Socket wrenches, also known as ratchets, allow for continuous motion in one direction, making them more efficient at tightening and loosening nuts and bolts. Simply attach the required socket to the ratchet and use the switch to choose the turning direction before operating.
Impact sockets are constructed with a stronger, more durable chrome molybdenum steel. This steel is stronger than the steel used for traditional sockets and offers stronger rust resistance and longer life span. Impact sockets are commonly used for both light and heavy-duty work.
No, air ratchets cannot use regular sockets. Regular sockets are not designed to be used with air ratchets and may not be able to handle an air ratchet’s additional force. Besoin d’aide? Contact one of our equipment experts for further guidance.
