Q: Is this socket suitable for use with impact wrenches?
A: Yes. It is specifically designed as an impact socket, intended for use under the forces generated by pneumatic or electric impact tools.
Q: What are the advantages of a semi-deep socket versus a standard socket?
A: Semi-deep sockets give added depth to reach recessed fasteners, while maintaining more wall thickness than deep sockets, preserving strength in high-torque situations.
Q: Can this socket resist corrosion in workshop environments?
A: Yes. The black oxide coating helps protect the socket from rust and corrosion under typical workshop exposure.
