Details

A Tekton universal joint impact socket has a reduced height compared to a universal joint with shallow length socket. The universal joint impact socket is marked with a letter "A", the universal joint is marked with a letter "B", and the shallow length socket on the universal joint is marked with a letter "C".

Compact Design for Tight Spaces

These sockets are shorter than our shallow length impact sockets on U-joints, allowing access into tighter areas. One less connection point creates a stiffer joint reducing the loss of impact power.
A: Universal joint socket #SID18115. B: Universal joint #SIA12102. C: Shallow length socket #SID12115
Exact dimensions can be found in the specs section of each product.

30-Degree Working Angle

The joint rotates smoothly and continuously at up to a 30-degree angle.

6-Sided Pinless Joint

Our solid ball-and-socket-style joint is stronger than joints that use pins. The 6-sided ball operates more smoothly than 4-lug designs.

Parts and Assembly

The socket base and ball/socket are coated with a corrosion-resistant manganese phosphate finish.
The universal joint impact socket comes pre-lubricated with SuperLube Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease (NLGI 2) with Syncolon® (PTFE). Maintain the lubrication using this grease or a comparable grease as needed to reduce wear over time.

Prevents Fastener Round-Off

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

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.
