Impact socket accessory Proline 18343, 150 mm length

Proline 18343 impact socket accessory, 150 mm length, is an extension designed for use with impact wrenches and pneumatic or electric impact drivers. It provides additional reach to access recessed fasteners and threaded connections in tight or obstructed areas. Built for impact applications, the extension features a secure connection that helps maintain stable engagement between the socket and the drive tool during heavy-duty fastening and loosening tasks.

Advantages

The extension delivers extended reach while preserving impact-rated durability suitable for repeated use with impact tools. A ball-type locking mechanism helps retain the socket on the extension during operation, reducing accidental detachment. One end presents a square recess to accept standard sockets while the opposite end has a rounded square pin to fit into the drive tool, allowing reliable torque transfer under impact conditions.

Suitable for

• Reaching recessed bolts and nuts in automotive repair
• Accessing fasteners in machinery maintenance and industrial equipment
• Working in confined spaces such as engine bays, frame structures, or assembled panels
• Use with pneumatic or electric impact drivers and impact wrenches

Key specifications

• Length: 150 mm overall reach
• Designed for impact use with high-torque fastening tools
• Square socket on one end to accept matching sockets
• Rounded square pin on the opposite end to engage drive tools
• Ball locking mechanism to secure sockets during operation

How to use

Select a compatible impact-rated socket that matches the fastener size, press the socket onto the square recess of the extension until the ball detent engages. Insert the rounded square pin into the drive tool’s anvil or adapter and secure according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Use the impact tool at recommended torque and speed settings, applying steady guidance to keep the extension aligned with the fastener. After use, remove the extension and socket by pulling them apart while ensuring the tool is powered off and disconnected if pneumatic or corded.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated sockets and tools; avoid using non-impact accessories with this extension. Inspect the ball locking mechanism and mating faces regularly for wear or damage, and replace the extension if deformation or cracking is detected. Follow the impact tool manufacturer’s safety guidelines, wear appropriate eye and hand protection, and work with controlled torque to prevent fastener or tool damage.
