Socket Adapter / Impact Socket 1" 6-point 55 mm short — Adler 3525.55

Short 6-point impact socket by Adler with a 1" square drive and 55 mm depth. Designed for use with impact wrenches and other pneumatic or electric impact tools, this adapter/impact socket provides a compact solution for heavy-duty fastening and loosening tasks. The six-point configuration ensures firm engagement with hex fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding and improving torque transfer in workshop, automotive and industrial applications.

Advantages

The short 6-point geometry concentrates contact on the flats of fasteners for secure grip and efficient torque transmission. Built for impact use, the socket resists deformation under repeated high-torque cycles and offers a compact profile to access confined spaces. The 1" square drive ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial impact wrenches, while the 55 mm depth is optimized for work on exposed nuts and bolts where a full-length socket is unnecessary.

Suitable for

• Heavy-duty fastening and loosening with impact wrenches
• Automotive maintenance and repair on large nuts and bolts
• Workshop and industrial assembly or disassembly tasks
• Situations requiring a compact socket to reach tight or restricted areas

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1" square drive
• Socket configuration: 6-point (hex) design
• Depth/length: 55 mm (short type)
• Intended tool type: impact wrenches (pneumatic or electric)
• Application: heavy-duty fastening and loosening

How to use

Select the correct socket size and attach it securely to the 1" square drive of the impact wrench. Ensure the socket fully engages the fastener head before applying torque. Use the impact tool at recommended torque and speed settings for the fastener material and size. After use, inspect the socket for signs of wear or damage and replace it if deformation or cracking is present to maintain safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible 1" impact accessories such as extension bars or universal joints when needed, and pair with impact-rated retaining pins or clips to prevent accidental disengagement. Avoid using the socket with hand tools or non-impact drivers unless explicitly rated for non-impact use; regular inspection and proper storage will extend service life.
