Socket Set Proxxon 12.5 mm (1/2") Impact Sockets, 3-piece, model 23938

Proxxon 12.5 mm (1/2") Impact Sockets, 3-piece set model 23938 is a compact selection of impact-rated sockets intended for heavy-duty fastening tasks. The set is engineered for compatibility with 1/2" (12.5 mm) drive impact wrenches and offers three commonly used socket sizes for automotive, maintenance and industrial applications where high torque and repeated impacts are expected.

Advantages

The sockets are manufactured to withstand the stresses of impact tools, providing increased resistance to cracking and deformation compared with standard hand-tool sockets. Their robust construction ensures secure fit on fasteners and reliable performance under high torque. The compact three-piece assortment simplifies tool selection for routine repair and maintenance work while saving storage space.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel nut removal and lug nut fitting
• General vehicle maintenance and repair
• Industrial assembly and heavy equipment servicing
• Workshop use with 1/2" drive impact wrenches

Key specifications

• Drive size: 12.5 mm (1/2") compatible with 1/2" impact wrenches
• Quantity: 3 sockets in the set
• Application: Impact-rated for use with impact tools
• Intended use: High-torque fastening and loosening of hex fasteners
• Construction: Designed for improved resistance to shock and wear during repeated impact use

How to use

Select the socket that matches the fastener size, push it firmly onto the tool's 1/2" drive and ensure the retaining mechanism (pin/clip or detent on the wrench) is engaged if applicable. When using an impact wrench, apply controlled bursts rather than continuous maximum power where possible to avoid over-torquing. After use, clean debris from the socket bore and exterior, and store the sockets in a dry place to minimise corrosion and maintain fit.

Usage recommendations

Use only with impact-rated tools and appropriate safety equipment. Do not use these sockets with hand ratchets or torque-limiting tools to achieve precise torque values; instead use a torque wrench and appropriate non-impact sockets for final torque checks. Inspect sockets regularly for cracks or deformation and replace if any damage is detected.
