Designed for use with impact tools. Made of stronger, thicker-walled material (usually chrome molybdenum) to withstand high torque and resist shattering.
1/2" Square Drive
Refers to the size of the square end that connects to a wrench or ratchet. 1/2" is a common size for mid- to heavy-duty applications. Compatible with many impact wrenches.
6-Point (Hex)
The socket has six contact points that grip the flat sides of a hexagonal fastener. Provides better torque transfer and reduces the chance of rounding bolts. Best for high-torque applications.
