Hard-to-reach fastening
The STEELMAN PRO 97893 is a 13 mm swivel-head impact socket with a 3/8-inch drive and a 9-inch extension. It is built for mechanics who need to apply torque in confined engine bays or suspension areas where a straight socket cannot reach. The pivoting head provides up to 30 degrees of articulation for awkward angles.
Chromoly construction and knurled shaft
The socket is forged from heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. A knurled shaft allows easy hand-starting to prevent cross-threading before impact use. The pinless joint design replaces a traditional universal joint, freeing up rotational clearance and eliminating the risk of flying projectiles if the joint fails under load.
Sustained impact durability
Under continuous impact driving, the pinless joint transfers more usable torque to the fastener than a universal joint while maintaining structural integrity. The chromoly steel resists deformation during repeated high-torque cycles. The swivel head holds its angle without binding, allowing consistent power delivery through the full range of motion.

Questions about this item
How far can the 13 mm swivel head pivot before it hits its mechanical stop?
The head pivots up to 30 degrees, giving a wide range of angular access in tight spots.
Does the 9-inch extension run hot or transmit vibration during prolonged impact use?
The heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel and black oxide finish dissipate heat and resist wear under sustained impact loads.
What drive size must my impact wrench have to accept this extension socket?
A 3/8-inch drive impact wrench is required to fit the 3/8-inch drive end of the extension.
