Impact socket KS Tools 515.0992 1/2 inch drive height 86mm

The KS Tools 515.0992 impact socket with a 1/2" drive and 86 mm height is a professional-grade tool intended for heavy-duty impact applications. Manufactured to conform with ISO 1174 and DIN 3121 standards, this impact socket is engineered to deliver repeatable performance in automotive repair and industrial maintenance. With a mass around 220 g and robust construction, the tool provides the strength needed for high-torque fastening and loosening tasks while maintaining compatibility with common 1/2" impact wrenches and rattle guns.

Advantages

This impact socket offers high mechanical resilience through conformity with international standards, ensuring consistent geometry and fit on hex fasteners. Its 86 mm overall height provides better reach into recessed or deep-set nuts compared with standard shallow sockets. Designed for impact use, the socket resists damage from shock loading and reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads. The socket’s dimensions and drive interface enable reliable transfer of torque when used with 1/2" drive impact tools.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair: wheel nuts, suspension and drivetrain maintenance
• Industrial maintenance: machinery assembly and plant equipment servicing
• Heavy-duty fastening: structural bolting and high-torque loosening
• Workshop tool sets: as a replacement or addition to impact socket assortments

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible with standard 1/2" impact wrenches
• Overall height: 86 mm for extended reach
• Weight: approximately 220 g for balanced handling
• Standards: manufactured to meet ISO 1174 and DIN 3121 requirements
• Intended use: designed specifically for impact applications

How to use

Select the socket size that matches the fastener and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive impact wrench or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. For removal, use steady, controlled impact to avoid sudden torque spikes; for installation, apply appropriate torque and follow fastener manufacturer specifications when final tightening is required. Inspect the socket before each use for cracks, deformation, or wear, and replace it if any damage is present.

Recommendations

Use this impact socket only with tools and accessories rated for impact duty. Avoid using the socket on non-impact hand tools for high-torque jobs, and store it in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Regularly check fastener engagement and replace worn sockets to maintain safe and efficient operation.
