MAKITA B-40107 1/2" Impact Socket 13x38 mm

MAKITA B-40107 Impact Socket 1/2" Size 13x38 mm
The MAKITA B-40107 is a metric short impact socket featuring a 13 mm socket size and a 1/2" (12.7 mm) square drive. The 13 mm size is commonly used with M8 or M9 bolts/nuts, and pairing it with a 1/2" drive provides exceptional strength and stability when subjected to repetitive impact forces.This socket is made from Chrome-Molybdenum Steel (Cr-Mo), an essential material for impact tools due to its superior impact fracture resistance compared to Chrome-Vanadium (Cr-V) steel. The socket has an overall length of 38 mm and is coated with a Black Phosphate Finish, which prevents rust and serves as a standard indicator for impact-grade tools.

Specifications
- Cr-Mo construction provides significantly higher toughness and resistance to torque and impact compared to standard chrome sockets.
- Maximum Torque Transfer: The robust 1/2-inch drive allows impact tools to efficiently transfer maximum energy to 13 mm fasteners.
- Reduces Fastener Rounding: The 6-point design delivers full contact across the flat surfaces of the fastener, minimizing slippage and damage to fastener corners.
- Corrosion Resistant: The dense black coating prevents damage from rust, oil, or cleaning agents in factory or garage environments.
- Secure Attachment: Features a groove and hole for a pin and O-ring to firmly secure the socket to the impact wrench, preventing it from detaching during use.

Applications & Usage
- Automotive Repair and Maintenance: Used for tightening/loosening 13 mm nuts and bolts, a common standard size found in engine components, chassis, or brake systems of most vehicles.
- Structural Assembly: Suitable for industrial applications, machinery installation, or steel structure assembly using 13 mm bolts that require high fastening torque.
- Compatible with impact wrenches: Can be used with all types of impact wrenches with a 1/2-inch drive, whether cordless or pneumatic.
