Individual Impact Sockets
Individual impact sockets let you replace lost pieces, build your own set or stock up on sizes you use most. Designed for high torque use with impact drivers and wrenches, each socket is heat-treated and hardened for maximum durability and safety on-site or in the workshop.
Where Are Individual Impact Sockets Used?
Perfect for maintenance, backup or custom setups:
- Lost Socket Replacements – Buy exactly the size you need to complete your kit
- Toolbox Essentials – Stock multiple of your most-used size for fast changes
- Workshop or Mobile Kits – Create drive-specific packs for impact tools
- Deep vs Shallow – Choose per task: reach vs speed
Used By:
- Mechanics and M&E trades with custom torque setups
- Site fitters topping up impact kits
- Anyone replacing a broken or missing socket
Choosing the Right Socket
Match your tool drive and depth to the job:
1. Drive Size
Most common are 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive. Check your wrench or driver spec before selecting.
2. Socket Depth
Standard sockets are shorter for faster fastening. Deep sockets help reach nuts on long bolts or recessed fittings.
3. Material & Finish
Look for CrMo (chrome molybdenum) with black oxide or phosphate finish — hardened for impact resistance and rust protection.

Individual Impact Socket FAQs
Are these sockets compatible with any impact wrench?
Yes — as long as the drive size matches. Use 1/2" sockets with 1/2" drive tools, and always check for impact rating.
What’s better, deep or shallow sockets?
Deep sockets are better for bolts on long studs or recessed fixings. Shallow ones are faster for open access areas.
What if I lose a socket from my kit?
Just order the size you need from our individual listings — all sockets are trade rated and sold loose or boxed.
Will these work with hand ratchets?
Yes — impact sockets are safe for use with hand tools as well, but are heavier than chrome versions.
