IMPACT SOCKETS

IMPACT SOCKETS

Impact sockets are designed for use with powered impact wrenches or 'drivers', as they are sometimes called. Impact wrenches can be powered pneumatically (by compressed air), electrically, or hydraulically (oil).

The combination of an impact wrench and impact socket can deliver greater torque to the head of a fastener than can be achieved with a manual wrench

Features

• • Can be used with both impact and powered turning tools as well as manual ones
• • Less chance of injury from sockets shattering
• • Can be used to apply greater torque to a fastener
