Nonmarring 6-Point Sockets
With a plastic insert, these sockets firmly grip hex nuts and bolts without rounding them or scratching highly polished finishes. They’re often used in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical plants, since they won’t leave grooves where bacteria could grow and are also FDA compliant to safely touch food. An O-ring secures the insert so it won’t fall out, but still lets you remove the insert by hand once it’s worn down. Attach these sockets to hand-driven tools only.

Nonmarring 6-Point Impact Sockets
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. Remove the outer sleeve for a thinner profile when working in tight spaces. Each size is a different color for easy identification.
