• Proto 6 point impact sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners Made from soft materials
• The TorquePlus design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners
• The TorquePlus configuration employs a radius-corner design, shifting contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distributing contact stresses over a large area of the socket, minimizing slippage
• The TorquePlus internal design minimizes fastener rounding, helps to extend fastener life, and allows the user to more easily turn worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners
• Stamped size for easy reference

POWER DRIVES impact sockets are designed for professional tool users. They are engineered specifically for use with impact tools using the most up to date industrial specifications. Impact sockets are made with thicker walls and tempered to a lower hardness so as not to shatter under the impacts. They are typically finished in black oxide rather than the chrome plating typical of the hand-tool variety.  Since impact sockets are used in demanding applications, impact sockets are designed to sustain the impacts. Look inside the square drive hole for a mark in the metal that looks like it’s been gouged with a fingernail. This indicates that the drive has been formed by pushing a rod through the metal during the forging process, Impact sockets are available in different sizes and types. A few common types that are used are as under:

·        6 Point Standard Impact Sockets

·        6 Point Deep Impact Sockets

·        12 Point Standard Impact Sockets

·        12 Point Deep Impact Sockets

·        4 Point Standard

·        8 Point Standard

·        Thin Wall Impact Sockets -Standard

The benefits of the profile include are Reduced risk of fastener rounding. Increased chances of turning worn fasteners. Impact Sockets of 1/2" square drive and above feature for flats above 17 mm (5/8"). All Impact Sockets are made from high strength alloy steel. All Impact Sockets are heat treated for the best combination of strength and impact resistance. All Impact Sockets have an optimum wall thickness for strength and access on fasteners having restrictions. The depth of the Hex openings is designed to accomodate the full standard fastener head. All Impact Sockets have chamfered openings for ease in engagement with the drive tool and the fastener. Concentric openings and large clearance holes to meet industrial specifications. All Impact Sockets have a Ring-N-Pin arrangement for securing them to the drive. Sockets are plated and black oxidized coated for increased protection from rusting.

A slogging spanner has a thick end that is designed to be used with a hammer to tighten fasteners, such as nuts and bolts to a precise torque.
Slogging spanners are also ideal to untighten fasteners which are stuck, as they pass high levels of force and vibration through to the nut or bolt when hit with a hammer.

Sometimes known as a 'hammer wrench', we sell slogging ring spanners and open end slogging spanners made

Best hardware provides all types of Slugging Wrench spanners in a quality range and in all type of varieties as best price possible

How Slugging Wrenches are manufactured?Spanner are manufactured under proper supervision using quality tested metal and advanced technology.

Slugging Wrench spanner 1. Drop forged from high tensile alloy. 2. Machined to closed tolerances to ISO specifications. 3. Heat treated to achieve optimum Impact resistance. 4. Electroplating followed by black oxidizing to prevent from rusting. 5. Larger striking area to increase safety in use. 6. Greater sectional area for longer life. 7. Hexagon opening depth to ensure positive seating on nuts / bolts. 8. Chamferred openings for ease of location on nuts / bolts. 9. Greater offset height allows clear hammering in offset  Slogging Spanners. 10. Clear marking of size and model.
