Industrial Sockets – Standard & Customised Solutions

Industrial sockets are critical fastening components used across automotive, manufacturing, maintenance, and assembly operations. Designed to transmit torque efficiently from tools to fasteners, the right socket selection plays a key role in ensuring accuracy, safety, and tool life in torque-critical applications.

We offer a wide range of standard industrial sockets, along with the ability to supply customised socket solutions to meet specific application requirements.

Common Types of Sockets Used in Industry

Industrial sockets are commonly available in various configurations to suit different fastening needs, including:

• Hex Sockets – Widely used for standard hex fasteners in automotive and machinery assembly

• Bi-Hex / 12-Point Sockets – Suitable for applications requiring easier engagement in confined spaces

• Impact Sockets – Designed for high-torque and impact applications using pneumatic or electric impact tools

• Deep Sockets – Used where bolts or studs extend beyond standard socket depth

• Thin-Wall Sockets – Ideal for tight or restricted access areas

• Insulated Sockets – Used in electrical and safety-critical applications

• Special Profile Sockets – For non-standard or application-specific fasteners

These sockets are typically manufactured to withstand repeated torque loading and are used with manual, electric, pneumatic, and torque-controlled tools.

Customised Socket Solutions

In addition to standard sockets, we provide customised socket solutions tailored to specific customer requirements. Customisation can include changes in:

• Socket profile or internal geometry

• Length, wall thickness, or outer diameter

• Drive size compatibility

• Special coatings or surface treatments

• Application-specific designs for restricted or automated assembly processes

Customised sockets are especially useful in production lines, special assemblies, and applications where standard sockets do not meet accessibility, strength, or process requirements.

Why Choose Customised Sockets

Customised sockets help improve fastening accuracy, reduce tool wear, enhance operator safety, and support efficient assembly processes. They are commonly used in automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, heavy engineering, and specialized manufacturing environments.
