Wright Tool 8868 impact socket

The Wright Tool 8868 is a one-inch drive impact socket sized at 2-1/8 inches SAE for heavy-duty fastening work. Its six-point alloy-steel construction and black oxide finish resist corrosion while handling the high torque of impact wrenches. Professional technicians and industrial maintenance crews use it on large equipment where standard sockets would fail.

Upgrade from worn or shallow sockets

Replace cracked chrome sockets or shallow-depth tools that round off six-point fasteners under impact loads. The three-inch overall length and 1-7/32-inch bolt clearance reach recessed hardware that shorter sockets cannot engage. The jump is worth it when fastener damage or rounding becomes a recurring cost on the job.

Simple drive-on installation

Slide the socket onto a one-inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar until it seats on the retaining pin or ring. The non-magnetic alloy steel prevents metal debris from clinging during assembly or disassembly. What usually goes wrong is using a mismatched drive size or forgetting the retaining device, which can eject the socket under load.
