1/2 in Drive 18 mm Universal Impact Socket
The Capri Tools 5-5318 is a 1/2 in drive 18 mm universal impact socket built for professional mechanics and serious DIYers. Its 360 degree rotation provides flexible access to fasteners in tight or awkward positions. Premium Chrome Molybdenum steel with proprietary heat treatment ensures durability under high torque from power tools.
Manganese phosphate coating and WaveDrive design
A manganese phosphate finish delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard black oxide coatings. The 6-point WaveDrive profile grips fastener flats more securely, reducing rounding and increasing leverage. These features combine to extend socket life in demanding automotive and industrial environments.
Meets ASME B 107.110 standard
The socket meets and exceeds ASME B 107.110 standards for dimensional accuracy and performance. Buyers who need a different drive size, a different metric dimension, or a non-universal fixed socket should look elsewhere. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1/2 in drive 18 mm universal impact socket and what step is often missed?
Attach the 1/2 in drive square to your impact wrench, align the 6-point WaveDrive opening with the fastener, and engage the universal joint so the socket rotates 360 degrees to the working angle before applying torque.
What maintenance or replacement will this 18 mm universal impact socket need over time?
Inspect the manganese phosphate coating for wear and check the universal joint for excessive play or binding; replace the socket if the 6-point WaveDrive profile shows rounding or the joint no longer rotates 360 degrees smoothly.
What limit appears first when this 18 mm universal impact socket is used continuously under high torque?
The universal joint is the first component to heat up and lose efficiency during sustained high-torque use, so allow cooling intervals to maintain the ASME B 107.110 performance rating.
