Impact socket accessory AWTools AW38277BL — depth 250 mm, weight 400 g

AWTools AW38277BL impact socket accessory is a long-depth 1/2" drive extension designed for use with impact wrenches and drivers. With a 250 mm length and a weight of 400 g, this extension gives extended reach for accessing recessed fasteners and studs in automotive and workshop environments. Constructed from hardened and tempered chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel with a satin finish, the accessory balances durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining precise fit for impact applications.

Advantages

The AWTools AW38277BL combines a long 250 mm length with a compact weight of 400 g to improve access without adding excessive bulk. Its hardened and tempered CrV steel construction provides strength and fatigue resistance suitable for repeated impact use. A spring-loaded locking ball secures sockets during operation, and knurled surfaces on the body provide a reliable hand grip when positioning or removing the tool. The satin finish reduces glare and offers modest surface protection.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance where recessed nuts or extended studs need to be reached
• Workshop repairs and assembly tasks requiring extra reach with 1/2" sockets
• Service and maintenance of machinery with hard-to-access fasteners
• Professional and hobbyist use with impact wrenches and impact drivers

How to use

Select a matching 1/2" impact socket and push it onto the extension until the spring-loaded locking ball engages to hold the socket in place.

Operate the impact tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, applying steady control to maintain alignment. After use, depress the locking ball if needed and remove the socket from the extension.

Usage recommendations

Use this AWTools long extension only with sockets and impact tools rated for impact use. Avoid using excessive side loads that could cause bending stresses. Regularly inspect the locking ball and knurled surfaces for wear or contamination, clean after heavy use, and store in a dry place to preserve the satin finish and material properties.
