Impact Socket 1-Inch Drive, 30mm Hex, High-Profile Design

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade impact socket engineered for high-torque pneumatic and electric impact tools. Built from forged steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers the shock absorption and durability required for heavy-duty fastening applications. The 30mm hex size positions this socket in the medium-to-heavy fastener range, making it an essential addition to any shop tool inventory. If you're stocking 1-inch drive impact sets, consider pairing this with larger hex sockets for bigger fasteners or complementary smaller sizes to offer your customers complete coverage.

Key Features

• 6-Point Hex Design: Maximizes contact with fastener corners, preventing cam-out and reducing corner rounding—critical for impact applications.
• High-Profile Configuration: Extended length (60mm) provides clearance in tight or recessed fastener environments without sacrificing strength.
• Forged Steel Construction: Superior shock resistance compared to cast alternatives; withstands repeated impact cycling without cracking.
• 1-Inch Square Drive: Industry-standard connection compatible with all professional-grade 1-inch impact wrenches and ratchets.
• Detent Pin Groove: Precision-machined retention groove ensures secure seating on the drive, reducing tool slippage and operator error.
• Black Oxide Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating protects against workshop moisture and extends tool lifespan.

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-Volume Demand: The 30mm hex size sees consistent turnover in automotive, industrial, and equipment maintenance sectors.
• Margin-Friendly: Impact sockets command premium margins due to perceived durability and professional positioning—your customers view this as a long-term investment.
• Bundle Opportunity: Stock this alongside other 1-inch drive hex sizes to create tiered socket sets at multiple price points, increasing average transaction value.
• Lower Return Rates: Professional-grade impact tools see minimal warranty claims when properly positioned to the right customer base (mechanics, technicians, industrial maintenance).
• Repeat Purchase Driver: Shops that buy impact sockets typically stock multiple sizes and upgrade when worn—establish customer loyalty early.

Application Context

This socket is purpose-built for:

• Automotive Service: Suspension bolts, wheel lugs, and engine bay fasteners where impact tools are standard practice.
• Heavy Equipment Maintenance: Structural and assembly bolts on agricultural, construction, and industrial machinery.
• Industrial Assembly: Production environments requiring fast, repeatable fastening without tool wear.

The 30mm hex size covers fasteners typically found on mid-to-large vehicles and equipment—not specialist niche applications, but steady, predictable demand.

Why Choose This Socket

Impact sockets differ fundamentally from chrome vanadium sockets: they're designed to absorb and dissipate shock rather than resist it. A standard socket under repeated impact will crack; this forged, high-profile design distributes that energy safely. The 6-point hex grips the fastener aggressively, reducing the slippage that causes bolt stripping and job delays.

For a distributor, this means fewer customer complaints and repeat sales—shops that strip fasteners with undersized tools will upgrade to proper-spec impact sockets.

Call to Value
