Tekton 1/2 Inch Drive 6-Point Impact Socket – 1-1/2 Inch Deep
This professional-grade impact socket is designed for high-torque automotive applications requiring a 1/2 inch drive.
The TEKTON SID23038 is a heavy-duty 6-point impact socket engineered for use with pneumatic, cordless, or cordless impact wrenches. Built to withstand the stresses of industrial and automotive repair work, it features a 1/2 inch drive size and a depth of 1-1/2 inches. The 6-point design provides a more secure grip on fasteners compared to standard sockets, reducing the risk of rounding off bolts in tight spaces. Buyers evaluating this tool should consider the specific bolt head size required for their project, as this profile identifies the socket's drive and depth rather than its outer diameter. When comparing options, users should look at material durability, point configuration, and compatibility with their existing impact wrench set to ensure proper fitment and performance.
