160 IMPACT SOCKETS & ACCESSORIES 04 All SP Tools IMPACT sockets and accessories are manufactured from high grade chrome MOLYBDENUM steel and exceed international DIN standards. Designed to withstand the rigours of industrial and trade use. FLAT DRIVE TECHNOLOGY MAXIMISES CONTACT ON THE FLAT SIDES OF THE BOLT OR NUT, NOT THE POINTS. FLAT DRIVE Technology Impact Sockets are designed to receive higher torque loads, which are delivered by a percussive method. This load needs to be accounted for in the design, therefore impact sockets are designed to be thicker and made from a more durable material. SP Tools has become the industry leader in standards for both large and small fasteners. SP impact sockets are constructed from chrome molybdenum steel, a ductile material that adds additional elasticity to the socket and tends to bend or stretch rather than shatter. SP Tools premium range of impact sockets and accessories have been designed to withstand the rigors of industrial use. Impact sockets are used on a wide and varied range of heavy industry applications like cars and trucks, mining equipment, maritime equipment, ocean liners, large-scale plumbing and piping, and installation of power generators, primarily because of its higher breaking strain. A normal hand socket is made from chrome which works well for small spaces where a component can be easily removed. It’s easier to manufacture a small standard socket, but with larger impact sockets, you need a better quality, more flexible material. To put the importance of an impact socket’s quality in perspective, if you apply several thousand pounds of torque through an inferior tool, the part will explode doing grave damage to its surroundings. Therefore, the quality of an impact socket is also paramount to the safety of workers. The material difference between a standard chrome hand socket and impact socket is that an impact socket is made from chrome molybdenum steel. Molybdenum is a strong mineral, graphite coloured in appearance and the impact socket endcast is constructed from this compound, resulting in a more solid tool through and through. The SP tools impact socket category covers a very large range of drive sizes. The drive sizes include connection point sizes ranging from as small as 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, up to 1”, 1-1/2”, 2-1/2”. In addition to this, SP Tools manufactures a large range of specialty impact sockets and accessories such as wheel-nut sockets for both cars and trucks, extension bars, wobble drives and many adaptors to get the right size socket onto job.
