Impact Socket 1-Inch Drive, 41mm Hex, High-Depth Design

Brief Overview

This 1-inch drive impact socket is engineered for professional mechanics and shop operations requiring reliable fastening solutions on larger industrial fasteners. The 41mm hex size addresses mid-to-large bolt applications common in automotive assembly, heavy equipment service, and industrial maintenance. The high-depth design provides extended reach on recessed or difficult-to-access fasteners—a critical advantage when working on modern engine bays and transmission housings. This socket is part of a comprehensive range of 1-inch drive impact sockets designed to maximize your shop's fastening coverage without inventory bloat.

Key Features

• Six-point internal hex profile – Distributes load evenly across fastener flats, reducing rounding and cam-out during high-torque applications
• High-depth design – Extended reach for recessed or countersunk fasteners; critical for modern engine and transmission work
• Hardened steel construction – Dark phosphate finish resists corrosion and extends tool life in humid shop environments
• Impact-grade rated – Engineered for pneumatic impact wrenches; handles sudden load reversals without fracture
• Square drive recess with retaining pin groove – Positive engagement with 1-inch drive tools; integrated detent prevents accidental socket ejection
• Chamfered entry – Eases socket alignment onto fasteners, reducing installation time and hand fatigue

Business Advantages for Resellers

Shop Coverage & Turnover: The 41mm size sits in the mid-large fastener range—a high-velocity segment in automotive service. Mechanics rarely stock this size in sufficient depth, creating immediate sell-through potential when positioned alongside neighboring socket sizes.

Durability & Reduced Returns: Impact-grade hardening minimizes fracture claims and warranty issues. The high-depth design reduces the need for socket extensions, lowering the total cost of ownership per fastener and improving customer satisfaction.

Margin Opportunity: This socket commands better pricing than shallow alternatives due to the extended design and impact rating. Position it as a "premium reach solution" for shops upgrading from inferior tools.

Professional Application Context

• Automotive service: Suspension bolts, differential fasteners, engine mount hardware
• Heavy equipment maintenance: Hydraulic cylinder rod fasteners, transmission cover bolts
• Industrial assembly: Large-diameter industrial fasteners requiring precision hex engagement
• Fleet maintenance: Standardized fastener sizes across vehicle fleets

This is a core tool for any shop running 1-inch drive impact systems. Stock it confidently—it will move.
