Description

Impact Socket 1-Inch Drive, 46mm Deep, 6-Point

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade impact socket engineered for high-torque pneumatic impact wrenches. The 46mm deep profile positions it as a specialized fastener removal tool for applications requiring extended reach into recessed or hard-to-access bolt locations. Built with a matte black impact-rated finish and reinforced 6-point geometry, it delivers consistent performance under extreme rotational stress. Pair this deep socket with shorter-reach alternatives to build a complete 1-inch drive socket collection across your shop.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Internal Profile: Maximizes contact with fastener faces, reducing rounding and cam-out risk during high-torque applications
  • 46mm Deep Design: Extended reach for recessed bolts, studs, and fasteners in confined engine bays, transmission housings, or suspension assemblies
  • Impact-Rated Construction: Engineered to withstand shock loads from pneumatic impact wrenches without fracturing or deforming
  • Square Drive Retention Mechanism: Recessed groove accommodates standard 1-inch square drive retention systems, ensuring secure attachment to impact wrench
  • Matte Black Finish: Durable coating resists corrosion and provides professional appearance in high-use shop environments
  • Precision Machining: Visible forging texture indicates controlled manufacturing for consistent wall thickness and structural integrity

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Turnover Category: Impact sockets are consumable-adjacent items with regular replacement cycles in active shops
  • Margin-Friendly: Deep-profile variants command premium pricing compared to standard depths due to specialized application
  • Cross-Sell Opportunity: Customers purchasing specialized depths often buy complementary mid-range socket alternatives for varied fastener scenarios
  • Bulk Order Incentive: Mechanics and fleet shops maintain multiple socket depths; deep profile sockets justify volume purchases
  • Professional Positioning: Offering depth-specific options positions your inventory as complete and professional-grade

Value Proposition

The 46mm deep impact socket fills a critical gap in professional tool kits where standard shallow or medium-depth sockets cannot reach. The extended profile combined with 6-point geometry delivers superior fastener grip while the impact-rated construction ensures reliability under pneumatic tool stress. For resellers, this specialization justifies premium positioning and supports upsells to mechanics upgrading from consumer-grade tools to professional equipment.
