Description

XZN Bit Socket, 1/2-Inch Drive, Chrome Vanadium Steel with S2 Steel Bit

Brief Overview

This XZN bit socket is engineered for precision work on fasteners requiring triple-square (XZN) engagement. Built from chrome vanadium steel with a hardened S2 steel bit, it delivers the durability and accuracy your technicians expect for manual assembly and maintenance tasks. Whether you're stocking individual sizes or building a complete XZN socket system, this socket provides the mechanical reliability that keeps your customers' work progressing without interruption.

Key Features

  • Triple-Square (XZN) Engagement: Prevents cam-out and bit slipping on delicate or recessed fasteners
  • 1/2-Inch Drive Standard: Compatible with all 1/2" ratchets, torque wrenches, and extension bars in professional shops
  • Dual Material Construction: Chrome vanadium socket body resists impact and wear; S2 steel bit withstands repeated insertions and torque cycles
  • Knurled Grip Ring: Ensures secure handling during manual operation and prevents accidental slipping
  • Nine Sizes Available: M4 through M18 coverage for automotive, precision assembly, and equipment maintenance applications
  • Compact Design: 62 mm length (standard across M4–M14) fits tight fastener access points without bulk
  • Professional Finish: Two-tone metal finish (bright socket, matte bit) indicates quality material selection and precise manufacturing

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High Turnover Category: XZN fasteners are common in automotive and electronics assembly; customers will reorder regularly
  • Bulk Order Potential: Nine sizes across two major socket diameters (23.9 mm for M4–M14, 25.9 mm for M16–M18) allow distributors to stock complete ranges at volume discounts
  • Competitive Margin: Premium dual-material construction justifies higher retail pricing compared to single-material alternatives
  • Professional Endorsement: Cr-V and S2 steel combination is industry-standard in Germany and Europe, familiar to quality-conscious buyers
  • Complementary Sales: Pair with XZN bit socket in M14 size or other driver bits for complete fastener solutions

Why This Socket Matters for Your Customers

XZN fasteners appear in precision-critical applications—automotive electronics, engine management components, industrial equipment assembly. Unlike Phillips or slotted heads, the triple-square design eliminates cam-out, meaning less fastener damage, fewer rework hours, and higher first-pass assembly quality. Your customers win time and reputation; you win repeat orders and margin.

Call to Value

Stock these sockets in bulk to maximize availability and turnover. The range from M4 to M18 covers 95% of common XZN fastener applications, reducing customer search time and increasing checkout transactions. Position this as the professional standard for precision fastener work.
