1-Inch Drive Impact Socket, 65mm Hex, High-Depth Design
Brief Overview
This 65mm hex impact socket is engineered for heavy-duty fastening applications requiring extended reach. The 120mm depth design accommodates recessed or hard-to-access fasteners common in automotive transmission work, industrial assembly, and equipment maintenance. Built from hardened, phosphate-coated steel with a 6-point hex recess that grips fasteners securely while minimizing cam-out. The square 1-inch drive integration ensures compatibility with standard impact wrenches and breaker bars. If you're stocking a comprehensive impact socket range, consider pairing this with 65mm-depth specialized sockets or 60mm intermediate reach options to cover the full spectrum of shop requirements.
Key Features
- Hex Size: 65mm (SAE equivalent: 2-9/16")
- Drive: 1-inch square drive (standard for impact tools)
- Depth: 120mm—optimized for extended-reach fastening
- Recess Design: 6-point hex with radiused corners to prevent rounding and reduce fastener slippage
- Material: Chrome-molybdenum alloy steel with phosphate oxide coating
- Surface Finish: Matte black—corrosion-resistant and impact-hardened
- Detent Ring: Integral retaining groove to prevent socket loss during operation
- Chamfered Top Edge: Reduces burring and extends socket lifespan
Why Resellers Choose This Socket
Margin & Turnover: Large hex sockets (55mm–80mm) command strong margins in industrial distribution. Shops regularly replace impact sockets due to wear, making this a recurring purchase. Stock depth attracts fleet maintenance contracts and equipment rental operations.
Customer Retention: Professional mechanics expect depth-specific sockets. A 65mm hex socket with 120mm depth fills a critical gap between standard (90mm) and extra-deep (125mm) designs, reducing customer search time and positioning you as a complete supplier.
Durability & Reliability: Impact-grade phosphate coating withstands repeated shock loads. The 6-point design is preferred by experienced technicians over 12-point variants—it grips cleanly and resists cam-out on corroded or tight fasteners.

Stock & Volume Opportunity
This socket is part of a 14-size range (24mm to 80mm) within the 1-inch drive impact category. Distributors who stock the complete line capture both one-time project orders and ongoing maintenance demand. The 65mm size sees consistent reorder from shops that don't want to upgrade to full socket sets.
Bottom Line: The 65mm × 120mm impact socket is a specialist tool that justifies premium shelf placement. Pair it with complementary 34mm shallow-reach options to build customer loyalty and reduce lost sales to competitors.
