Two Size Markings The size is marked in two ways on every socketboth as a high-visibility laser marking and a permanent stamped marking
Full-Length Socket Well While the overall socket is a shallow length, the interior well extends fully into the socket, which allows for better fastener engagement in more situations
Works with Friction Ring or Detent Pin Anvils Smooth walls inside the drive end and a detent pin hole make the sockets compatible with both drive tool anvil types
Prevents Fastener Round-Off Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener’s flat sides, rather than its corners
High-Performing Steel Alloys The sockets in this set are made from either 50BV30 Chromium-Vanadium (Cr-V) or 4140 Chromium-Molybdenum (Cr-Mo), depending on the size, and have a corrosion-resistant manganese phosphate coating
Tekton shallow impact sockets have two size markingsboth a high-visibility laser marking and a permanent stamped marking. The interior well of the socket extends fully into the socket, which allows for better fastener engagement in more situations. Each socket works with both friction ring and detent pin anvils. Smooth walls without grooves support friction ring engagement, and a detent pin hole on one side allows you to decide whether to engage the pin. Radiused corners on the socket prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener’s flat sides, rather than its corners. Part by part, we choose the best combination of steel alloys, heat treating specifications, and forming processes to meet the highest performance requirements. All pieces in this set have a corrosion-resistant manganese phosphate coating.
