Impact socket Proline ZR18540 — 30 mm metric, 42 mm height

Proline ZR18540 — 30 mm metric, 42 mm height impact socket is engineered for heavy-duty fastening with impact wrenches and powered drivers. The 30 mm metric size and 42 mm overall height make it suitable for many wheel nuts and large bolts encountered in automotive repair and industrial maintenance. The socket is compatible with impact tools and delivers reliable engagement and torque transfer for demanding fastening operations.

Advantages

This impact socket combines robust construction with a universal internal profile that supports hexagonal, metric, inch, square, TORX and spline fasteners, reducing the need for multiple specialized sockets. Its design is optimized for use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches, providing improved durability under high torque and repeated shock loading. The 42 mm height offers sufficient depth to reach recessed nuts while maintaining compact overall dimensions for maneuverability in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel nut removal and installation
• Heavy machinery assembly and maintenance
• Commercial vehicle and fleet repair
• Industrial fastening where impact tools are used
• Workshops requiring a versatile socket for multiple fastener types

Key specifications

• Drive type: compatible with impact wrenches and powered drivers
• Size: 30 mm metric socket
• Overall height: 42 mm
• Internal profile: universal shape supporting hexagonal, metric, inch, square, TORX and spline fasteners

How to use

Select the Proline impact socket that corresponds to the fastener size and fit it securely onto the impact wrench drive. Ensure the socket fully engages the nut or bolt head before applying torque. Use steady, controlled strokes with the impact tool, allowing the socket to transfer torque without slipping. After use, inspect the socket for wear, cracks or deformation and replace if damaged to maintain safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Use with appropriately rated impact tools and the correct drive adaptor when needed. Apply appropriate torque settings for the fastener and follow manufacturer torque specifications. Store the socket in a dry place and avoid using impact sockets on hand ratchets or in applications for which they are not designed.
