Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are included in the Britool Hallmark 32 Piece Impact Socket Set?
The set covers 7mm through to 22mm in consecutive metric sizes, with every size supplied in both standard and deep profiles. This provides 16 standard sockets and 16 deep sockets, giving 32 professional impact sockets in total.
What is the difference between the standard and deep impact sockets?
The standard-depth sockets provide a more compact profile for general fastening applications, while the deep sockets offer additional reach for recessed fasteners and nuts positioned on longer studs. Having both profiles from 7-22mm provides excellent versatility for automotive, mechanical and workshop applications.
Can these sockets be used with air and cordless impact wrenches?
Yes. These are dedicated impact-rated sockets manufactured for demanding powered fastening applications. They are suitable for compatible pneumatic air tools, cordless impact wrenches and other appropriately rated power tools, as well as suitable hand-operated drive equipment.
What is the benefit of the 6-point hexagon profile and Stress Relief Drive system?
The 6-point / hexagon profile provides positive engagement with compatible hexagonal nuts and bolt heads. Britool Hallmark's Stress Relief Drive system is designed to transfer force more effectively through the fastener flats rather than concentrating load at the corners, helping reduce the risk of fastener damage.
Are individual replacement sockets available for this 32-piece set?
Yes. Individual standard and deep impact sockets are available separately, allowing a lost, damaged or heavily used size to be replaced without purchasing another complete set. Each socket is also laser marked with the Britool Hallmark logo and individual part number for easy identification.
What are the Britool Hallmark impact sockets made from?
The sockets are manufactured from Chromium Molybdenum / Cr-Mo steel and heat treated for strength and durability. Cr-Mo is particularly suited to professional impact tooling because of its ability to withstand the repeated loads associated with powered impact applications.
