Q: What does "universal" mean in this context?
A: "Universal" refers to the socket’s ability to adapt to hex, square, splined, and other fastener shapes, reducing the need for multiple specific sockets.
Q: Why is the radius-corner design important?
A: It spreads torque across the flats of fasteners rather than the corners reducing rounding and extending both fastener and socket lifespan.
Q: Can this be used with standard 3/8-inch impact wrenches?
A: Yes, it’s forged from chrome molybdenum alloy steel and engineered specifically for compatibility with 3/8-inch drive impact tools and 17 mm fasteners.
