Impact Socket 12-Point 16mm 1/2-Inch Drive, CR-MO Steel

Brief Overview

This 16mm impact socket is engineered for professional automotive and industrial technicians who demand durability under extreme pneumatic impact conditions. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a matte black impact-resistant coating, it delivers the precision and reliability required in high-volume service environments. Pair it with 18mm or 12mm impact sockets to build out a complete socket set for your shop's impact wrench operations.

Key Features

• 12-Point (Bi-Hex) Profile: Reduces fastener rounding and cam-out, extending fastener life and improving grip consistency on worn bolts
• CR-MO Steel Construction: Superior toughness and impact resistance compared to standard chrome-plated sockets; designed to withstand repeated high-velocity strikes
• Matte Black Impact Coating: Durable protective finish that resists corrosion and provides visual identification for impact-rated tools
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with pneumatic impact wrenches and standard 1/2" drive ratchets
• Compact 38mm Length: Efficient design minimizes reach while maintaining full engagement depth; reduces tip-over risk in tight spaces
• Retaining Pin Socket: Integrated side hole accommodates O-ring or retaining pin for secure fastening to impact wrench

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Velocity Turnover: Impact sockets are essential consumables in every professional shop; technicians replace them frequently due to wear and breakage
• Margin-Friendly Bulk Pricing: Purchase in complete sets (8–32mm range) at competitive per-unit costs; resell individually or as assorted kits
• Differentiated from Commodity Products: CR-MO construction justifies premium positioning over standard chrome sockets; positions your shop as a quality supplier
• Cross-Sell Opportunity: Customers purchasing one size inevitably need complementary sizes; recommend 21mm and 24mm variants as natural add-ons
• Durability = Repeat Business: Superior toughness means fewer premature failures and customer complaints, building trust for future orders
