Impact Socket Gedore 6234740 Depth 55 mm Height 30 mm Weight 68 g

The Gedore 6234740 impact socket is engineered for heavy-duty fastening and loosening tasks where reliability and tool endurance are required. Manufactured from Gedore vanadium steel 31CrV3, the socket is polished and chrome-plated for corrosion resistance. It conforms to DIN 3124 and ISO 2725-1 standards for socket geometry, and its square drive follows DIN 3120 - C 10 and ISO 1174 with a ball retention groove to secure the drive connection during impact and hand-operated use.

Advantages

This impact socket combines a hardened vanadium-steel construction with a polished chrome finish to balance strength and surface protection. The ball retention groove provides secure engagement with the ratchet or impact tool, reducing fastener slippage. Its compact dimensions — 55 mm depth and 30 mm height — and a weight of 68 g keep the tool lightweight and easy to handle while maintaining the durability expected for professional applications.

Key specifications

How to use

Select the appropriate socket size for the fastener and fit it onto a compatible square drive tool. Ensure the ball retention groove engages with the drive tool's detent ball to prevent accidental disconnection. For impact tool use, verify compatibility with the impact wrench; when used by hand, the knurled grip aids manual turning. Apply torque gradually and avoid exceeding the torque ratings of the fastener or the drive tool to prevent damage.

Recommendations

Use with correctly rated impact or hand tools and regularly inspect the socket for wear, cracks or corrosion. Clean and lightly lubricate the drive interface after use to maintain the ball retention function and prolong service life.
