Description

Universal Impact Joint – Square Drive, Impact-Rated

Brief Overview

This universal impact joint is engineered for professional mechanics and technicians who need reliable angled access in tight working spaces. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with an impact-rated design, it bridges connection points between your impact driver and sockets when direct alignment isn't possible. Pair it with precision universal joints or heavy-duty 3/4-inch drive alternatives to create a complete angled fastening system across multiple drive sizes.

Key Features

  • Cr-Mo Construction: Chromium-molybdenum steel body rated for impact tool operation—no deflection under pneumatic or manual impact stress
  • Spring-Loaded Detent Ball: Secures the male drive to the socket with positive retention; prevents accidental separation during operation
  • Full Articulation: 360-degree swivel joint allows continuous repositioning for angled fastening without disassembly
  • Matte Black Impact Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface optimized for workshop and field environments
  • Compact Design: Cylindrical body with minimal profile reduces space requirements in confined engine bays or assembly stations

Why Stock This for Your Shop

Operational Efficiency:
Universal joints eliminate the need for multiple socket extensions or repositioning. Technicians access fasteners at awkward angles in a single operation—reducing labor time and improving first-pass accuracy.

Tool System Compatibility:
Works seamlessly within existing impact tool ecosystems. One joint supports multiple socket sizes, maximizing utilization across your inventory.

Durability & Profitability:
Cr-Mo construction withstands repeated pneumatic impact cycles without wear or fatigue. Low return rates translate to higher profit margins and stronger customer satisfaction.
