  • High-visibility laser marking plus permanent stamped size that won't wear off
  • 6-point opening grips hex fastener flats for exact fit

Professional Impact Socket

The TEKTON SID22038 is a 1/2 inch drive 6-point impact socket built for mechanics and serious DIYers who need reliable fastener engagement. It fits standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and is designed for high-torque applications where standard sockets would fail. Precise 6-point openings grip hex fastener flats to prevent rounding. Radiused corners direct force away from vulnerable corners for a secure hold.

Build Integration

This socket works with both friction ring anvils and detent pin anvils, giving you flexibility across different impact wrench designs. A detent pin hole on one side lets you choose whether to engage a locking pin for positive retention during heavy use. The dual marking system — high-visibility laser etching plus permanent stamped sizing — ensures the size stays readable even in greasy, low-light conditions. No adapter is required for standard 1/2 inch drive tools.

Performance Assurance

Each socket meets a minimum of 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME standard for proof torque, providing a substantial safety margin over baseline requirements. The 6-point geometry and radiused corners work together to protect both the socket and expensive fasteners from damage during high-torque removal or installation. This durability reduces downtime caused by rounded bolts or cracked sockets. The markings remain legible through years of shop use.

Questions about this item

Does the 6-point opening meet the ANSI/ASME proof-torque requirement under sustained heavy use?

Each socket meets a minimum of 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME standard for proof torque, so the opening holds its grip through repeated high-torque impacts.

Will the laser-etched and stamped size markings stay readable after a full day of impact work?

Both the high-visibility laser marking and the permanent stamped marking are designed not to wear off, keeping the size legible during extended use.

Which anvil style on my 1/2-inch impact wrench will this socket accept?

It fits both friction-ring and detent-pin anvils, and the detent-pin hole on one side lets you choose pin engagement.
