Description

Impact Socket 1-Inch Drive, 55mm Deep High-Profile, Six-Point Design

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade impact socket designed for 1-inch square drive pneumatic impact wrenches. The 55mm hex recess and high-profile (deep) construction make it ideal for accessing fasteners on recessed bolt patterns where standard shallow sockets cannot reach. The impact-rated phosphate coating and reinforced wall thickness absorb shock loads without cracking or deforming. If you stock multiple drive depths, consider pairing this with smaller hex impact sockets and larger high-profile variants to serve the full range of shop requirements.

Key Features

  • 1-Inch Square Drive Connection: Fits all standard 1-inch drive impact tools and ratchets
  • 55mm Hex Recess: Precision-machined six-point socket for secure fastener engagement
  • Deep Profile Design: 85mm total length provides extended reach into recessed or sub-surface bolt locations
  • Impact-Rated Construction: Phosphate-finished matte black coating with thick, reinforced walls designed to withstand repeated shock loads from pneumatic impact wrenches
  • Detent Hole: Integrated pin or ball detent hole on the drive shank for secure socket retention
  • Chamfered Top Edge: Prevents socket binding and extends fastener life by reducing corner wear

Why Resellers Choose This Socket

Stock Depth & Customer Retention:
The 55mm hex size addresses a critical gap in general automotive and industrial repair. Customers needing to reach deep-set fasteners (transmission pans, engine blocks, suspension components) will return repeatedly if you have the right depth in inventory. High-profile sockets create customer loyalty because standard shallow sockets simply cannot do the job.

Durability Justifies Markup:
Impact-rated construction means fewer callbacks and warranty claims. A socket that survives 500 impacts without cracking builds your reputation and reduces returns. Your margin per unit is protected by the socket's longevity.

Bulk Order Economics:
Stock 55mm sockets alongside the 50mm and 75mm sizes to create a complete deep-socket line. Mechanics often buy in sets or rotate between sizes during a single job—this drives higher transaction values and repeat orders.
