Impact Socket

AKA: Heavy Duty Socket

Back To Tool List
Information

A heavy duty socket designed for use in high pressure applications, which necessitate the use of greater force than a typical socket could tolerate. An impact socket can be used with an impact driver to free up stuck bolts that can't be removed by hand or even with air-line tools like air ratchets.

Impact sockets are made from a stronger material and the walls are thicker, to resist damage from high-impact shock tools.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
