Socket 3/4" 53mm (12-point) JCB

3/4" 53mm 12-point impact socket by JCB is designed for use with compatible 3/4-inch drive impact wrenches and torque tools. The socket offers a 53 mm opening with a 12-point internal profile to provide improved contact on hex and 12-point fasteners. Constructed for heavy-duty use, this JCB socket suits automotive, construction and industrial maintenance tasks where impact-rated drive tools are used.

Advantages

The 12-point profile distributes torque across multiple contact surfaces to reduce rounding of fasteners and allow easier alignment in confined spaces. A robust impact-rated design resists cracking and deformation under repeated high-torque cycles. The 3/4" drive compatibility ensures use with common heavy-duty impact wrenches and torque tools, while the 53 mm size addresses larger nuts and bolts often found on heavy equipment and commercial vehicles.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and heavy-truck wheel and suspension fasteners
• Construction machinery repair and assembly
• Industrial equipment servicing and plant maintenance
• Any application requiring a 53 mm socket with impact capability and 12-point profile

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4 inch
• Socket opening: 53 mm
• Internal profile: 12-point
• Intended use: impact-rated for use with impact wrenches and torque tools
• Material and finish: engineered for heavy-duty service (impact tool compatible)

How to use

Fit the socket onto a compatible 3/4" drive impact wrench or breaker bar, ensuring the tool's drive detent or pin secures the socket. Position the socket squarely on the fastener before applying torque. When using an impact wrench, apply short bursts to seat the socket and then operate at the required torque setting. Inspect the socket for damage or wear before use and replace if cracks or deformations are observed.

Usage recommendations

Use this impact socket only with tools and accessories rated for impact use. Avoid using impact sockets with hand-only torque where precision calibration is required; instead use appropriate torque sockets or torque-limiting tools. Store the socket in a dry tool chest and routinely inspect for wear to maintain safe operation.
