Description

1/2" Drive Impact Torx Socket

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade impact Torx socket engineered for high-torque pneumatic and electric impact tools. Built from chrome-molybdenum steel with a matte impact finish, it delivers reliable performance across a comprehensive range of Torx sizes—from T30 through T80. Whether you're assembling automotive components under production timelines or performing heavy industrial fastening, this socket accommodates the torque demands of the task. For shops requiring multiple sizes, consider pairing this with a complete Torx impact socket set for streamlined inventory management.

Key Features

  • Chrome-Molybdenum Construction: Engineered to withstand repeated impact loading without deformation or fracture
  • Impact-Rated Design: Optimized geometry prevents cam-out and bit slippage under high rotational stress
  • Wide Torque Range: Sizes scale from 37 Nm (T30) to 1041 Nm (T80), covering light-duty to heavy industrial applications
  • Standard 1/2" Drive: Compatible with all 1/2" square drive impact tools and ratchets
  • Consistent 78mm Length: Uniform shank length (except T45-T80 which scale appropriately) maintains accessibility in tight engine bays and assembly stations
  • Retaining Pin Cross-Hole: Integrated ball detent prevents socket separation during operation

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High Turnover Category: Impact sockets represent a steady revenue stream in professional shops—regular replacement due to wear drives repeat orders
  • Margin-Friendly: Industrial-grade tools command solid margins while remaining competitively priced against consumer alternatives
  • Versatile Application Base: Automotive technicians, industrial maintenance crews, and assembly line operations all require multiple sizes
  • Bulk Order Friendly: This range spans 9 distinct sizes, enabling you to stock complete sets or individual SKUs based on customer demand
  • Durable Product Lifecycle: Chrome-molybdenum construction means fewer warranty claims and better customer satisfaction

Application Context

This socket line serves two primary markets:

  1. Automotive Assembly: Electronic control modules, suspension fasteners, and brake components increasingly specify Torx fasteners. T30–T45 covers light-to-medium automotive work.
  2. Heavy Industrial: T50 and above address structural fastening, equipment assembly, and maintenance on machinery where sustained torque is critical.

The T70 specification (700 Nm capacity) represents the sweet spot for high-volume automotive and light-industrial demand.

Call to Value

Stock this range individually or as a complete set to serve the growing demand for impact-rated Torx solutions. With nine distinct sizes and proven chrome-molybdenum durability, you'll reduce customer downtime and build repeat business in a category that moves consistently in professional shops.
