Draper Expert 1/4" Drive Hi Torq Hexagon Impact Socket Metric

The Draper Expert HI-TORQ® 8mm impact socket is an essential workshop staple, widely used across automotive maintenance, motorcycle servicing, and general mechanical repair. This 1/4" square drive socket handles one of the most common metric fastener sizes, making it indispensable for daily professional use.

Crafted from high-grade chrome molybdenum steel through precision forging processes, this 8mm socket exhibits exceptional durability under demanding conditions. The carefully controlled hardening and tempering sequence optimises the steel's mechanical properties, ensuring the socket maintains its dimensional integrity even after thousands of impact cycles. Chemical blackening creates a robust protective layer that resists corrosion in humid workshop environments whilst preserving the socket's precise tolerances.

The 6-point HI-TORQ® design provides superior fastener engagement, distributing torque across a larger contact area to prevent bolt damage. Engineered specifically for impact duty, this socket is certified safe for use with pneumatic impact wrenches, electric impact drivers, and manual impact tools.

Features and Benefits:
• Forged from chrome molybdenum hardened, tempered and chemically blacked for corrosion protection
• Safety Note: ONLY impact sockets and accessories can be used with air or electric powered wrenches NEVER use silver chrome vanadium steel sockets which can shatter and cause personal injury
