Impact Socket Gedore 6140170

Impact Socket Gedore 6140170 is a hand-operated hexagon socket manufactured from Gedore vanadium steel (31CrV3). It conforms to DIN 3124 and ISO 2725-1 standards with a square drive according to DIN 3120 / ISO 1174 (C 12.5) featuring a ball retaining groove. The surface is polished and chrome-plated. Available sizes include 16, 18 and 21 mm; these sizes are drilled for a tommy bar with a diameter of 8 mm. The socket has a depth of 80 mm, a height of 45 mm and a weight of 101 g.

Advantages

The Gedore 6140170 combines standard-compliant design and hardened vanadium steel to provide consistent strength and wear resistance. Chrome plating protects the surface from corrosion and facilitates cleaning. The knurled grip and drilled hole for a tommy bar enhance manual control and allow secure use with a crossbar for additional leverage. The compact dimensions support access in confined spaces while maintaining torque transmission for heavy-duty tasks.

How to use

Select the socket size that matches the hex fastener head. Attach the socket to a compatible C 12.5 square drive tool or insert a tommy bar through the Ø 8 mm hole for manual turning. Ensure the ball retaining groove engages with the drive tool's detent to secure the socket. Apply steady torque appropriate to the fastener and tool; avoid side loading that could damage the square drive or the fastener head.

Usage recommendations

Use with tools and torque values suitable for an impact-rated socket and follow relevant safety procedures. Store the socket dry and clean to preserve the chrome plating and inspect regularly for wear or deformation before use.
