Impact socket Proline ZR18526 — 16 mm, 38 mm height

Proline ZR18526 — 16 mm, 38 mm height impact socket is a compact, impact-rated accessory designed for use with impact wrenches, pneumatic drivers and electric impact tools. With a 16 mm nominal size and 38 mm overall height, this socket provides a secure fit for fastening and loosening bolts and nuts in automotive repair, maintenance and workshop applications. The socket's universal shape allows engagement with multiple fastener types, including hexagonal, metric, inch, square, TORX and spline heads, reducing the need to change tools during mixed fastener jobs.

Advantages

The impact socket is manufactured to withstand high torque and repeated impacts, offering durability and resistance to wear. Its 38 mm height balances accessibility and strength, allowing access to recessed fasteners while maintaining wall thickness for impact use. The universal profile improves versatility across different fastener standards and minimizes slippage. The socket is compatible with standard impact tool drive interfaces, providing reliable connection and efficient power transfer.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel, brake or suspension service
• General maintenance in workshops and industrial settings
• Assembly and disassembly tasks with mixed fastener types
• Pneumatic and electric impact wrench operations

Key specifications

• Nominal size: 16 mm
• Overall height: 38 mm
• Designed for impact use with high-torque tools
• Universal engagement shape for hex, metric, inch, square, TORX and spline fasteners
• Durable construction suitable for repeated impact loading

How to use

Select the 16 mm Proline impact socket and secure it onto the square drive of a compatible impact wrench or ratchet adapter. Fit the socket onto the fastener until fully seated to ensure correct engagement. When loosening or tightening, apply controlled bursts of the impact tool to avoid over-torquing; for precision torque requirements, finish with a torque wrench if necessary. After use, inspect the socket for cracks or excessive wear and store it in a dry, organized toolbox.

Usage recommendations

Use only with tools and extensions rated for impact service. Avoid using the socket with hand-only ratchets designed for non-impact use. Regularly inspect the socket for deformation or chips, and replace it if damage is detected. For critical fasteners, confirm final torque with a calibrated torque wrench.
