Socket, impact hex 1" short 30 mm AWTools (model AW38905BL) Black Line

AWTools Black Line impact hex socket 1" short 30 mm is designed for demanding fastening and loosening tasks that require a 1-inch drive connection. This short, compact socket delivers reliable performance with impact wrenches and torque tools, providing the strength and durability expected from impact-rated accessories. Its 30 mm hex size fits common large fasteners used in automotive, industrial maintenance and heavy equipment applications.

Advantages

The socket is manufactured for impact use, offering enhanced resistance to shock and deformation under high torque. Its short length improves access in confined spaces while reducing the lever arm for controlled force application. The robust construction and compatible 1" drive ensure secure engagement with impact tools and stable transfer of torque to hex fasteners.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and chassis fastening where high torque is needed
• Industrial maintenance and heavy machinery assembly
• Construction equipment repair and fastening of large bolts
• Workshops using 1" drive impact wrenches and torque multipliers

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1 inch compatible with standard impact tool drives
• Hex size: 30 mm for large hex fasteners
• Length: short profile for limited-access applications
• Intended use: impact-rated for use with impact wrenches and torque tools
• Finish: dark/black surface treatment for corrosion resistance and reduced glare

How to use

Attach the socket to a compatible 1" drive impact wrench or torque tool until it clicks or locks in place. Position the 30 mm hex opening squarely over the fastener head to ensure full contact on all flats, then apply torque gradually to seat the socket. When using an impact wrench, follow the tool manufacturer's guidance for torque settings and duty cycles. After use, inspect the socket for any visible cracks or wear before reusing.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket exclusively with tools and accessories rated for 1" drive impact operation. Avoid using damaged sockets or applying excessive side load; keep the socket clean and lightly lubricated on engagement surfaces to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable performance.
