Impact Hex Socket 1" Short 36 mm AWTools Black Line AW38909BL

The AWTools Black Line Impact Hex Socket 1" Short 36 mm is a compact, heavy-duty socket designed for use with impact wrenches and power tools. Its short length and 36 mm hex profile allow access to large fasteners in tight or confined spaces, while the 1-inch drive fits industrial-grade impact guns. The socket is intended for demanding environments such as automotive repair, heavy machinery maintenance, and construction applications where strong torque and durable tooling are required.

Advantages

The short design reduces leverage requirements and improves access in restricted areas without sacrificing strength. Manufactured for impact use, the socket resists cracking and deformation under repeated high-torque applications. Its 36 mm hex geometry provides secure engagement with hex fasteners to minimize rounding and slipping, and the 1-inch drive ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial impact wrenches.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing large hex nuts on trucks and heavy vehicles
• Maintenance of agricultural and construction machinery
• Industrial assembly and disassembly operations requiring high torque
• Work in confined engine bays or machinery housings where a short socket is needed

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1 inch
• Socket type: hex (6-point)
• Nominal size: 36 mm
• Length: short (compact profile for restricted access)
• Intended use: impact-rated for pneumatic and electric impact tools

How to use

Select the AWTools 36 mm impact hex socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1-inch drive impact wrench. Position the socket over the hex fastener ensuring full seating on the flats, then operate the impact wrench using controlled bursts to apply or remove torque. For removal of tightly fastened or seized nuts, use short pulses and reverse direction as needed. After use, inspect the socket for wear or damage before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with impact-rated tools and accessories. Avoid using a damaged or excessively worn socket; replace if cracking, rounding, or deformation is observed. Keep the tool and socket clean and apply suitable lubricants to fastener threads when appropriate to reduce galling and facilitate removal. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when operating impact tools.
