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.

Designed for Impact & Power Tools
Unlike conventional Chrome Vanadium hand sockets, this range is manufactured from Cr-Mo steel specifically for impact applications.
The robust construction makes the sockets suitable for compatible 1/2" drive air and powered impact tools, while the side retaining hole allows a pin-and-ring system to be fitted where required.
Using the correct impact-rated socket is particularly important when working with powered tools due to the repeated shock loading generated during operation.
