Stanley® Proto® 6 Point 1" Drive Impact Socket measuring 2 1/2" is made of forged alloy steel and is designed to use with stubborn or damaged fasteners that are made from soft materials. Socket has a design that allows for quick/easy socket engagement to the fastener flats and minimizes rounding/slippage. It is heat treated for the correct balance of strength, hardness and employs a radius-corner design that shifts contact area and stress away from the fastener. It has a black oxide finish and allows up to 15% more torque to be applied to the fastener.
Features
Proto® 6 Point Impact Sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials
The TorquePlus™ design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners
The TorquePlus™ configuration employs a radius-corner design, shifting contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distributing contact stresses over a large area of the socket, minimizing slippage
The TorquePlus™ internal design minimizes fastener rounding, helps to extend fastener life, and allows the user to more easily turn worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners
