Long Hand Socket, 1/2-Inch Drive, E10 Torx Profile, Chrome-Plated Steel

Brief Overview

This long-format hand socket is engineered for reaching recessed E10 Torx fasteners in tight or deep-set applications. The extended barrel design provides maximum reach without requiring extension bars, making it an essential addition to any professional fastening toolkit. For shops working with multi-drive systems, consider pairing this with compatible impact-rated sockets and alternative Torx profiles like E12 to cover a complete range of fastening needs.

Key Features

• E10 Torx Profile: 6-point internal star recess designed specifically for E-type Torx fasteners, preventing cam-out and ensuring secure engagement
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools and extensions
• Deep Socket Design: Extended barrel length maximizes reach into recessed fastener locations, reducing the need for extension bars
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Polished chrome-vanadium steel provides corrosion resistance and long service life in shop environments
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured grip section near the mid-body improves control and reduces hand fatigue during manual operation
• Professional-Grade Construction: Precision-machined internal profile ensures tight, consistent fit with Torx fasteners

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

Stock Depth: Torx-drive fasteners are increasingly common in automotive, industrial assembly, and electronics manufacturing. This single deep socket eliminates customer callbacks for "tool not available" situations.

Margin Opportunity: Deep sockets command better pricing than standard hex sockets in the same size range. Professional shops view deep-reach tools as specialty items worth premium investment.

Bundling Potential: Pair with standard shallow sockets and impact variants to create multi-drive kits. Torx systems often require multiple depths—your customers will buy sets, not singles.

Cross-Sell Driver: Customers buying Torx tools typically need complementary sizes. Stock E10, E12, and other Torx profiles to capture multi-item orders.
