MAKITA B-40076 1/2" Impact Socket 10x38 mm

MAKITA B-40076 1/2" Impact Socket 10x38 mm
The MAKITA B-40076 is a standard short impact socket with a 10 mm socket opening and a 1/2" (12.7 mm) square drive. Pairing a 1/2" drive with a 10 mm nut is engineered to provide exceptional strength and durability for use with high-power impact wrenches.The socket is manufactured from Chrome-Molybdenum Steel (Cr-Mo), the industry-standard material for impact sockets due to its high toughness and resistance to repeated impact shocks during operation. The socket has an overall length of 38 mm and features a Black Phosphate Finish to prevent rust, resist wear, and make it easily identifiable as an impact socket.

Specifications
- Cr-Mo material provides the required strength and flexibility to continuously absorb impact shocks without cracking.
- The 1/2" drive, being larger than the nut size (10 mm), ensures the socket will not twist or break under high torque.
- 6-Point design evenly distributes force to the sides of the fastener, reducing the risk of rounding or stripping the corners of the 10 mm nut.
- Black Phosphate finish extends socket life, even when used in environments exposed to moisture, oil, or dust.
- Compatible with all brands of 1/2" impact tools and includes a drilled hole to accommodate a pin and O-ring for secure attachment during operation.

Applications & Usage
- Automotive maintenance: Used for tightening/loosening 10 mm nuts and bolts (such as M6 bolts) requiring relatively high torque, such as installing or removing components in engine bays and undercarriages of cars and motorcycles.
- Machinery and steel furniture assembly: Ideal for assembly plants that require speed and torque for small to medium-sized fasteners.
- General use: Used with both cordless and pneumatic impact wrenches featuring a 1/2" drive for tasks demanding strength and speed.
