These Original Britool Industrial Whitworth Impact Sockets are genuine UK-manufactured tools produced at the renowned Britool Cannock factory before its closure. Designed for professional use with impact wrenches, pneumatic tools, and power tools, these sockets are now increasingly difficult to source and represent a rare piece of British engineering heritage.
Manufactured with a robust 6-point hexagon profile, the sockets provide secure engagement with Whitworth fasteners while delivering the durability required for high-torque applications.
Each socket incorporates Britool's Corner Relief Drive System, which positions contact away from the corners of the fastener and onto the flats, improving torque transfer, reducing stress concentration, and helping to minimise fastener damage under load.
