Impact socket accessory Proline ZR18514, 38 mm length, for impact wrenches

The Proline ZR18514 impact socket accessory is a 38 mm long hexagonal socket designed for use with impact wrenches and pneumatic or electric fastening tools. Manufactured from forged chromium‑vanadium steel with a precise hardening and tempering process, this compact impact socket delivers the hardness and durability required for repeated heavy‑duty fastening. Its chrome‑plated and polished finish ensures corrosion resistance and smooth insertion, while the Pro‑Drive profiled edges reduce point loads on fasteners to protect screw heads and socket surfaces during high‑torque impact use.

Advantages

This impact socket meets and exceeds durability requirements of common industrial standards, offering a balance of strength and wear resistance for professional and DIY applications. The compact 38 mm length allows access in confined spaces where standard sockets may not fit. The Pro‑Drive edge profiling minimizes damage to fasteners and extends the service life of both the socket and bolts under impact wrench operation. Chrome plating and polish facilitate cleaning and resist corrosion.

Suitable for

• Use with impact wrenches, pneumatic impact guns, and electric impact drivers
• Tightening and loosening hex‑head bolts and nuts in automotive repair
• Work in confined or recessed fastening locations where a compact socket is required
• Professional maintenance, construction, and home workshop tasks requiring impact‑rated sockets

Key specifications

• Socket type: hexagonal impact socket
• Length: 38 mm (compact length for restricted access)
• Material: forged chromium‑vanadium steel
• Surface finish: chrome plated and polished
• Design feature: Pro‑Drive profiled edges to reduce point loads and wear
• Compatibility: for use with standard impact wrench drive sizes (check drive fit before use)

How to use

Select the correct socket size for the fastener and fit it securely to the impact wrench drive. Ensure the socket seats fully onto the fastener head before applying torque. When operating, hold the tool firmly and apply brief bursts of torque rather than continuous force to control fastening. After use, inspect the socket for cracks or excessive wear and keep it clean and dry to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long service life, use this Proline impact socket only with impact‑rated tools and accessories. Do not use with hand wrenches for levering or hammering. Replace sockets that show visible deformation, cracks, or excessive rounding of the working profile. Store in a dry place and avoid exposure to corrosive chemicals.
