Two Size Markings
![TEKTON Impact Socket Markings](https://media.tekton.com/images/details/impact-sockets/1-2-in-drive/tekton-impact-socket-markings-19-mm-mobile-2x.jpg)
The size is marked in two ways on every socket—both as a high-visibility laser marking and a permanent stamped marking.
Full-Length Socket Well
![TEKTON Impact Socket Well](https://media.tekton.com/images/details/impact-sockets/1-2-in-drive/tekton-impact-socket-engagement-2x.jpg)
While the overall socket is a standard length, the interior well extends fully 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:
Friction Ring Anvil |
Detent Pin Anvil |

Prevents Fastener Round-Off
![TEKTON Impact Socket Radiused Corners](https://media.tekton.com/images/details/impact-sockets/1-2-in-drive/tekton-impact-socket-radiused-corners-2x.png)
Prevents Fastener Round-Off
Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener’s flat sides rather than its corners.
Sockets Exceed ANSI Torque Standards
Each socket size meets a minimum of 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME standard for proof torque.
(A single-cycle test applies torque until a specified value is reached without failure or permanent deformation.)
