Impact socket accessory Proline ZR18517, length 38 mm

Proline ZR18517 is an impact socket accessory with a 38 mm overall length, designed for use with impact wrenches and pneumatic or electric impact drivers. Manufactured from forged chromium-vanadium steel with controlled hardening and tempering, this impact-rated socket delivers the torsional strength and wear resistance required for repeated use in automotive repair, general maintenance and industrial fastening tasks. The exterior is chrome-plated and polished to resist corrosion and simplify cleaning after use.

Advantages

The Proline impact socket features a reinforced design that meets and exceeds common durability expectations. Its PRO-DRIVE edge profiling reduces point loads on fastener heads, helping to protect screw geometry and extend both socket and fastener life. Precise heat treatment ensures consistent hardness and reliable performance under shock loading from impact tools. The chrome finish offers additional protection against rust while making the tool easier to inspect and maintain.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and tyre service work
• General mechanical maintenance and assembly
• Industrial fastening where impact-rated sockets are required
• Workshops using pneumatic or electric impact drivers

Key specifications

• Tool type: impact socket accessory designed for use with impact wrenches and drivers
• Length: 38 mm (overall)
• Material: forged chromium-vanadium steel with hardened and tempered treatment
• Finish: chrome-plated and polished surface
• Edge design: PRO-DRIVE profiled edges to reduce point loads on fasteners

How to use

Select the correct socket size for the fastener and securely attach the socket to a compatible impact wrench or driver. Ensure the retaining mechanism (pin or detent) on the tool and socket are engaged where applicable. Apply controlled, intermittent impact torque while maintaining a stable grip on the tool; avoid sustained, excessive force once the fastener loosens to prevent damage to the socket or fastener. After use, inspect the socket for wear or deformation and clean and store it in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use this impact socket only with tools rated for impact use and compatible drive sizes. Avoid using a non-impact socket on impact tools. Periodically check for rounded corners, cracks or other damage; replace the socket if any structural defects are found. Store in a dry, organized toolbox or holder to maintain condition and facilitate quick selection during work.
