Impact Socket 1/2-Inch Drive 24mm (Short), 12-Point Chrome-Molybdenum

Overview

This 24mm short impact socket is engineered for demanding pneumatic impact wrench applications where space constraints and high-torque demands intersect. Built from impact-rated chrome-molybdenum steel with a 12-point (double hexagon) internal profile, this socket delivers superior grip and reduced cam-out compared to standard 6-point designs. The short 78mm overall length makes it ideal for confined work areas—engine bays, tight suspension components, and assembly lines where reach matters. Whether your shop runs high-volume fastener work or specialty automotive assembly, this socket integrates seamlessly with standard 1/2-inch square drive tooling. Pair this with alternative 6-point impact options for jobs where traditional geometry is preferred, or build complete impact socket kits in multiple profiles for maximum versatility.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile: Reduces contact stress on fastener corners, minimizing rounding and extending fastener life
• Impact-Rated Chrome-Molybdenum Steel: Engineered to withstand repeated high-torque pneumatic impacts without cracking or deformation
• Short 78mm Length: Designed for confined spaces and tight assembly environments
• Square Drive Female Recess: Standard 1/2-inch drive compatibility with pneumatic impact wrenches and hand tools
• Retaining Pin Hole: Through-hole design accommodates ball detent or pin retainers for secure socket retention during use
• Matte Impact Finish: Dark, durable surface coating resists corrosion and marks impact-rated status at a glance
• Chamfered Entry Edge: Guides fasteners smoothly into the socket profile, reducing jamming and speeding repetitive work

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-Volume Turnover: Impact sockets are consumable-adjacent tools with frequent replacement cycles in professional shops—excellent for repeat orders
• Margin-Friendly Pricing: Lower cost per unit than specialized tools allows competitive positioning and strong gross margins
• Essential Inventory Item: Every pneumatic shop needs multiple sizes; 24mm is a common fastener size in automotive and industrial sectors
• Cross-Sell Ready: Pair with pneumatic impact wrenches, socket rails, and drive adaptors for basket-building opportunities
• Durability = Reputation: Chrome-molybdenum construction means fewer warranty claims and customer satisfaction
