Impact socket accessory Proline 18473, length 250 mm

Proline impact socket accessory 18473 is a 250 mm long impact-rated attachment designed for use with impact wrenches and drivers. Made from chromium-molybdenum steel, this extension provides extra reach to access recessed fasteners and bolts in confined or hard-to-reach areas. The design is intended for impact applications, offering durability and resistance to breakage during heavy-duty fastening and loosening operations.

Advantages

The Proline 18473 extension combines extended reach with impact resistance owing to its chromium-molybdenum construction. Its 250 mm length allows access to deep-set nuts and bolts without compromising tool stability. Engineered for repeated impact use, it reduces the need for improvised extensions and helps maintain consistent torque transfer from the impact wrench to the fastener.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair where wheel hubs, suspension or engine components require deep access
• Industrial maintenance and assembly of machinery with recessed fasteners
• DIY mechanical projects involving tightened or rusted bolts in tight spaces
• Construction and service work requiring impact-rated socket extensions

Key specifications

• Type: impact socket accessory (extension)
• Length: 250 mm
• Material: chromium-molybdenum steel (impact-rated)
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard impact wrenches and drivers
• Finish: heat-treated surface for enhanced durability during impact use

How to use

Attach the Proline 250 mm extension to the drive anvil of an impact wrench or driver ensuring a secure fit. Then attach the appropriate impact socket to the other end of the extension. Use the impact tool following the manufacturer's torque and safety guidelines to fasten or loosen bolts. After use, inspect the extension for signs of wear or deformation and store it in a dry tool case to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use only with tools and sockets rated for impact applications; avoid using with non-impact sockets. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when operating impact tools, and avoid applying excessive side loads to the extension to prevent bending or early wear.
