What are impact sockets?
Impact sockets are designed to withstand the high torque and vibration generated by impact wrenches, making them great for heavy-duty applications. Unlike regular sockets, which may crack or shatter under the stress of impact tools, impact sockets are constructed from hardened steel and feature thicker walls to withstand the forces involved.
Can I use impact sockets with a regular ratchet or wrench?
While it's technically possible to use impact sockets with a regular ratchet or wrench, it's not recommended. Impact sockets are designed for use with impact tools, which deliver sudden bursts of torque that can damage standard hand tools.
Do I need different sizes of impact sockets for different tasks?
Yes, having a variety of impact socket sizes is necessary for tackling different fasteners and applications. These sockets are available in different sizes to accommodate different bolt and nut sizes, ranging from small sockets for light-duty tasks to larger sockets for heavy-duty jobs.
