Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What sizes are available for this 1/2" drive impact socket?
A: This impact socket is available in two sizes — 24mm (0.94 in) and 36mm (1.42 in). Both feature a 1/2" drive, 6-point hex profile and a 78mm deep socket length. Select your required size at checkout.
Q: Is this socket compatible with my impact wrench?
A: Yes. The socket features a standard 1/2" square drive, making it compatible with the vast majority of 1/2" impact wrenches, pneumatic air tools, ratchets, and extension bars available on the market today.
Q: What makes chromium-vanadium steel a good choice for impact sockets?
A: Chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) steel is a high-grade alloy known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, toughness, and resistance to cracking under high-torque impact loads. It's the industry-standard material used in professional-grade hand tools and sockets precisely because it can handle repeated heavy-duty use without deforming.
Q: Can I use this socket for automotive drive shaft work?
A: Absolutely. The 78mm deep profile and 6-point hex design make this socket especially well-suited for drive shaft fasteners, wheel hub nuts, and other recessed or hard-to-reach automotive bolts that require a deep-reach socket and high torque capability.
Q: Does the socket include a ball catch or retention feature?
A: Yes. This impact socket features a ball catch groove and retention hole, which keeps it firmly seated on the drive tool during use — reducing the risk of the socket slipping off when working in awkward positions or under load.
