Sockets & Impact Sockets
Impact Sockets
Impact sockets are specially designed to cope with the vibrations and high torque impact from modern impact tools. Made from a more malleable material which allows them to withstand sudden force without shattering, impact sockets are indispensable in heavy-duty applications. The automotive industry heavily relies on these tools for tasks such as removing car wheels, engine mounts, and other critical components. Moreover, they are equally essential in construction and manufacturing settings, where pneumatic impact wrenches and electric impact drivers are commonly used. Differentiating themselves with their robust construction, impact sockets ensure safety and efficiency in high-load tasks.
Sockets
Standard sockets are the go-to tool for fastening and loosening nuts and bolts in virtually any low to medium torque situation. These can be found in a vast range of sizes and drives to match the specific requirements of the task at hand. Sockets are crafted from a hard steel, suitable for general use across a broad range of applications, from household repair jobs to more demanding mechanical tasks within automotive or electronic repair industries. They are normally used with hand tools like ratchets and torque wrenches, though some are compatible with pneumatic and electrical devices as well. Each industry selects socket sizes and styles based on their hardware specifications and accessibility needs, making sockets a fundamental component in maintenance and assembly work across various sectors.
