Proto, J7218S, Impact Socket, 8 Point, 3/8 in Drive, 9/16 in

Engineered for high-performance tasks, this 3/8 inch drive impact socket features an 8-point design that excels in engaging with stubborn or damaged fasteners, providing reliable service in demanding applications. The torqueplus configuration is a standout feature, allowing for quick socket engagement on the fastener flats, thereby minimizing slippage and prolonging the life of both the socket and fastener by distributing stress efficiently. Constructed with high-strength steel, this socket is designed to withstand the forces associated with impact tools, offering large clearance holes and a finely crafted fit for easy positioning, even in tight recesses. Whether you're tackling routine maintenance or dealing with particularly tough fasteners, this impact socket is a tool that promises precision and durability, making it an essential addition to any professional's toolkit.

Features

• The torqueplus design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners
• Impact sockets are designed to withstand higher torque and force associated with impact tools in repetitive application
• Proto 8 point impact sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials
• Large clearance holes, concentric opening and nut end chamfer make it easy to position socket on fasteners
• Drive end chamfer and four detents help provide quick positive engagement with drive tool on any of the socket drive walls
• Made from high strength steel to help minimize wall thickness and provide access to fasteners in recesses and where nuts and bolts protrude
• Tight tolerances for snug fit on fastener
• The torqueplus configuration employs a radius-corner design, shifting contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distributing contact stresses over a large area of the socket, minimizing slippage
• Impact sockets are used wherever powered drive tools are used to install or remove fasteners
• The torqueplus internal design minimizes fastener rounding, helps to extend fastener life, and allows the user to more easily turn worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners
