Impact Socket Proline ZR18500, 8 mm metric, 38 mm height

Proline ZR18500 is an 8 mm metric impact socket engineered for use with impact wrenches and pneumatic or electric impact drivers. With a 38 mm overall height, this impact socket reaches recessed fasteners while maintaining reliable torque transfer for tightening and loosening bolts and nuts in automotive, maintenance and assembly tasks. The socket's universal internal geometry enables compatibility with hexagonal fasteners and a range of other profiles, making it a compact and versatile tool for workshop and field use.

Advantages

The impact socket is manufactured from impact-rated alloy steel and heat-treated for strength and durability, resisting deformation and wear under repeated high-torque cycles. Its compact 38 mm height allows access to shallow recesses and confined spaces where standard sockets may not fit. The 8 mm size provides precise engagement with metric fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding or slippage. A corrosion-resistant finish improves service life in workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel maintenance
• Industrial maintenance and machinery servicing
• Assembly lines and production equipment fastening
• Field service work with pneumatic or battery impact drivers

Key specifications

• Drive type: impact socket compatible with 1/4" or relevant impact tool adapters
• Socket size: 8 mm metric
• Overall height: 38 mm
• Material: impact-rated alloy steel (heat-treated)
• Finish: corrosion-resistant coating
• Internal geometry: universal profile for hexagonal and multiple fastener types

How to use

Select an appropriate impact wrench or driver and verify tool compatibility with the socket drive. Securely attach the socket to the impact tool using the correct adapter or retaining detent if required. Position the socket centrally over the fastener and apply short bursts of torque when tightening or loosening to maintain control. Inspect the socket regularly for signs of wear or cracking and replace if damaged to ensure safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye and hand protection when operating impact tools. Avoid using the impact socket with hand tools intended for non-impact use. For critical fastenings, verify torque with a calibrated torque wrench after final tightening with the impact driver.
