Impact Socket 1/2" 16mm 6-Point — Forcekraft FK-44516

Forcekraft FK-44516 is a 1/2" drive, 16mm, 6-point impact socket designed for use with impact wrenches and pneumatic or electric drivers. The socket is intended for fastening and loosening hex fasteners and is manufactured to withstand the higher torque and shock loads typical of impact applications. Its 6-point configuration provides full-face contact with bolt heads to reduce rounding and improve torque transfer, while the 1/2" drive compatibility makes it suitable for common impact tools used in automotive and industrial settings.

Advantages

The impact socket is made from impact-rated alloy steel and heat-treated for enhanced toughness and resistance to fracturing under repeated impacts. Its 6-point geometry ensures secure engagement with fasteners, minimizing slippage and wear on bolt heads. The 16mm size covers a widely used metric fastener range, and the standard 1/2" drive interface allows quick attachment to a variety of impact wrenches. The external finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use in workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and tyre changing
• Machinery assembly and maintenance
• Industrial and construction fastening tasks
• Pneumatic and electric impact wrench applications

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2"
• Socket size: 16 mm
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Designed for use with impact tools (impact-rated)
• Material: impact-grade alloy steel (heat treated)
• Finish: corrosion-resistant coating

How to use

Select the 16mm 6-point socket for the corresponding hex fastener and securely attach it to a compatible 1/2" impact wrench or extension. Position the socket squarely over the fastener and apply controlled torque with the impact tool, taking care to use the appropriate power and torque settings for the bolt and application. After use, remove the socket, wipe off debris, and inspect for cracks or excessive wear before storing.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with impact-rated drivers and accessories. Avoid using cheater bars or non-impact ratchets with this socket, and replace it if visible cracking or deformation appears. For best results, match the socket size precisely to the fastener and apply torque within the safe limits of the fastener and tool.
