All Proto® impact sockets are made from special alloy steel, and heat treated for the correct balance of strength and hardness. One-piece construction ensures their concentricity. Socket wall thickness is optimized to provide maximum strength and ample access to restricted fasteners.
Proto® impact sockets incorporate the TORQUEPLUS™ wrenching system. This high-performance design allows the socket to contact the fastener away from the corner, while also spreading stress over a larger area. It lets the user apply up to 15% more torque to the fastener, reduces the risk of fastener rounding, and makes it easier to turn worn, rounded fasteners.
