Socket wrench bit 1/2" 30 mm 6-point for impact use by JCB

The JCB 1/2" 30 mm 6-point impact socket is a tool designed for use with 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches and heavy-duty ratchets. Its 30 mm diameter and six-point internal profile provide stable engagement with hex fasteners, helping to minimize rounding and improve torque transfer. The socket is intended for impact applications in automotive repair, construction, and industrial maintenance where a durable, impact-rated accessory is required.

Advantages

The 6-point configuration concentrates force on the flats of fasteners to reduce slippage and rounding. A 1/2" drive size ensures compatibility with common impact wrenches and breaker bars used in professional and DIY settings. The impact-rated design and material treatment offer enhanced resistance to shock and deformation under repeated high-torque cycles.

Suitable for

• Removing and tightening hex head bolts and nuts on vehicles
• Assembly and disassembly of construction equipment and machinery
• Routine maintenance and repair in industrial workshops

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket size: 30 mm
• Internal profile: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: impact-rated applications
• Compatibility: designed for use with impact wrenches and heavy-duty ratchets

How to use

Select the 30 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or ratchet. Position the socket squarely over the fastener head to ensure full engagement of the 6-point profile. Apply torque in short intervals when using an impact tool to maintain control and avoid over-torque. Inspect the socket and fastener surfaces after use for signs of wear or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use impact-rated sockets only with impact-rated tools and accessories. Avoid using this socket with standard non-impact hand tools for tasks involving high torque. Keep sockets clean and store them dry to prevent corrosion; replace any socket that shows visible cracking, rounding, or deformation.
