Martin 17630 15/16" Deep Impact Socket, 1" Drive, 3" Length, 6-Point
- The Martin 17630 is a heavy-duty, 15/16 inch inside opening deep impact socket built for industrial and power tool use; it features a 1 inch square drive and a 3 inch overall length to reach recessed fasteners with a 6-point profile for secure torque transfer.
- Features:
- Deep design (3 inch length) — gives extra reach for recessed or hard-to-access fasteners
- 6-point internal profile — maximizes contact with fasteners and reduces rounding risk under heavy torque
- Hot-forged alloy steel construction with industrial black finish — durable under impact loading
- Fits standard 1 inch drive impact wrenches — integrates with existing heavy tooling
- Type I deep style — balance between reach and structural robustness for impact use

Martin’s 17630 is engineered for heavy industrial and power impact applications. Its deep reach and robust 6-point design provide reliable torque delivery while minimizing fastener damage.
Q: Is this socket safe for use with impact wrenches?
A: Yes. It’s forged from tough alloy steel and rated for impact use in heavy duty applications. Use it only with appropriate impact-rated tools.
Q: What advantage does the 6-point profile give over 12-point?
A: The 6-point configuration gives more surface contact on the flats of the fastener, reducing slippage and minimizing rounding under high torque loads.
Q: Why choose a deep (3 inch) socket instead of a standard one?
A: The deep length allows you to reach recessed fasteners or those with long studs or threads that a shallow socket cannot accommodate.
