Description

3/4-Inch Drive E-Type Short Impact Socket, E20 Torx, 51mm Length

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built impact socket engineered for professional technicians working with E-type (Torx) fasteners. The E20 Torx profile delivers precise engagement without cam-out, while the short 51mm length provides superior access in tight engine bays and confined work spaces. The 3/4-inch square drive ensures compatibility with industrial-grade impact wrenches and air tools. For shops working with diverse fastener profiles, complementary options like 6-point impact sockets and E24 Torx variants round out a complete fastening toolkit.

Key Features

  • E20 Torx Profile: Precision-engineered female recess matches E20 Torx fasteners exactly, eliminating rounding and slippage
  • 51mm Short Length: Compact design maximizes clearance in engine compartments and tight assembly areas
  • CR-MO Steel Construction: Chromium-molybdenum alloy absorbs shock loads and resists fracturing under rapid-fire impact use
  • 3/4-Inch Square Drive: Direct compatibility with 3/4″ drive impact wrenches and air-powered ratchets
  • Retaining Ring Groove: Integrated locking mechanism prevents accidental socket ejection during operation
  • Matte Impact-Grade Finish: Protective surface resists corrosion and provides visual durability assurance to end users
