Super Slim-Power Impact Socket, 1/2-Inch Drive, 6-Point, 21mm

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built slim impact socket engineered specifically for aluminum wheel applications and confined spaces where standard sockets won't fit. The thin-wall design combined with a replaceable protective plastic sleeve prevents rim damage and marring while maintaining the durability of Cr-Mo steel construction. Part of a complete range—pair this with smaller slim impact sockets or mid-range alternatives to cover all common wheel sizes in your shop inventory.

Why This Socket Matters

Aluminum wheels dominate modern vehicles, and standard impact sockets are too thick to work safely between spokes. This slim-wall socket bridges the gap with its narrower profile while the plastic sleeve absorbs vibration and prevents costly cosmetic damage to high-value wheels. Professional shops cannot complete wheel service without these, and the replaceable sleeve extends product lifespan—a genuine value-add for your customers.

Stock this size as part of your slim impact socket range to serve every wheel-removal and installation job with confidence.
