Impact Socket 1-Inch Drive, 38mm High-Profile, 6-Point

Brief Overview

This 38mm impact socket is purpose-built for high-torque pneumatic impact applications in automotive, industrial, and heavy equipment maintenance. The high-profile design accommodates fasteners requiring deeper engagement, while the 1-inch square drive integrates seamlessly with standard impact wrenches and related high-torque impact tools. The 6-point internal profile provides reliable grip on hexagonal fasteners, minimizing cam-out and damage to bolt heads—critical for professional shops processing high-volume work.

Key Features

• 1-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with pneumatic impact wrenches and 1-inch drive assemblies
• 38mm Socket Opening: Engineered specifically for 38mm fasteners (common in heavy vehicle and industrial applications)
• High-Profile Design: Extended reach for fasteners requiring deeper socket engagement
• 6-Point Internal Geometry: Precision-machined hex profile distributes impact force evenly, reducing fastener damage
• Impact-Rated Construction: Thick-walled, heat-treated steel with reinforced drive end to withstand repetitive pneumatic shock loads
• Detent Hole & Retaining Slot: Accommodates retaining pins or balls for secure attachment to impact wrench
• Matte Dark Finish: Durable coating provides corrosion resistance and professional appearance

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Demand Size: The 38mm socket is a workhorse fastener size in heavy truck, agricultural, and construction equipment maintenance—consistent volume opportunity
• Professional-Grade Durability: Impact-rated construction minimizes returns and warranty claims, protecting your reputation and margin
• Bulk Order Efficiency: Available as part of a comprehensive socket system ranging from 27mm to 105mm, allowing resellers to offer complete kits or curated collections

Why This Socket Works

At 38mm, this socket targets the fastener sizes found on heavy-duty equipment where impact wrenches are non-negotiable: truck wheel hubs, industrial machinery bolts, and agricultural implement fasteners. The 65mm length provides reach without excessive leverage imbalance, while the 22mm wall thickness absorbs the cyclic shock of pneumatic impact without premature failure. For professional shops, this is a wear item that justifies regular replacement cycles—ideal for your consumable sales strategy.
