Vega 317163 Impact Socket Long Length 1/2 Sq Dr 1-1/16 Tool Storage

VEGA 317163 Impact Socket 1-1/16

The VEGA 317163 is a 1/2 inch square drive impact socket with a 1-1/16 inch opening and long length. It is designed for professional mechanics and serious DIY users who need extended reach on stubborn fasteners. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

Installation and common issues

The socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches or breaker bars without adapters. Ensure the retaining pin or ring engages fully to prevent the socket from separating under torque. A common mistake is using a short socket where the long length is required to clear obstructions, or exceeding the tool's rated torque capacity.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your impact wrench or breaker bar uses a 1/2 inch square drive. Confirm the fastener size is exactly 1-1/16 inch and that the surrounding clearance accommodates the socket's long profile. Check that your tool's maximum torque output does not exceed the socket's design limits.
