Impact socket Gedore 6140250 Depth 80 mm Height 45 mm Weight 109 g

The Gedore 6140250 impact socket is a hand-operated, knurled-grip socket made from Gedore vanadium steel (31CrV3), polished and chrome-plated. It conforms to DIN 3124 and ISO 2725-1, and features a square drive per DIN 3120 / ISO 1174 (C 12.5) with a ball retaining groove. The socket is available in sizes 16, 18 and 21 mm and has a depth of 80 mm and a height of 45 mm; a hole for a tommy bar with Ø 8 mm is drilled through the body.

Advantages

The chrome-plated 31CrV3 vanadium steel construction ensures high strength and wear resistance while the polished finish reduces corrosion. Conformance to DIN and ISO standards guarantees compatibility with standard square drives and secure retention via the ball groove. The knurled grip allows manual handling when positioning the socket, and the drilled hole for an Ø 8 mm tommy bar enables additional leverage for loosening tight fasteners. Its relatively low weight combined with a deep 80 mm profile makes it suitable for reach into recessed nuts without excessive bulk.

How to use

Select the correct socket size (16, 18 or 21 mm) for the fastener. Fit the socket onto a compatible square drive ratchet or extension of the matching C 12.5 (square) profile ensuring the ball retaining groove engages. For manual positioning use the knurled grip. When additional torque is required, insert an Ø 8 mm tommy bar through the drilled hole and apply steady force. After use, clean any contaminants and store the socket to protect the chrome finish.

Recommendations

Use with compatible square-drive impact or hand tools that match the specified drive size; avoid using the socket with improperly sized drives or on damaged fasteners. Periodically inspect the chrome surface and drive engagement for wear and remove debris to maintain secure fitting and safe operation.
