MAKITA B-40048 3/8" Impact Socket 22x30 mm
The MAKITA B-40048 is a standard short impact socket featuring a 22 mm socket opening and a 3/8" drive (a very large socket size for a 3/8" drive). This socket is an essential accessory for users of 3/8" impact tools, which typically offer a compact size combined with high torque.Constructed from Chrome-Molybdenum Steel (Cr-Mo), a material specifically selected for impact sockets due to its superior resistance to torque and impact compared to standard Chrome-Vanadium (Cr-V) steel. The socket has a length of 30 mm and features a black finish to prevent rust and corrosion from heavy use in diverse work environments.

Specifications
- Cr-Mo construction provides excellent resistance to high-torque impacts from pneumatic or cordless impact wrenches, preventing distortion and cracking.
- 6-point socket design provides a secure grip on 22 mm fasteners, maximizing torque transfer efficiency and reducing the risk of rounding fastener corners.
- Using a 3/8-inch drive with a 22 mm size allows working on large fasteners in tight spaces where 1/2-inch impact tools might not fit
- Black Oxide Coated finish provides additional protection against rust and corrosion in tough working conditions
- Best suited for use with a pin and ring (Pin and Ring) to securely retain the socket on the drive anvil
