Impact Socket 3/4" 68mm 12-Point JCB JCB-46868

Impact Socket 3/4" 68mm 12-Point JCB JCB-46868 is a heavy-duty 68 mm socket designed for 3/4" drive impact wrenches. The 12-point profile provides multiple engagement angles for hex and double-hex fasteners, allowing secure contact under high torque. Constructed for industrial and automotive use, this JCB impact socket is sized for large nuts and bolts commonly found in construction equipment, trucks, and heavy machinery.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry reduces the need to realign the socket on the fastener and enables quick positioning in confined spaces. Made for impact applications, the socket resists deformation under repetitive high-torque loads and provides consistent engagement to minimise rounding of fastener corners. The 3/4" drive interface ensures compatibility with standard heavy-duty impact tools, offering reliable power transmission and simplified tool setup.

Suitable for

• Heavy-duty automotive repairs (trucks, buses, large vehicles)
• Construction and earthmoving equipment maintenance
• Industrial assembly and maintenance of large machinery
• Situations that require high torque application to 68 mm fasteners

Key specifications

• Socket size: 68 mm
• Drive size: 3/4"
• Profile: 12-point
• Intended use: impact (power) wrench applications
• Typical applications: heavy-duty, automotive, construction, industrial maintenance

How to use

Select an appropriate impact wrench with a 3/4" drive and set the torque or impact settings according to the fastener and manufacturer recommendations. Fit the 68 mm socket onto the drive and seat it fully onto the fastener before applying power. Use controlled, steady application of the impact tool and avoid side loading or prying on the socket to prevent premature wear. Inspect the socket and fastener seating after each use to ensure secure engagement and correct fit.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible impact-rated extensions or adapters when additional reach is required. Avoid using this impact socket with non-impact (hand) ratchets for prolonged periods, as those tools may concentrate stress differently. Store the socket in a dry, clean environment and inspect for cracks or deformation before use; replace if any damage is found.
