Impact Socket 12-Point 15mm 1/2-Inch Drive, Chrome-Molybdenum Construction

Brief Overview

This 15mm impact socket delivers the precision and durability your shop needs for high-torque fastener work. The 12-point design minimizes cam-out risk while the chrome-molybdenum construction withstands repeated impact loading without deformation or failure. The 1/2-inch drive format integrates seamlessly with standard pneumatic and electric impact tools, making it an essential addition to any professional tool kit. For shops working across multiple bolt sizes, consider pairing this socket with 12mm impact sockets and 21mm impact alternatives to build a comprehensive fastener solution.

Key Features

• 12-Point Profile: Reduces rounding and cam-out on hex fasteners; improves contact geometry for consistent torque delivery
• Chrome-Molybdenum Steel: Superior impact resistance compared to standard chrome; engineered for pneumatic and cordless tools
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars
• Retention Pin Hole: Integrated through-hole secures the socket to the drive tool, preventing accidental separation during operation
• Matte Phosphate Finish: Protects against corrosion and wear; maintains grip in oily or humid shop conditions
• Compact 38mm Length: Fits tight engine bays and confined fastening spaces without sacrificing strength

Business Advantages

• High Resale Demand: Impact sockets are consistently requested by working mechanics—stock rotation is fast
• Bulk Order Pricing Opportunity: Offer tiered discounts for 10-socket, 25-socket, and 50-socket assortments
• Margin Protection: CR-MO construction commands premium pricing over standard sockets; customers accept higher price points
• Cross-Sell Leverage: Position this 15mm socket as part of a complete metric set; recommend complementary sizes to increase order value
• Durability = Fewer Returns: The CR-MO specification minimizes premature failure claims, protecting your reputation and margins

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

The 15mm size covers common applications across European and global fastening standards—wheel fasteners, engine work, suspension components, and transmission bolts all rely on this size. The 12-point profile offers a sweet spot between tight contact (6-point) and faster insertion/removal (12-point), reducing fatigue for high-volume shops. Mechanics who have experienced rounding damage from inferior sockets will immediately recognize the value of CR-MO construction.

Stock this socket with confidence. It's not a niche item—it's a proven workhorse that moves consistently and justifies premium margins.
