Impact Socket 38 mm 1" 6-Point — Rockforce RF-48538

Rockforce impact socket RF-48538 is a 38 mm (1") 6-point socket engineered for use with impact wrenches and heavy-duty fastening operations. Manufactured by Rockforce, this socket is built to transfer high torque reliably while maintaining secure engagement with hexagonal fasteners. Its 6-point internal profile reduces rounding on bolt heads and optimizes contact area for stubborn or seized fasteners, making it suitable for demanding automotive, industrial and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry of this impact socket ensures positive engagement with hexagonal heads, improving torque transmission and reducing the risk of slipping. Constructed from impact-grade alloy with heat treatment for toughness, the socket withstands repeated impact loading and resists deformation. The 1" drive size provides compatibility with large impact wrenches used in heavy machinery and commercial vehicle service, while the 38 mm diameter fits a wide range of nuts and bolts commonly found in professional settings.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and suspension work on commercial and heavy vehicles
• Industrial machinery assembly and disassembly
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring high torque
• Construction equipment servicing and field repairs

Key specifications

• Socket size: 38 mm (1")
• Internal profile: 6-point (hex)
• Drive interface: 1 inch
• Material type: impact-grade alloy steel with heat treatment
• Intended use: impact wrench / pneumatic and electric impact tools

How to use

Select the 38 mm 6-point socket for matching hex fasteners and attach it securely to a compatible 1" drive impact wrench. Ensure the tool and socket are clean and free of damage before operation. Place the socket fully onto the fastener head to achieve full engagement, then apply controlled impact torque according to the fastener specification and the torque capabilities of the impact tool. Use steady pressure and avoid side loading to minimize socket and fastener wear.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the socket for cracks, deformation or excessive wear and replace if any damage is detected. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow manufacturer guidelines for your impact wrench. For corrosion protection, store the socket dry and apply light oil if long-term storage is required.
