Long Hand Socket, 1/2-Inch Drive, E12 Spline Profile, Chrome-Plated Steel

Brief Overview

This is a long-format hand socket engineered for E12 spline fasteners with a 1/2-inch square drive. The deep reach design allows access to recessed or hard-to-reach E12 bolts in confined spaces—a critical advantage when standard-depth sockets cannot engage properly. The chrome-plated steel body provides corrosion resistance and a professional finish suitable for both shop inventory and field work. If your inventory includes other E-spline sockets, this longer variant rounds out your coverage of specialty fastener applications.

Key Features

• E12 Spline Profile: Six-point rounded star configuration designed specifically for E-type tamper-resistant fasteners
• Long/Deep Socket Design: Extended reach for recessed or deeply-set fasteners
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Compatible with standard 1/2-inch ratchets, breaker bars, and power tools
• Chrome-Plated Finish: Durable coating resists corrosion and oxidation
• Knurled Grip Band: Mid-body texture improves handling and reduces slippage during manual operation
• Smooth, Polished Bore: Precision-machined socket opening ensures secure fastener engagement

Business Advantages for Resellers

This socket addresses a specific market segment: technicians working with E12 fasteners in automotive, industrial assembly, and specialty applications. E-spline fasteners are increasingly common in security-conscious installations and OEM equipment, making dedicated E12 sockets a profitable add-on to standard socket sets. The deep design extends the lifespan of your inventory by handling jobs where shallow sockets fail, reducing customer callbacks and building reputation for completeness.

Why Stock This Product

E12 sockets remain specialty items with strong demand from niche markets—automotive specialists, industrial maintenance, and OEM service centers. Unlike mass-market hex or Torx sockets, E-spline tools command higher margins and position your shop as a comprehensive solution provider. The long design fills a gap between standard and impact socket lines, justifying shelf space through customer loyalty and repeat orders.
