    For easy tightening and loosening, these sockets have pins that grip the slotted sides on bearing nuts. These sockets require less clearance around bearings than standard hook spanner wrenches, so they’re good in tight spaces. Use them with a square-drive wrench handle or a ratchet wrench; they’re not for use with impact wrenches.

    6-Point Impact Sockets with Spline Drive

    Attach these sockets to your spline-drive impact wrench. These tools are typically used where high torque is required, such as heavy equipment in the aerospace and automotive industries. The hex shape of the fastening end of these sockets achieves the best possible grip on hex fasteners to prevent rounding their points. These sockets are sturdier and have more give than manual-drive sockets, so they'll withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.
