Q: What does “magnetic” mean in this socket description?
A: The magnetic feature means the socket’s throat incorporates a magnet so that a fastener (bolt or nut) is held by the socket when inserted, helping prevent drops or slips especially in awkward positions.
Q: Will this socket work with impact wrenches?
A: Yes. The 1008DG is specified as an impact socket, designed with impact-rated material (high strength steel) and intended for use with air or electric impact tools.
Q: For what applications is the deep length socket useful?
A: Deep length sockets are useful when fasteners are recessed or when bolt threads extend beyond the nut. This model lets you reach those bolts without needing to use multiple extensions or risk cross-threading.
