SUNEX Tools 242XD 1/2-Inch Drive 1-5/16-Inch Extra Deep Impact Socket

1/2-Inch Drive Extra Deep Impact Socket

This 1/2-inch drive 1-5/16-inch extra deep impact socket is built for professional and industrial applications where fasteners sit on long bolts, studs, or threaded rod. Its extended reach goes beyond standard deep sockets to engage hardware that standard lengths cannot access. The six-point geometry maximises contact with fastener flats to reduce rounding and improve torque transfer. It is suited for technicians who need reliable engagement in deep recesses.

CR-MO Alloy Steel With Black Phosphate Finish

Constructed from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, the socket withstands high-torque impact forces without deformation. The industrial black phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance for extended service life in harsh shop environments. Radius corner design grips fastener flats rather than corners, further reducing rounding risk. Dual laser-etched and stamped markings ensure quick size identification in low-light conditions.

Replaces Standard Deep Sockets On Extended Threads

This socket upgrades from standard deep sockets when fastener depth exceeds their reach, such as on long studs, tie rods, or through-bolt assemblies. The jump is worth it when standard lengths bottom out before the nut engages, forcing improvised extensions that compromise torque accuracy. It is not for buyers who need shallower clearance or drive sizes other than 1/2 inch.
