TEKTON 1/2 inch drive 38 mm 6-point impact socket with laser and stamped markings

TEKTON

TEKTON 1/2 Inch Drive 38 mm 6-Point Impact Socket 22138

SKU CH-SAFP-67CPF

A 38 mm 6-point impact socket with dual size markings and radiused corners that meets 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME proof torque standard

  • High-visibility laser and permanent stamped size markings won't wear off
  • Precise 6-point opening grips hex fastener flats to prevent round-off
  • Radiused corners apply force to flat sides, not corners
  • Meets 1.3 times ANSI/ASME proof torque standard
  • Detent pin hole works with both friction ring and detent pin anvils

Professional Impact Socket

The TEKTON 1/2 inch drive 38 mm 6-point impact socket is built for technicians who need reliable fastener engagement. Its dual marking system combines high-visibility laser etching with permanent stamped markings that resist wear in busy shop environments. The tool works with both friction ring and detent pin anvils for broad compatibility.

Torque Capacity and Fit

Each socket meets a minimum of 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME standard for proof torque, providing substantial headroom for demanding fastening jobs. Radiused corners apply force to the flat sides of hex fasteners instead of the corners, preventing round-off during high-torque applications. The precise 6-point opening ensures an exact fit on 38 mm hardware.

Drive Compatibility Detail

A detent pin hole on one side lets the user decide whether to engage a locking pin, accommodating both detent pin and friction ring anvil designs. This flexibility means the socket stays secure on the drive style you prefer without forcing a single retention method. Model 22138 identifies this specific size in the TEKTON lineup.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2 inch drive on this 38 mm socket fit the impact wrench I already own?

The socket uses a standard 1/2 inch drive that works with both friction ring and detent pin anvils found on most impact wrenches.

How can I confirm the 38 mm socket is gripping the fastener correctly after I start using it?

Radiused corners apply force to the flat sides of hex fasteners, so you should see no rounding on the fastener corners during use.

Does the TEKTON 22138 socket come with a retaining pin or ring, or do I need to buy those separately?

The socket includes a detent pin hole for pin engagement; retaining pins and friction rings are supplied with the impact wrench, not the socket.
