists corrosion and withstands repeated use in shop and field conditions
  • Knurled Grip Band: Mid-body texture for enhanced control and secure hand positioning
  • Standard Depth Design: Versatile for general automotive and industrial fastener work
  • Metric 26mm Size: Targets common European and metric fastener applications

Business Advantages for Resellers

High-Velocity SKU: The 26mm size sits in the mid-range of professional socket demand, ensuring steady turnover without dead inventory. 6-point sockets maintain consistent margins due to their precision manufacturing and durability—customers replace them less frequently than lower-cost alternatives.

Complementary Selling Opportunity: This socket is a natural pairing with larger metric sizes (27mm, 28mm, 30mm) and smaller precision variants (21mm, 23mm, 25mm). Resellers can bundle multiple sizes to increase basket value and customer convenience.

Professional Durability: Chrome plating and precision 6-point geometry reduce warranty claims and returns, protecting your shop's reputation and margins.
