The Proto 1/2-Inch Drive Deep Impact Socket features a 12-point TorquePlus internal design that engages fastener flats rather than corners, allowing for quick and easy socket-to-fastener engagement. This high-performance drive configuration employs a radius-corner design that shifts contact area and stress away from fastener corners, distributing load over a larger surface area to minimize slippage and reduce fastener damage.
Ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners as well as fasteners made from soft materials, this deep impact socket delivers reliable torque transfer in demanding applications. The deep profile provides added reach for recessed fasteners commonly found in automotive, industrial, and MRO settings.
