TEKTON SID18006 3/8 Inch Drive x 1/4 Inch Universal Joint Impact Socket is the compact impact socket for driving fasteners at angles up to 30 degrees in tight spaces. At the current online price of $9.00, buy online today for an affordable, single-socket solution.
Design and Function
The joint rotates smoothly and continuously at up to a 30-degree angle. The solid 6-sided pinless ball-and-socket style joint is stronger than pinned joints, and the 6-sided ball operates more smoothly than 4-lug designs – ideal for impact work at offset angles.
Materials and Durability
The socket base is forged from 4140 chromium-molybdenum steel; the ball/socket piece uses 8660 nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel. A manganese phosphate coating resists corrosion on both pieces.
Compatibility
Smooth walls inside the drive end plus a detent pin hole make this socket compatible with both friction ring and detent pin anvils. Size is marked with high-visibility laser etching and a permanent stamp.
