Impact Socket Bit Drivers

Impact wrenches and drivers are known for their ability to provide high torque output without requiring great effort on the operator's part. A series of sharp impacts is more effective to unscrew a bolt or nut than a relatively smooth effort transferred through a manual wrench, so air guns and other impact tools enjoy great popularity at service stations, workshops, and garages. However, employing an impact wrench with usual chrome-plated sockets is quite dangerous. They are not strong enough to resist impact and may quickly wear out, crack, or even break into pieces, which is fraught with serious injuries or damage to the gun.

Instead, use impact bit sockets made of a special chrome molybdenum alloy, also known as chromoly. If compared to chrome vanadium, the material of regular sockets, chromoly has higher impact resistance. To protect chromoly sockets and bits from corrosion, they are normally coated with manganese phosphate having a dark matte gray color. In our online store, you can find a large collection of impact bit sockets. Offered in numerous SAE and metric sizes, they come in different drive dimensions and tip standards including square, hex, Torx, and triple square.
