Socket (impact) JCB 1" 85 mm 12-point deep

Deep 1-inch impact socket by JCB, 85 mm length, with a 12-point internal profile designed for secure engagement with hexagonal fasteners. Engineered for use with impact wrenches and impact drivers, this socket delivers additional reach for recessed nuts and bolts encountered in automotive, construction, and industrial maintenance tasks. The 12-point geometry allows multiple indexing positions on fasteners while the deep design helps access bolts located in tight or recessed areas.

Advantages

The socket is manufactured to withstand the repeated shock loads produced by pneumatic and electric impact tools, providing durability and resistance to cracking under heavy use. Its deep profile offers extended reach compared with standard sockets, reducing the need to disassemble surrounding components to reach recessed fasteners. The 12-point design enables quick engagement on fasteners in confined spaces and allows for finer rotational increments when positioning an impact wrench.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel nut removal and suspension work where bolts are recessed
• Construction and heavy equipment maintenance involving large hex fasteners
• Industrial maintenance tasks requiring impact-rated tools and deep reach
• Workshops using 1" drive impact wrenches and air or electric impact drivers

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1 inch
• Length: 85 mm (deep socket)
• Internal profile: 12-point
• Intended use: impact-rated for pneumatic and electric impact tools
• Compatibility: designed for hexagonal nuts and bolts

How to use

Select the socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1" drive impact wrench or adapter. Before use, inspect the socket for visible damage or wear. Position the socket fully over the fastener head, ensuring full contact between the 12-point profile and the fastener to minimise slipping. Operate the impact tool according to the tool manufacturer's guidelines, applying controlled bursts as needed. After use, clean debris from the socket and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated tools and accessories. Do not use standard hand ratchets or extensions with this impact socket for high-torque applications. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when operating impact tools and replace the socket if any cracks, excessive wear, or deformation are detected.
