1/2-Inch Drive Impact Socket
The Vega 37163 is a long-length impact socket built for 1/2-inch square drive tools. It fits 7/16 fasteners in deep or recessed locations where standard sockets cannot reach. Mechanics and technicians use it for suspension, brake and engine work that demands extra reach.
Friction-Fit Installation
The socket presses onto any 1/2-inch drive ratchet, breaker bar or impact gun without adapters. The long body clears obstacles but adds leverage, so apply steady force to avoid rounding the fastener. Dirt or rust in the drive square can prevent full seating — clean both surfaces before use.
Verify Drive Size and Fastener
Confirm your drive tools are 1/2-inch square drive; 3/8-inch or 3/4-inch drives will not accept this socket. Ensure the fastener is a 7/16 hex head; metric or other SAE sizes will not engage correctly. The long profile requires enough clearance behind the bolt head to seat fully.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the Vega 37163 impact socket is performing correctly after first use?
The socket should engage the 7/16 fastener cleanly with the 1/2 square drive and show no rounding or cracking on the impact-rated walls after torque cycles.
What does the Vega 37163 package contain and what must I supply?
The box includes the single long-length 1/2 square-drive 7/16 impact socket; you must provide a compatible 1/2-drive impact wrench or breaker bar.
Which Vega 37163 version should I select for my application?
Only the 37163 model is listed — a long-length 1/2 square-drive 7/16 impact socket — so choose it when that exact drive and size match your fastener.
