Grey Pneumatic 1019MG 3/8" Drive 19 mm Standard Magnetic Impact Socket
- The Grey Pneumatic 1019MG (part number 1019MG) is a 19 mm magnetic impact socket with a 3/8-inch drive, designed for general automotive, industrial, and maintenance use. It offers secure magnetic retention, hardened strength, and dimensions suitable for standard-length socket tasks.
- Features:
- Strong built-in magnet holds fasteners in place securely, minimizing dropped bolts and improving handling in tight or overhead locations.
- 6-point configuration for maximum contact on fastener flats, reducing rounding under impact torque.
- Standard socket length (not deep) provides compact fit in tighter spaces while still allowing sufficient engagement.
- Made from alloy steel with heat treatment for strength and durability under repeated torque loads.
- Black-oxide or similarly dark-coated finish resists corrosion; size and drive markings are hard-stamped for clear identification.

Grey Pneumatic’s 1019MG offers reliable magnetic retention, solid strength, and standard size for everyday impact-rated work. It is well suited for automotive repairs, maintenance tasks, or in any setting where fastener handling and access in mid depths are needed.
Q: What benefit does the magnetic feature bring to this socket?
A: The built-in magnet holds fasteners in place, reducing dropping or misalignment, especially useful in overhead work or difficult access situations.
Q: Is this socket safe for use with impact wrenches?
A: Yes. This is an impact-rated socket made of heat-treated alloy steel. It is designed for use with impact tools.
Q: In what situations would I prefer this “standard” length socket over a “deep” socket?
A: Standard length sockets are shorter and thus better for tight or shallow spaces. They offer better stability and are less likely to twist under torque than long or deep sockets when full depth is not required. The 1019MG's ~30 mm length is appropriate for many mid-depth fastener tasks.
