Impact Socket 12-Point 32mm 1/2-Inch Drive, Chrome-Moly Construction
Brief Overview
This 32mm impact socket is purpose-built for pneumatic impact wrenches and high-torque fastening operations. The 12-point geometry distributes force efficiently across fastener corners, reducing cam-out and fastener damage during removal and installation. The deep socket design provides excellent reach for recessed fasteners on automotive and industrial applications. Available as part of a complete range of 12-point impact sockets, this socket integrates seamlessly into professional shop inventories.
Key Features
- 12-Point Internal Profile: Reduces rounding of fastener corners; engages fastener flats more securely than 6-point designs
- Deep Socket Design: Extended reach (78mm total length) accommodates recessed or deeply seated fasteners
- Chrome-Moly Construction: Impact-rated material withstands repeated pneumatic hammer strikes without fracturing
- 1/2-Inch Square Drive: Universal compatibility with standard impact wrench chucks and drive extensions
- Matte Black Finish: Durable surface coating resists corrosion and provides clear contrast for size markings
- Retention Hole: Integral detent pin hole ensures secure fitment on drive without accidental disengagement
- Stepped Shoulder Design: Structural reinforcement at the drive junction maximizes durability under cyclic loading
