Description

T80 Long/Deep Reach Impact Torx Socket, 1/2" Drive

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built impact socket engineered for high-torque Torx fastening applications. The T80 profile delivers 1041 Nm of maximum rated torque, making it suitable for serious automotive and industrial work where precision engagement meets raw power. The 78 mm deep reach design allows access to recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners without compromising drive efficiency. Pair this with complementary T-series impact sockets or consider a comprehensive deep-reach Torx socket set for complete workshop coverage.

Key Features

  • T80 Torx Profile: Large 20 mm star bit geometry for maximum contact area and reduced cam-out risk
  • 1041 Nm Maximum Torque Rating: Heavy-duty rated for industrial-grade impact tools and demanding applications
  • Deep Reach Design: 78 mm overall length provides extended reach to recessed or tight-access fasteners
  • 1/2" Square Drive: Standard drive connection compatible with all 1/2" drive impact wrenches and breaker bars
  • Chrome-Molybdenum Construction: Proprietary CR-MO alloy steel resists shock loads and fatigue failure
  • Oxidized Finish: Black matte coating provides corrosion resistance and professional appearance
  • Retaining Pin: Integrated lock mechanism prevents accidental socket separation during use

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

Margin & Demand: The T80 sits at the premium end of the Torx socket range—higher price point, steady demand from transmission shops, suspension specialists, and heavy equipment service centers. Stock this alongside smaller Torx sizes to capture full-service orders.

Durability & Returns: CR-MO construction minimizes chipping and deformation. Fewer warranty claims mean better margins. Mechanics trust proven metallurgy over cheap alternatives.

Upsell Potential: A single T80 socket often leads to orders for complementary T-series sockets or complete deep-reach sets. Position this as the workhorse piece in a larger Torx toolkit.

Shop Essential: Any professional shop handling modern European vehicles, transmissions, or industrial equipment needs T80 coverage. This is non-negotiable inventory.

Real-World Application Context

The T80 Torx socket is built for heavy-duty fasteners found in:

  • Transmission overhaul and repair work
  • Suspension component assembly (European vehicles)
  • Industrial equipment maintenance
  • Commercial vehicle service

The 78 mm reach is critical—it clears surrounding geometry while maintaining socket wall thickness for impact durability. This is not an entry-level tool; it's for technicians who need both reach and power in one socket.

Stock & Scale Recommendation

Order in multi-packs with complementary T-series sizes (T30–T70 range) to build a complete Torx socket lineup. The T80 pairs naturally with mid-range Torx profiles like T45 and T50—bundle them to increase basket size and customer lock-in.

Bottom Line: A high-torque, deep-reach socket that commands respect and margin. Essential stock for any shop serious about European vehicle repair or industrial work.
