Description

Hand Socket 1/2-Inch Drive 6-Point 27mm

Brief Overview

This 1/2-inch drive hand socket is engineered for precise engagement with 27mm fasteners using a 6-point geometry that minimizes cam-out and fastener rounding. The compact 42mm length and 36mm outer diameter make it suitable for both confined and open-access work. Whether you're stocking a full shop toolkit or filling gaps in your reseller inventory, this socket pairs seamlessly with larger hex sockets for comprehensive drive coverage and complements your mid-range socket selection.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Internal Geometry: Maximizes contact with fastener flats, reducing slippage and fastener damage—critical for preventing costly comebacks on assembly jobs
  • 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Standard connection point ensures compatibility with all 1/2" drive ratchets, breakers, and extension bars
  • Knurled Grip Band: Mid-body knurling provides secure hand control and reduces accidental drops during manual fastening work
  • Chrome/Satin Finish: Durable metallic coating resists corrosion and maintains professional appearance through heavy shop use
  • Compact Design: 42mm overall length with 36mm head diameter suits both tight engine compartments and standard bench applications
  • Single-Piece Construction: Eliminates weak points and ensures long service life under torque

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High Turnover: 27mm sockets are frequently requested in automotive and industrial maintenance—this size is a core profit driver
  • Bulk Order Friendly: Stock this size across multiple quantities; the demand from independent shops, fleet maintenance, and OEM service centers is consistent
  • Margin Stability: Hand sockets maintain strong resale margins due to perceived durability and professional-grade positioning
  • Cross-Sell Opportunity: Pair with adjacent sizes (26mm, 30mm) to increase basket value and reduce customer sourcing fragmentation
