Grey Pneumatic 1116U 3/8" Drive 1/2" Universal 12-Point Standard Impact Socket
- The Grey Pneumatic 1116U universal impact socket (3/8" drive, 1/2" socket end) is designed for high torque automotive, industrial, and maintenance tasks; its 12-point universal end improves access in tight spaces and the standard length allows for reliable strength transfer under impact tools.
- Features:
- 12-point universal socket end fits both standard and rounded fasteners for better grip and less slippage.
- High torque drive design transfers pressure from thinner wall sections toward thicker parts to allow up to 20 percent more torque than standard sockets.
- Made from chrome-molybdenum alloy steel to withstand the stresses of frequent impact wrench use.
- Standard length provides balance between reach and strength without excessive overhang in tight work areas.
- Extra large size markings and clear part number stamping enable fast identification in the toolbox.
- Backed by Grey Pneumatic’s lifetime warranty for defects in materials or workmanship.

- The Grey Pneumatic 1116U impact socket can also be referred to as universal impact socket 1/2-inch, GN1116U 12-point socket, 3/8-drive universal impact, standard universal impact socket, and GP1116U.
Grey Pneumatic designs the 1116U to meet demanding professional and industrial requirements; this tool features precision machining, rigorous heat treatment, and robust alloy steel to deliver long life and high performance under impact loads.
Q: Is the 1116U suitable for use with an impact wrench?
A: Yes; the 1116U is built as an impact-rated socket, suitable for use with 3/8" drive impact wrenches and drivers.
Q: What makes the universal 12-point design different from a 6-point?
A: The 12-point universal end allows more angles of engagement and easier use in confined spaces, especially when access is limited; it also helps reduce the risk of fastener rounding in tricky angles.
Q: Can this socket handle high torque applications without failure?
A: Yes; thanks to its high torque drive design, thick-wall force transfer, and chrome-molybdenum alloy steel construction, the 1116U is made to endure heavy loads. Regular inspection for wear, cracks, or deformation is recommended to maintain safety and performance.
