The Britool Hallmark 1/2" Drive Ribe Impact Socket Range is designed for professional automotive, mechanical and engineering applications requiring a strong and reliable Ribe driver profile for high-torque fastening work.

Manufactured from high-quality Chromium-Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel, these impact-rated driver sockets are engineered to withstand the torque and shock loads generated by suitable pneumatic air tools, cordless impact wrenches and power tools.

Each socket features a precision 6-sided Ribe driver profile for positive engagement with compatible Ribe fasteners. With an overall length of approximately 60mm, the sockets provide a practical combination of reach, strength and control for automotive servicing and professional workshop applications.

A retaining hole is incorporated into the side of each socket, allowing optional use with a suitable pin and ring for additional socket retention during impact applications.

Each socket is individually laser marked with the Britool Hallmark logo and part number, making identification easy and allowing individual sizes to be replaced or added to an existing tool collection when required.

Each socket also has a retaining hole for optional use with a suitable pin-and-ring retention system.
What are Ribe sockets used for in automotive repairs?
Ribe driver sockets are used with specialist Ribe-profile fasteners found in various automotive, engine, mechanical and engineering applications. They are particularly useful for professional mechanics and vehicle technicians carrying out engine repairs, vehicle servicing, mechanical assembly and high-torque fastening work where the correct Ribe profile is specified.
Are Ribe, Torx and XZN Triple Square sockets the same?
No. Ribe, Torx and XZN (Triple Square) are different fastener profiles, even though they can appear similar. Using an incorrect driver can result in poor engagement and potentially damage the fastener or tool. Always identify the fastener profile and select the correct Ribe socket size before applying torque, particularly when using an impact wrench.

Yes. The complete Britool Hallmark LRIBEP11 11-piece 1/2" drive Ribe impact socket set contains all available sizes from M4 to M18. This is a convenient option for UK automotive workshops, professional garages, mechanics and engineers requiring a comprehensive Ribe driver selection, while individual sockets are available when only a specific size or replacement is needed.
