Impact Socket 1/2" 11 mm (6-point) JCB

JCB impact socket 1/2" drive, 11 mm size, 6-point configuration is a hand and power tool accessory engineered for demanding fastening tasks. It is built to work with 1/2" impact wrenches and torque tools, providing a tight 6-sided fit that helps prevent rounding of bolts and nuts under high torque. The socket is intended for repeated use in workshop, automotive and industrial service environments where impact resistance and reliable engagement are important.

Advantages

The 6-point design offers full-face contact with fasteners, improving torque transmission and reducing the chance of slipping. Manufactured for impact applications, the socket resists deformation and cracking when used with pneumatic or electric impact tools. Its 1/2" drive interface ensures compatibility with common impact wrenches and extensions, while the 11 mm diameter targets metric fasteners frequently found on vehicles and machinery.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel/tire service
• Machinery maintenance and assembly
• Use with 1/2" impact wrenches and torque tools
• Workshop general-purpose fastening tasks

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible with standard impact tools
• Socket size: 11 mm for metric fasteners
• Configuration: 6-point (hex) design for secure engagement
• Intended use: impact-rated for use with impact wrenches and drivers
• Typical material: impact-grade steel constructed for durability under torque (material grade varies by batch)

How to use

Select the 11 mm impact socket and attach it to a 1/2" drive impact wrench or ratchet extension. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. When loosening or tightening, apply steady short bursts with an impact tool or controlled continuous force with a torque tool to achieve the required fastener tension. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear before use, and replace the socket if cracking or excessive deformation is visible.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, use eye protection and follow the impact tool manufacturer’s safety guidelines. Match socket size precisely to the fastener, avoid using damaged sockets, and use appropriate torque settings to prevent fastener or tool damage. Store the socket in a dry toolbox or rack to limit corrosion and inspect periodically for signs of wear.
