Description

Super Slim-Power Impact Socket, 1/2-Inch Drive, 6-Point, 21mm

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built slim impact socket engineered specifically for aluminum wheel applications and confined spaces where standard sockets won't fit. The thin-wall design combined with a replaceable protective plastic sleeve prevents rim damage and marring while maintaining the durability of Cr-Mo steel construction. Part of a complete range—pair this with smaller slim impact sockets or mid-range alternatives to cover all common wheel sizes in your shop inventory.

Key Features

  • Thin-wall slim design – Fits between spokes and in tight wheel applications without excessive bulk
  • Replaceable plastic coating – Translucent protective sleeve absorbs impact and protects aluminum rims from dings and scratches
  • Color-coded sleeves – Multiple color options for quick size identification and organization
  • Six-point hex geometry – Secure grip on fasteners, reduces cam-out and fastener rounding
  • Cr-Mo steel construction – Heat-treated for impact resistance and durability
  • Square drive compatibility – 1/2-inch drive works with standard impact guns and air ratchets
  • Ribbed grip sleeve – Molded rings provide handling control during use
  • Retention groove – Pin/ball retaining feature prevents socket loss during operation

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Wheel service essential – Every automotive shop performing tire/wheel work needs these. Slim sockets are non-negotiable for modern alloy wheels.
  • Recurring demand – Plastic sleeves wear and are easily replaceable, creating repeat orders and customer loyalty.
  • Margin-friendly – Thin-wall construction offers favorable cost structure while commanding professional-grade pricing.
  • Stocked-item expectation – Customers expect slim impact sockets as standard inventory; availability drives traffic and competitive advantage.
  • Bulk-order friendly – Offer size sets (17mm, 19mm, 21mm, 23mm range) to distributors and body shops as complete packages.

Why This Socket Matters

Aluminum wheels dominate modern vehicles, and standard impact sockets are too thick to work safely between spokes. This slim-wall socket bridges the gap with its narrower profile while the plastic sleeve absorbs vibration and prevents costly cosmetic damage to high-value wheels. Professional shops cannot complete wheel service without these, and the replaceable sleeve extends product lifespan—a genuine value-add for your customers.

Stock this size as part of your slim impact socket range to serve every wheel-removal and installation job with confidence.
