Socket wrench, JCB 3/4" drive 50 mm 12-point

Impact socket by JCB with a 3/4" drive and a 50 mm diameter featuring a 12-point internal profile. Designed for use with impact wrenches and torque tools, this socket is intended for heavy-duty fastening and loosening of large nuts and bolts. The construction and geometry prioritize secure engagement with fasteners and reliable performance in demanding automotive, construction, and industrial maintenance environments.

Advantages

The 12-point profile allows easier alignment with fasteners in tight spaces while maintaining adequate contact for high-torque applications. A 3/4" drive provides compatibility with a range of impact tools and torque wrenches commonly used for large fasteners. The 50 mm size covers many heavy vehicle and machinery fasteners, reducing the need for adapters. The socket is designed to withstand repeated impact loading and offer consistent fit to minimize fastener rounding.

Suitable for

• Removal and installation of large nuts and bolts on trucks and heavy equipment
• Construction machinery maintenance and assembly
• Industrial plant maintenance where high torque is required
• Workshops using 3/4" drive impact wrenches and torque tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4"
• Socket diameter: 50 mm
• Internal profile: 12-point
• Type: impact socket, compatible with impact and torque tools
• Intended use: heavy-duty fastening and loosening

How to use

Select the correct 50 mm, 12-point socket and fit it to a 3/4" drive impact wrench or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the fastener before applying torque. When using an impact tool, follow the tool manufacturer's safety and operational instructions, including appropriate torque settings and socket retention methods such as detent or pin-and-ring where applicable. Inspect the socket and fastener for damage or wear before each use and replace the socket if deformation or cracking is detected.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket only with tools rated for the required torque and impact use. Avoid using the socket on damaged fasteners and keep work area clean to ensure proper engagement. Regularly inspect the socket for wear and store it in dry conditions to prevent corrosion.
