Product Information

Full details

This 15-piece 1" drive shallow impact socket set from US PRO Tools is designed for heavy-duty workshop and industrial applications requiring high torque fastening. It offers a robust selection of 6-point sockets, essential tools like a 1" drive ratchet head and sliding T-bar, plus extension bars for added reach. While providing excellent durability and performance for demanding tasks, users should ensure their equipment is compatible with the 1" drive size.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of 6-point sockets over 12-point sockets for impact use?

6-point sockets provide a stronger grip on the fastener's flats, reducing the risk of cam-out (slipping) and minimizing the chance of rounding the fastener head under high torque, which is crucial for impact applications.

Can I use these sockets with a standard non-impact ratchet?

Yes, these sockets can be used with a standard 1" drive non-impact ratchet. However, they are specifically designed and optimized for the higher forces and rotational impacts generated by impact wrenches.

What materials are the sockets made from?

While not explicitly stated, impact sockets of this nature are typically forged from high-strength steel alloys to withstand impact forces. The black phosphate finish is a surface treatment for protection.

How do I select the correct socket size?

Measure the fastener's head (bolt head or nut) across its flats. The socket size should match these dimensions. The set includes metric sizes from 22mm to 46mm.

Is this set suitable for precision torque applications?

This set is primarily designed for high-torque, impact applications. For precision torque settings, a separate torque wrench and appropriate non-impact sockets are recommended.

What is the significance of the 'shallow' designation for the sockets?

Shallow sockets have a shorter overall depth compared to deep sockets. This makes them ideal for accessing fasteners on the surface or where clearance is limited, though they may not fit over long studs.

How often should I lubricate the tools?

Lubrication is primarily recommended for rust prevention on the tool surfaces, especially after cleaning or if stored for extended periods. The internal mechanisms of the ratchet generally do not require user lubrication unless experiencing issues.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit securely onto the fastener.

Ensure you are using the correct size socket and that both the socket's internal drive and the fastener's head are clean and free from debris.

Ratchet head slips or does not engage properly.

Check the ratchet mechanism for debris or damage. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the drive. If using the T-bar, verify it's correctly attached to the ratchet head.

Extension bar feels loose.

Confirm that the drive detent or pin on the extension bar is properly engaged with the tool and the socket. Ensure the connection points are clean.

Surface rust appearing on tools.

Clean the affected area with a rust remover or fine steel wool. Apply a light protective oil coating and store in a dry environment or the provided case.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for high-torque impact applications.
  • Durable black phosphate finish offers superior corrosion resistance.
  • Includes essential accessories like extension bars and a T-bar handle.
  • 6-point sockets provide excellent grip and reduce fastener rounding.
  • Professional-grade 1" drive size suitable for heavy-duty use.

Cons

  • 1" drive size is specialized and may require compatible equipment.
  • Shallow sockets might not be suitable for deep-threaded fasteners.
  • Set focuses on impact sockets, may not cover all general socket needs.
  • Requires a powerful impact wrench or significant force for optimal use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the required socket size for the fastener.
  2. Attach the selected shallow impact socket to the 1" drive ratchet head or the sliding T-bar handle.
  3. If extra reach is needed, connect the appropriate extension bar between the ratchet head/T-bar and the socket.
  4. Ensure all connections are secure before applying force.

Compatibility:

  • This set utilizes a 1" (one-inch) square drive. Ensure that any driving tool (ratchet, impact wrench, torque multiplier) is also equipped with a 1" square drive connection.
  • The sockets are designed for impact use and are compatible with both manual ratchets and high-torque impact wrenches.

Care:

  • After use, clean sockets and accessories with a dry cloth or a degreaser to remove dirt and grime.
  • Apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, especially in humid environments.
  • Store all components in the provided storage case to protect them from damage and loss.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
  • Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage on the drive square and socket openings.
