Impact Socket 1" 46mm 6-Point for Impact Wrench — JCB

JCB impact socket with a 1" drive and 46 mm opening designed for use with impact wrenches and pneumatic or electric impact tools. The 6-point configuration ensures full-face contact with hex fasteners to reduce rounding and provide strong torque transfer for heavy-duty tightening and loosening operations. Manufactured for workshop, construction and industrial maintenance environments where robust, reliable sockets are required.

Advantages

This 1" 46 mm 6-point impact socket is made to withstand repeated impulse loads from impact wrenches, delivering consistent engagement and torque transmission. The 6-point design helps minimize fastener damage by matching flat-to-flat contact with hex heads, while the heavy-duty construction resists cracking under high torque. The socket fits standard 1" drives for compatibility with common impact tools and extensions used in automotive and industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening large hex nuts and bolts on vehicles, heavy machinery and trailers
• Construction and civil engineering bolted connections requiring high torque
• Maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and industrial plants
• Use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches and suitable torque multipliers

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1 inch
• Socket opening: 46 mm
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: impact applications with impact wrenches and impact tools
• Typical materials: impact-grade alloy steel (heat-treated for durability)
• Surface finish: protective coating for corrosion resistance

How to use

Select the 46 mm 6-point socket for the corresponding hex fastener and attach it securely to a compatible 1" drive impact wrench or extension. Ensure the socket seats fully on the fastener before applying torque. Operate the impact tool according to the tool manufacturer's safety and operating instructions, applying controlled bursts if necessary to prevent over-torquing. After use, inspect the socket for cracks or deformation and store it in a dry, organized tool storage to maintain condition.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, follow the impact tool's rated torque limits and avoid using the socket on damaged fasteners. Replace the socket if visible wear, rounding, or cracking appears. For final torque settings, consider finishing with a calibrated torque wrench where precise torque values are required.
