The WADFOW WMS3216 1/2 Inch Deep Impact Socket 16mm attaches to high-torque drivers for heavy mechanical assembly. Cold-extruded 50BV30 chrome-vanadium steel resists metal fatigue during heavy pneumatic load. A 78mm length clears long bolts that standard shallow sockets fail to reach.
Key Features
- 50BV30 Steel Build: Cold-extruded alloy maintains structural integrity under 1/2-inch drive impact forces. Sockets won't shatter during high-frequency use with heavy-duty air wrenches.
- 78mm Deep Reach: Extended body design accesses recessed fasteners in cramped mechanical bays. This length bypasses protruding threads on long studs or wheel bolts.
- Black Phosphate Coating: Chemical surface treatment blocks oxygen and moisture from the metal substrate. Stops surface rust despite exposure to humidity or road grime.
- 6-Point Hex Geometry: Internal flats grip bolt sides rather than the corners. Prevents rounding of 16mm fasteners during high-torque loosening or tightening.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 50BV30 steel used for in sockets?
50BV30 steel provides high fatigue resistance for impact-grade tools. It absorbs vibration better than standard chrome-vanadium to prevent cracking under load.
Can I use WADFOW impact sockets with air wrenches?
Yes, these sockets handle the high-torque cycles of pneumatic tools. The 1/2-inch drive fits most standard air impact guns found in mechanical workshops.
