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

The interior well extends fully into the socket, which provides room to fit over long threaded studs.

Drive Tool Retention

Sockets work with 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.
