Two Size Markings

The size is marked in two ways on every socket—both as a high-visibility laser marking and a permanent stamped marking.

Fully Stepped Shoulders

The narrowed socket diameter goes all the way down to the base of the socket on small deep-length sizes. This allows for better reach into tight, recessed areas.

Full-Length Socket Well

Not only is the socket a deep length, but the interior well also extends far into the socket, which allows for better fastener engagement in more situations.

Drive Tool Retention

Sockets work for both types of anvils found on 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches:

Prevents Fastener Round-Off

Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener's flat sides, rather than its corners.
