Socket impact AWTools 1/2" long 27 mm Black Line

AWTools Socket impact 1/2" long 27 mm from the Black Line series is a long-type impact socket designed for use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches and impact drivers. The socket is intended for high-torque fastening and loosening of bolts and nuts in automotive repair, construction and industrial maintenance. Its long design gives additional reach for recessed or hard-to-access fasteners while the Black Line finish provides surface protection against wear typical for impact service.

Advantages

The socket is manufactured from impact-rated steel and heat-treated for strength and durability under repeated impacts. Its 27 mm size and 1/2" drive are compatible with common impact tools and accessories, enabling efficient torque transmission. The long configuration reduces the need for extensions in many applications and helps reach fasteners located deeper in assemblies. The Black Line surface treatment improves resistance to abrasion and helps keep the working surface free of premature corrosion.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance: wheel nuts, engine components and suspension work
• Construction and installation tasks requiring high torque
• Industrial assembly and maintenance where impact tools are used
• Accessing recessed or deep-set bolts and nuts

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible with standard 1/2" impact wrenches and ratchets
• Socket type: long design for extended reach
• Nominal size: 27 mm across flats for metric fasteners
• Material and treatment: impact-rated steel, heat-treated for toughness
• Finish: Black Line surface treatment for wear and corrosion resistance

How to use

Select a 1/2" drive impact wrench or driver and attach a compatible 1/2" drive adaptor if needed. Fit the 27 mm long socket onto the fastener and ensure full seating on the bolt or nut to avoid rounding. Use the impact tool at appropriate torque settings or in controlled bursts; avoid continuous high-speed operation without breaks. After use, inspect the socket for deformation or cracking and store in a dry place to preserve the surface finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with tools and accessories rated for impact service. Do not use a handheld hammer on an impact socket and avoid using the socket on fasteners that do not match the 27 mm size to prevent damage. Regularly check for wear and replace the socket if any cracks, excessive rounding, or significant deformation are visible.
