Impact Socket AWTools 1" Short 33 mm Black Line

AWTools Impact Socket 1" Short 33 mm Black Line is a heavy-duty socket engineered for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches. This short-length socket features a 33 mm hex opening and is part of the Black Line series, built to withstand repeated high-torque operations in workshop, automotive and industrial maintenance environments. The design ensures a secure fit on large hex fasteners while minimising risk of rounding and improving torque transfer from pneumatic or electric impact tools.

Advantages

The socket is manufactured from impact-rated alloy steel and finished with a protective black coating to resist corrosion and wear. Its short profile improves access in confined spaces and reduces leverage on the drive, while the precise hex machining provides reliable engagement with fastener heads. The 1-inch drive interface is compatible with standard heavy-duty impact wrenches and accessories.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing large hex nuts and bolts on commercial vehicles
• Industrial maintenance and assembly tasks requiring high torque
• Workshop and garage use with pneumatic or electric impact tools
• Applications with limited clearance where a short socket is needed

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1 inch
• Socket type: Impact, short profile
• Hex opening: 33 mm
• Material: Impact-rated alloy steel
• Finish: Protective black coating

How to use

Select the 33 mm impact socket and securely attach it to a 1-inch drive impact wrench or compatible adaptor. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the wrench drive and correctly engaged on the fastener head before applying torque. Use appropriate torque settings and controlled bursts with pneumatic or electric impact tools to avoid over-tightening. Inspect the socket for damage or wear before each use and replace if cracks or significant deformation are present.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, use eye and hand protection and follow manufacturer instructions for your impact wrench. Match socket size precisely to the fastener and avoid using cheater bars or extensions that exceed tool specifications. Store the socket dry and clean to preserve the protective coating and inspect regularly when used in heavy-duty industrial settings.
