TEKTON SID22038 1/2 Inch Drive 6-Point Impact Socket

Professional Impact Socket

The TEKTON SID22038 is a 1/2 inch drive 6-point impact socket built for mechanics and serious DIYers who need reliable fastener engagement. It fits standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and is designed for high-torque applications where standard sockets would fail. Precise 6-point openings grip hex fastener flats to prevent rounding. Radiused corners direct force away from vulnerable corners for a secure hold.

Build Integration

This socket works with both friction ring anvils and detent pin anvils, giving you flexibility across different impact wrench designs. A detent pin hole on one side lets you choose whether to engage a locking pin for positive retention during heavy use. The dual marking system — high-visibility laser etching plus permanent stamped sizing — ensures the size stays readable even in greasy, low-light conditions. No adapter is required for standard 1/2 inch drive tools.

Performance Assurance

Each socket meets a minimum of 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME standard for proof torque, providing a substantial safety margin over baseline requirements. The 6-point geometry and radiused corners work together to protect both the socket and expensive fasteners from damage during high-torque removal or installation. This durability reduces downtime caused by rounded bolts or cracked sockets. The markings remain legible through years of shop use.
