Impact Socket Gedore 6122940

Impact Socket Gedore 6122940 is a hand-operated hexagon socket with square drive according to DIN 3120 - C 12.5 and ISO 1174. Made from Gedore vanadium steel (31CrV3), it is engineered for durability and precise fit. The tool features VDE insulation up to 1000 V in accordance with EN 60900/IEC 60900, with two-ply Check-Tool insulation and an insulation overhang of 16–18 mm. Available sizes include 27, 30 and 32 mm; for sizes 27, 30 and 32 the diameter d1 is not standardised. The socket has a depth of 29 mm, height 29 mm and weighs 69 g.

Advantages

The socket combines impact-capable construction with VDE-certified insulation, allowing safe manual work on live electrical systems up to 1000 V. Vanadium steel 31CrV3 provides high strength and wear resistance while the compact dimensions and low weight support ease of handling. Two-ply Check-Tool insulation and the specified overhang improve user protection and conformity with EN 60900/IEC 60900.

Key specifications

How to use

Select the correct socket size (27, 30 or 32 mm) for the fastener, mount the socket on a compatible square drive (C 12.5) and apply manual or impact torque as required. For electrical work, ensure the insulation is intact before use and verify that the system voltage does not exceed 1000 V. Avoid using the socket if insulation is damaged or if signs of excessive wear are present.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect the VDE insulation and tool surface for damage. Use appropriate hand or impact drivers and observe the maximum rated voltage and safety standards (EN 60900/IEC 60900). Store the socket dry and protected from corrosive environments to maintain performance and insulation integrity.
