Impact Socket 12-Point 12mm 1/2-Inch Drive, Chrome-Moly Construction

Brief Overview

This 12mm impact socket is engineered for professional mechanics and service shops relying on pneumatic impact tools. The 12-point design provides secure engagement with fasteners while minimizing cam-out risk—a critical advantage in high-torque environments. Built from chrome-moly steel with impact-grade construction, this socket delivers durability that justifies the investment across high-volume operations. For shops running mixed metric sets, consider pairing this with 10mm impact sockets and larger 30mm variants to cover essential fastener ranges.

Key Features

• 12-Point Internal Profile: Reduces fastener rounding and cam-out, essential for repeated use on stubborn or corroded bolts
• 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with standard impact wrenches and pneumatic tools
• Chrome-Moly Construction: Superior impact resistance compared to standard steel; designed to absorb shock loads without cracking
• Phosphate Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating extends tool life in damp workshop environments
• Locking Pin Groove: Detent mechanism prevents socket ejection during rapid impacts, improving operator safety and workflow efficiency
• Deep Socket Design: 78mm overall length provides access to recessed fastener applications

Why This Socket Matters

Impact sockets differ fundamentally from hand-tool sockets: they absorb energy spikes from pneumatic impacts without fracturing. The 12-point design is the professional choice when fasteners show signs of wear or rounding. At 78mm length, this socket reaches recessed bolts on engine blocks and transmission housings—common pain points for mechanics working on domestic and import vehicles.
