Specific Impact Socket
The Grey Pneumatic 1116U is a 3/8 inch drive impact socket built for professional automotive work. Its 12-point design engages SAE fasteners from multiple angles in tight spaces. The universal joint allows operation at oblique angles where straight access is impossible. This tool suits technicians who need reliable fastener engagement on mobile equipment.
Universal Joint Advantage
The integrated universal joint changes how force reaches the fastener by permitting angular drive alignment. This flexibility reduces the need for multiple extensions or adapters when obstructions block a straight approach. The 12-point broach further aids engagement on worn or rounded bolt heads. Together these features cut job time on complex suspension or driveline assemblies.
3/8 Inch Drive Fit
This socket fits only 3/8 inch square drive tools, so it will not accept 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch ratchets or impact guns. The 1/2 inch hex opening targets a single SAE fastener size, limiting use to that specific bolt or nut. Buyers needing metric sizes or different drive standards must select another part.

Questions about this item
Will the 12-point socket geometry wear faster than a 6-point design?
The 12-point configuration engages fastener flats at twice the angular resolution, distributing load across more contact surfaces and typically extending service life under repeated torque cycles.
At what torque level does the universal joint become the limiting factor?
The universal joint in the 1116U model transmits force through a pivoting pin assembly; sustained loads beyond the joint's rated capacity will cause deflection before the socket wall yields.
Does the black oxide finish affect heat buildup during all-day impact work?
The black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare; it does not significantly change thermal conductivity, so heat dissipation remains comparable to bare chrome-moly steel.
