  • Stubby design is 20 shorter for tight spots
  • Chrome Molybdenum steel with proprietary heat treatment for durability
  • Manganese phosphate coating resists corrosion better than black oxide
  • 6-point WaveDrive grips fasteners tightly and prevents rounding
  • Meets and exceeds ASME B107110 standards

Professional Impact Socket for Tight Spaces

The Capri Tools 32mm stubby impact socket uses a 12mm drive and a six-point WaveDrive profile. It is built from Chrome Molybdenum steel with a proprietary heat treatment and a manganese phosphate coating for corrosion resistance. The stubby length is 20mm shorter than standard shallow sockets. It is intended for professional mechanics and serious DIYers who need reliable access in confined areas.

Suited for High-Torque Confined Work

This socket suits technicians who regularly use impact wrenches in restricted engine bays or suspension components where a full-length socket cannot fit. The six-point design grips fastener flats to reduce rounding under heavy load. Buyers who need a full-length socket for deep recessed bolts or who require a different drive size should look at other options.

32mm Metric Size Determines Fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 32mm metric opening. It must match the fastener exactly; no other dimension in the description changes that requirement. Verify the bolt or nut size before purchase to ensure the correct fit.

Questions about this item

Does the 32 mm stubby impact socket generate heat or noise during extended use with a power tool?

The socket is a passive steel component; it produces no noise or heat of its own, though the driving tool will.

What drive size must the buyer already own to use this 12-inch drive socket?

A 12-inch drive impact wrench or ratchet is required to fit the socket.

Will the 6-point WaveDrive design work on older fasteners that have worn corners?

Yes, the 6-point profile grips the flats rather than the corners, reducing rounding on aged fasteners.
