Impact Socket 1/2" 16 mm (6‑point) PARTNER PA-44516

Impact Socket 1/2" 16 mm (6‑point) PARTNER PA-44516 is a 16 mm, 6-point impact socket with a 1/2" square drive designed for use with impact wrenches, pneumatic tools and electric impact drivers. Manufactured for heavy-duty fastening and loosening of hex fasteners, this PARTNER socket offers a firm engagement with bolt heads and nuts while resisting rounding and deformation under high torque conditions. The socket's 6-point profile and impact-rated construction make it suitable for repeated use in automotive repair, workshop maintenance and mechanical assembly tasks that require a robust 16 mm socket.

Advantages

The 6-point profile provides maximum contact with fastener flats to reduce slipping and damage to bolts. Impact-rated construction absorbs the shock of impact tools, improving durability and service life compared with standard hand sockets. The 1/2" square drive ensures compatibility with common impact wrenches and extension accessories, allowing effective power transfer and stable operation under high torque. Compact external dimensions make access easier in confined spaces while maintaining strength for heavy-duty use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and tire/bolt replacement
• Workshop maintenance and mechanical servicing
• Assembly and disassembly of machinery and equipment with 16 mm hex fasteners
• Use with pneumatic or electric impact wrenches and drivers

Key specifications

• Socket size: 16 mm
• Drive type: 1/2" (square drive)
• Profile: 6-point (hex)
• Intended use: impact-rated for use with impact wrenches and drivers
• Application areas: automotive, workshop, mechanical assembly

How to use

Select the 16 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" impact wrench, extension or adapter. Position the socket squarely on the fastener head, ensuring full engagement of the 6-point profile with the flats of the bolt or nut. Operate the impact tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, applying controlled bursts of torque for tightening or loosening. After use, inspect the socket for cracking, deformation or excessive wear before storing it in a suitable tool organizer.

Usage recommendations

Use this impact socket only with tools rated for impact use and avoid using it with hand ratchets intended for non-impact sockets. Match the socket size precisely to the fastener to prevent rounding. Regularly inspect for damage and replace the socket if any cracks or significant wear are found to maintain safety and performance.
