Deep 18 mm impact socket
The TEKTON SID23318 is a 1/2 inch drive deep impact socket with an 18 mm opening and a 12-point configuration. It is built for mechanics and technicians who need reliable fastener engagement on automotive and industrial jobs. The socket carries both laser-etched and permanent stamped size markings for quick identification in low light. It meets a minimum of 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME proof torque standard for its size.
Drive and anvil compatibility check
Verify that your impact wrench or driver uses a 1/2 inch square drive before ordering. The socket is engineered to work with both friction ring and detent pin anvil styles, so confirm which retention method your tool uses. Ensure the 18 mm size matches the fastener you intend to service. No other drive sizes or socket profiles are included with this single piece.
Heat and power in normal use
As a hand-operated impact accessory, the socket generates no heat and draws no electrical power during operation. Noise levels depend entirely on the impact tool driving it, not on the socket itself. The chromium-molybdenum steel construction resists deformation under repeated high-torque cycles. There are no cooling or power-supply requirements to consider.
