Socket 1/2 12 mm: SHOCKWAVE socket 38 mm

The socket belongs to the Sockets category, under Ratchets and sockets in Proffix hand tools. It is intended for professional use, for example in construction, installation, industry and the maintenance of machines and vehicles.

When do you choose a shockwave socket 1/2 12 x 38 mm?

This socket suits work where you use a 1/2 inch ratchet, torque wrench or impact wrench and have bolts or nuts of 12 mm. The name SHOCKWAVE usually indicates sockets that can handle heavier loads, such as with impact wrenches. Check the product specifications to see whether the socket is suitable for your tool and application.

What should you look for when choosing a socket?

First look at the drive: the square on your tool must match that of the socket. Then check the wrench size so the socket fits snugly around the bolt or nut. A socket that is too loose can damage the head. The length of 38 mm is useful when the bolt or nut is set deeper. For work in open, easily accessible spots, a shorter socket is often sufficient.
