Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary material of this impact socket?
The socket is constructed from high-strength Chrome Molybdenum steel, known for its durability and resistance to impact.
What type of impact wrench is required for this socket?
This socket requires an impact wrench with a 1-inch square drive.
What is the 'WallDrive' design?
WallDrive is a design feature that provides a more secure grip on the fastener, engaging the flats rather than the corners, which enhances torque transfer and reduces the likelihood of rounding fasteners.
How does the phosphate finish benefit the socket?
The phosphate finish provides superior corrosion resistance, helping to protect the socket from rust and wear in harsh working conditions.
What is the weight of this socket?
The net weight of the 90mm socket is 4.31kg.
Does this socket come with a warranty?
Yes, this impact socket is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Can this socket be used with a standard ratchet or torque wrench?
No, this is a heavy-duty impact socket specifically designed for use with high-torque impact wrenches. It is not recommended for use with standard ratchets or torque wrenches.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit 1-inch drive wrench.
Ensure your impact wrench has a 1-inch square drive receiver. This socket is not compatible with 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch drives.
Difficulty loosening a tight fastener.
Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Check that your impact wrench is delivering sufficient torque. For extremely stubborn fasteners, consider using a penetrating oil and allowing it to soak before re-attempting.
Socket appears to be rounding the fastener.
The WallDrive design is intended to prevent this. Ensure the socket is properly seated and applying force evenly. If the fastener is already severely rounded, specialized fastener removal tools may be required.
Socket shows signs of rust or corrosion.
While the phosphate finish offers protection, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Clean the socket thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to the surface. Store in a dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Compatibility:
- This socket is designed exclusively for use with 1-inch square drive impact wrenches. Ensure your impact wrench has a 1-inch drive receiver.
- Verify that the fastener size (90mm) matches the bolt or nut you intend to work with.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, clean the socket with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, grease, and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the phosphate finish.
- Storage: Store the socket in a dry environment. A tool chest or dedicated socket organizer is recommended to prevent damage and corrosion.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the socket for signs of excessive wear or damage, especially around the drive opening and the WallDrive surfaces. Replace if significant damage is observed to ensure safety and performance.
