Impact Deep Socket 3/4" 80 mm (12-point) — JCB

JCB Impact Deep Socket 3/4" 80 mm (12-point) is a professional socket engineered for use with 3/4" drive impact wrenches and breakers. The 80 mm deep profile reaches recessed nuts and long studs while the 12-point internal geometry permits faster engagement and repositioning on bolt heads. Made for workshop and field service, this socket supports repetitive, high-torque applications typical in automotive, heavy equipment and industrial maintenance.

Advantages

The deep 80 mm design provides extra reach to access fasteners located on long studs or recessed positions without disassembling surrounding components. The 12-point configuration reduces the need for precise alignment and enables quicker indexing during tightening or loosening operations. Constructed to withstand impact-tool forces, the socket is suited for repeated use with impact-rated tools and is compatible with common accessory attachments for 3/4" drive systems.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and axle, suspension or drivetrain fasteners
• Heavy machinery service and construction equipment maintenance
• Industrial maintenance where recessed or long-stud fasteners are present
• Use with 3/4" drive impact wrenches, breakers and heavy-duty ratchets

When it may not be suitable

This socket is designed specifically for 3/4" drive impact tools; it is not intended for use with low-capacity mini or 1/2" drive tools without proper adapters, which may reduce safety and performance. It is also not appropriate for precision torque applications where calibrated torque control and socket systems specified for torque accuracy are required.

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4 inch
• Socket depth: 80 mm
• Point configuration: 12-point
• Intended use: impact-rated applications
• Compatible with: impact wrenches, impact breakers and heavy-duty ratchets

How to use

Select the correct socket size for the fastener and push it firmly onto the 3/4" drive tool or extension. Seat the socket fully onto the fastener before applying torque. When using an impact wrench or breaker, apply short bursts and control the tool to avoid over-torquing. For removal of stubborn fasteners, use appropriate penetrating lubricant and ensure the socket is not damaged or deformed before use. Inspect the socket regularly for wear, cracks or rounding of the contact faces and replace if any damage is detected.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your tool is a 3/4" drive impact wrench or that you have a suitable adapter
• Confirm that 80 mm depth is sufficient to reach the fasteners you need
• Ensure the 12-point geometry matches the fastener head type in your applications
• Check compatibility with any extensions, universal joints or accessories you plan to use

Usage recommendations

Use impact-rated sockets only with compatible impact tools and avoid using non-impact sockets with impact wrenches. Store the socket in a dry toolbox to prevent corrosion and replace it if deformation or cracking is observed. For controlled torque work, finish tightening with a calibrated torque wrench and an appropriate socket designed for torque accuracy.
