MAKITA B-10497 1/2" Impact Socket 10x38 mm

MAKITA B-10497 1/2" Impact Socket 10x38 mm
The MAKITA B-10497 is a metric standard short impact socket with a 10 mm socket opening and a 1/2" (12.7 mm) square drive. Using a 10 mm socket with a 1/2" impact wrench is common in applications that require higher torque than what an impact driver or smaller impact wrench can deliver, such as certain engine or suspension mounting fasteners on vehicles.This socket is manufactured to DIN 3129 standards using Chrome-Molybdenum Steel (Cr-Mo) through a specialized manufacturing process that achieves high material density. This gives the socket exceptional toughness and durability when used with high-torque impact tools.With a length of just 38 mm, this socket is an excellent choice for working in hard-to-reach and confined areas. The Black Phosphate Finish also helps protect against rust, corrosion, and operational wear and tear.

Specifications
- Maximum Impact Resistance: Made from Cr-Mo steel for the strength and toughness essential for impact applications.
- Long Service Life: Specialized manufacturing process provides high material density and manufacturing precision compliant with DIN 3129 standards.
- Ideal for Confined Spaces: The short 38 mm profile enhances maneuverability when working in tight corners or narrow areas.
- Corrosion Protection: Black Phosphate finish resists rust and oil.

Applications & Usage
- Automotive Maintenance: Used for tightening/loosening 10 mm nuts installed on critical vehicle components, such as engine cover bolts, small suspension parts, or engine bay components requiring high tightness.
- Industrial Assembly: Suitable for installing equipment or structures using 10 mm bolts where an impact wrench is required for speed and precise torque.
- Use with Impact Wrench: Specifically designed for use with 1/2-inch impact wrenches in high-torque applications requiring maximum tool durability.
