Use these sockets as an alternative to a screwdriver or L-key. They are made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

Tighten or loosen nuts and bolts without damaging the finish. The tough steel core of the socket withstands the high torque of impact tools, but the insert and outer sleeve are made of plastic, which won’t scratch chrome plating and other coatings. The hex shape achieves the best possible grip on hex fasteners to prevent rounding their points.

Carry fewer impact sockets—these five reversible impact sockets turn 10 fastener sizes. Flip the socket around to turn a different size. The hex shape grips hex fasteners and prevents stripping. Thicker and with more give than traditional sockets, impact sockets stand up better to the high torque and force of impact tools.

Use one socket to switch between two fastener sizes. The spring-loaded innermost wall stays in place for smaller fasteners; push the socket onto a larger fastener and this wall slides out of the way.

With twice as many corners, 12-point sockets grab onto hex-drive fasteners more quickly than 6-point sockets. They also match the external 12-point screws commonly found in heavy duty vehicles such as bulldozers and excavators. Also known as double-hex sockets. These sockets are sturdier and have more give than manual-drive sockets, so they'll withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

Turn square-drive fasteners in several sizes with these socket sets. The sockets fit more tightly on square drives than 8-point sockets, so they’re less likely to slip and chip the edges. Made to withstand the high force of impact drivers, they’re thicker and less rigid than standard sockets, so they’re less likely to fracture.

Attach your impact square-drive sockets to power drills, impact drivers, and other tools that accept a hex shank. The adapters in these sets are made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

Prevent overtightening that can damage fasteners. These adapters spring back slightly when the set torque is reached. They are made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

Remove and install dual wheels on trucks and trailers with the sockets in these sets. The sockets are extra deep for use with Budd wheels, so you can remove both the nut and the stud with a single socket. Sets include sockets for hex drives to access lug nuts and sockets for square drives to turn the threaded shafts on inner wheels. All are impact sockets, made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools. Use them with an impact wrench that has a pin-style socket retainer, or use a socket retaining ring with tools that have a hole- or hole-and-ring-style socket retainer.

Extra-long bits help you access hard-to-reach fasteners. These sockets are sturdier and have more give than manual-drive sockets, so they'll withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

Pivot the head to access fasteners from an angle. These sockets are sturdier and have more give than manual-drive sockets, so they'll withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

The hole in the middle of these bits fits the security pin in tamper-resistant Torx screws. Also known as pin-in Torx bits. These sockets are sturdier and have more give than manual-drive sockets, so they'll withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

The Torx bit sockets in these sets fasten Torx screws often used in vehicles, bicycles, and electronics. Also known as star drives. These sockets are sturdier and have more give than manual-drive sockets, so they'll withstand the high torque and force of impact tools. You can use these bit sockets to drive fasteners with a Torx Plus drive style, but they won't grip as well.
