Impact Socket for 1/2 in Drive
This impact socket fits a 1/2 inch drive and has a 1 5/8 inch SAE opening. It is made from nickel aluminium bronze with an unfinished surface and a four-point profile. The tool meets ASTM A342 and carries FM approval for impact use.
Suited for Non-Sparking Applications
The bronze alloy is intended for environments where ferrous tools could create sparks, such as oil, gas or chemical facilities. It is not suited for general-purpose workshops that need hardened steel sockets for high-torque fastening on standard hardware.
Capacity and Headroom
The socket handles the torque loads specified by its impact rating and the ASTM A342 standard. It will not provide the wear resistance of heat-treated steel when used continuously on hard fasteners, and the four-point drive limits engagement compared to six or twelve-point designs.
Highlights
- Non-sparking safety for hazardous environments
- Nickel aluminium bronze resists corrosion and wear
- ASTM A342 compliant for material quality
- FM approved for industrial safety standards
- 1/2 in drive fits standard impact wrenches
