Impact Socket Gedore 6123240

The Gedore 6123240 impact socket is a hand-operated hexagon socket designed for heavy-duty use. Manufactured from Gedore vanadium steel 31CrV3, the socket features a square drive compliant with DIN 3120 - C 12.5 and ISO 1174. The tool includes VDE insulation rated up to 1000 V according to EN 60900/IEC 60900 with a two-ply Check-Tool insulation and an insulation overhang of 16–18 mm. Available sizes include 27, 30 and 32 mm; for these sizes the diameter d1 is not standardised. The socket has a depth of 30 mm, a height of 30 mm and a weight of 84 g, suitable for applications requiring secure fit and efficient torque transfer.

Advantages

The Gedore 6123240 combines heat-treated 31CrV3 vanadium steel for toughness with authorised square-drive standards (DIN 3120, ISO 1174) to ensure reliable force transmission. VDE-certified two-layer insulation provides protection up to 1000 V while the 16–18 mm insulation overhang increases user safety. Its compact 30 mm depth and 30 mm height deliver a balance between access to fasteners and durability, and the lightweight 84 g construction aids handling during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Electrical and electronic maintenance where insulated tools are required
• Heavy-duty assembly and disassembly using impact tools
• Professional workshops and service vehicles requiring durable sockets
• DIY projects that need a secure fit and efficient torque transfer

How to use

Select the correct socket size (27, 30 or 32 mm) for the fastener. Mount the Gedore 6123240 onto a compatible square-drive impact wrench or hand ratchet that matches the DIN 3120 C12.5 drive. For tasks on live circuits or near energized parts, ensure power is isolated where possible; rely on the VDE insulation when working on voltage up to 1000 V following applicable safety procedures. Apply steady, controlled torque—avoid excessive side loading—and inspect the socket and insulation before each use for damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the Gedore 6123240 with tools and accessories that match the specified drive standard and observe VDE safety guidelines. Regularly inspect the Check-Tool insulation and replace the socket if cracks, cuts or wear are visible. For prolonged electrical work, verify insulation integrity with approved testing methods and keep the socket clean and dry.
