Impact Socket 6-Point 1" 46mm Short — Adler 3525.46

The Adler 3525.46 short 6-point impact socket is a 46 mm tool designed for 1" drive impact wrenches and torque tools. Engineered for high-torque applications, this hardened socket offers six contact faces for secure engagement with hex fasteners, reducing rounding and slipping under heavy load. Its short length gives improved accessibility in confined spaces while maintaining the strength required for automotive, heavy machinery and industrial maintenance tasks.

Advantages

This 6-point impact socket provides robust impact resistance and precise fit on hex fasteners, which helps minimize wear on bolt heads and the socket itself. The short profile enhances access in tight assemblies and allows faster operation where long extensions are impractical. Made for use with pneumatic and electric impact tools, the socket is heat-treated to withstand repeated torque cycles and sudden shock loads.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and suspension fasteners
• Heavy equipment assembly and maintenance
• Industrial plant machinery repairs
• Construction equipment service
• High-torque fastening and removal tasks in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1 inch
• Socket size: 46 mm
• Point type: 6-point (hex)
• Profile: short
• Intended use: impact applications (pneumatic and electric impact wrenches)
• Material treatment: hardened for impact resistance

How to use

Select the 46 mm 6-point socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1" drive impact wrench or torque tool. Ensure the socket fully engages the fastener head before applying torque. When loosening or tightening, apply controlled bursts of impact rather than continuous long runs to prevent over-torquing. After use, inspect the socket and fastener surfaces for wear or damage and replace the socket if cracking or severe deformation is observed.

Usage recommendations

Use with properly rated 1" drive impact tools and appropriate torque settings. Wear eye and hand protection while operating impact equipment. Avoid using the socket on rounded or damaged fasteners, and do not use the socket with hand ratchets or cheater bars when not intended, as this can cause damage or personal injury.
