Impact socket accessory Proline ZR18432, 48 mm length, model 18432

Proline ZR18432 is an impact socket accessory with a 48 mm length designed for use with impact wrenches and powered drive tools. Built for automotive, construction and maintenance tasks, this accessory provides a durable intermediate connection between the drive tool and hex sockets. The socket is manufactured from chromium-molybdenum (CrMo) steel for improved durability and higher strength compared with conventional chromium-vanadium designs.

Advantages

The Proline impact socket features CrMo construction that delivers increased tensile strength and a higher yield point, resulting in a longer working life under heavy and variable loads. Its PRO-DRIVE internal profile rounds the open angles between the working planes to reduce point loads on socket edges and bolt heads, allowing higher torque application while lowering the risk of wall breakage and fastener damage. The square drive is compatible with common locking mechanisms on pneumatic tools, ensuring reliable retention during high-impact operation.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel nut tightening/loosening
• Construction and assembly where impact tools are used
• Maintenance and servicing of machinery with hex fasteners
• Workshops requiring durable sockets for high torque applications

Key specifications

• Material: chromium-molybdenum (CrMo) steel
• Length: 48 mm
• Drive type: square drive compatible with standard pneumatic locking mechanisms
• Tip/profile: hexagonal impact socket with PRO-DRIVE rounded internal angles
• Intended use: impact wrenches and powered drive tools

How to use

Select the correct socket size for the fastener, attach the Proline impact socket to the compatible square drive of the impact wrench and ensure it locks securely. Operate the impact tool according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, applying torque in short bursts if necessary to avoid overheating. After use, inspect the socket for wear or deformation and store it in a suitable holder or toolbox to maintain its condition.

Usage recommendations

Use with impact-rated accessories and follow the impact wrench manufacturer’s safety guidelines. Avoid using the socket on non-impact tools or with excessive heat that could alter material properties. Regularly inspect contact surfaces and replace the socket if visible cracks, significant rounding or deformation appear.
