Torque Specifications
This socket meets a minimum of 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME standard for proof torque — meaning it handles well beyond standard hand-and-impact loads without cracking or deforming. Radiused corners apply force to the fastener's flats, not corners, preventing round-off under maximum torque.
