  • 3/4 inch drive suits heavy-duty impact wrenches
  • Black oxide finish protects against corrosion and wear

Professional impact socket for heavy fasteners

The Westward 21WL50 is a 3/4 inch drive impact socket sized at 46 mm with a six-point profile. It is built from chrome molybdenum alloy steel and finished with black oxide to resist corrosion. The overall length is 3 1/2 inches, suited for confined access. This tool is intended for technicians who need reliable engagement on large stubborn fasteners.

Six-point geometry improves torque transfer

The six-point opening contacts the flats of a nut or bolt rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high impact loads. Combined with the alloy steel construction, this geometry allows more torque to be applied before the fastener or socket deforms. The black oxide surface adds a layer of wear resistance without changing the critical dimensions.

Suited for automotive and industrial maintenance

Mechanics working on heavy-duty suspension, commercial vehicle wheels or large machinery will find the 46 mm size and 3/4 inch drive compatible with common impact wrenches. It is not for light-duty ratchets or smaller drive sizes, and buyers needing metric sizes other than 46 mm or a twelve-point profile should look at a different socket.

Questions about this item

Will the 6-point chrome molybdenum alloy steel socket need replacement if the corners start rounding off?

The 6-point design maximises contact on the 46 mm fastener flats, reducing corner rounding; replace only if the socket walls crack or the drive square wears beyond safe engagement.

What stops the 3/4 in drive from slipping before the 46 mm socket reaches full torque?

The 6-point geometry grips the fastener across its flats, so the limiting factor is the fastener's own yield strength or the operator's torque tool setting, not the socket slipping.

Does the black oxide finish on the 21WL50 get hot enough to burn hands during all-day impact work?

The socket itself conducts heat from the fastener and impact gun; the black oxide finish does not insulate, so wear gloves during extended use to avoid burns.
