Impact Socket 28 mm 1/2" 6-Point — STANLEY FK-44528

STANLEY Impact Socket 28 mm 1/2" 6-Point is a hardened impact-rated socket designed for attachment to 1/2" drive impact wrenches. It fits 28 mm hex fasteners and bolts and is intended for use where high torque and repeated impact loading are required. The socket’s 6-point profile provides a secure seat on hex heads, reducing rounding and allowing efficient power transfer from pneumatic or electric impact tools.

Advantages

The socket is manufactured from hardened steel for improved strength and wear resistance under impact conditions. Its 6-point geometry concentrates contact on the flats of fasteners to reduce slippage and damage. Compatibility with 1/2" drive tools ensures broad use with common impact wrenches and breaker guns. The design supports reliable torque transmission and long service life in demanding professional environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel nut removal
• Construction assembly and structural bolting
• Industrial maintenance and equipment servicing
• Mechanical workshops using pneumatic or electric impact tools

Key specifications

• Socket size: 28 mm
• Drive size: 1/2" (12.7 mm)
• Profile: 6-point (hex)
• Tool compatibility: impact wrenches (pneumatic and electric)
• Material: hardened impact-grade steel
• Typical use: high-torque fastening and loosening

How to use

Select the 28 mm socket when the fastener head matches the nominal size. Fit the socket onto a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or breaker, ensuring the retaining mechanism (pin, ring or detent) is engaged as applicable. Position the socket squarely on the fastener, apply steady pressure and operate the impact tool according to the tool manufacturer’s guidelines. Inspect the socket regularly for signs of wear, cracking or deformation and replace if damage is found.

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion protection or anti-seize where needed when working in corrosive environments. Match torque settings on impact tools to recommended values for the specific fasteners to avoid over-torquing. Store the socket in a dry place and keep it clean to preserve its service life.
