Impact Socket Deep 23MM 1/2″ Drive

This is a 23mm deep impact socket, designed for use with 1/2″ drive impact wrenches. Its primary function is to provide secure engagement and withstand the high torque and repetitive impacts generated by power tools, specifically for fastening and unfastening 23mm hex fasteners in demanding professional environments.

What You Get

• 23mm hex socket size
• 1/2″ square drive connection
• Deep well design for extended reach over fasteners
• Constructed from Chrome Vanadium steel
• Drop-forged manufacturing process
• Six-point (hexagonal) internal profile
• Hardened and tempered for enhanced strength
• Phosphate Black finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare

Built For

This socket is engineered for applications requiring robust fastener engagement and high torque transfer. It is suitable for automotive repair, heavy machinery maintenance, construction, and industrial assembly where 23mm hex fasteners are common. Its deep well allows access to fasteners on longer studs or recessed areas. The impact-rated design is critical for use with pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic impact wrenches, where standard sockets would be prone to cracking or rounding.

Construction

The socket is manufactured from Chrome Vanadium steel, a common alloy chosen for its high tensile strength and resistance to wear. The drop-forging process compacts the metal’s grain structure, further increasing its strength and durability against impact forces. It features a six-point internal profile, which maximizes contact with the fastener head, reducing the risk of rounding corners under high torque. The material is subsequently hardened and tempered through heat treatment to achieve optimal hardness and toughness, preventing premature failure. A Phosphate Black finish is applied to provide a protective layer against rust and corrosion, extending the tool’s lifespan in harsh working conditions, and offering a non-reflective surface.
