The Genius Tools DI-415M 15 Piece Thin Wall Semi-Deep Impact Socket Set is a professional-quality 1/2" square drive metric impact socket set designed for applications where strength, improved fastener access and additional socket depth are essential.
Manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel (Cr-Mo), these impact-rated sockets are engineered to withstand the repeated loading and high torque generated by compatible pneumatic and cordless impact tools.
The combination of a thin wall profile and semi-deep socket construction provides improved accessibility around closely positioned fasteners while offering additional reach compared with conventional shallow impact sockets.
Each socket measures approximately 52mm in overall length, providing a useful intermediate depth between standard and deep impact sockets.
The set includes 15 consecutive metric sizes from 10mm through to 24mm, each featuring a 6-point hexagonal profile for secure engagement with suitable hexagonal nuts and bolts.
Designed for professional automotive, mechanical and industrial applications, the DI-415M is particularly useful for suspension repairs, engine work, vehicle servicing, machinery maintenance and other demanding workshop tasks.

Thin Wall Impact Socket Design
The thin wall construction is one of the principal advantages of the DI-415M set.
Conventional impact sockets can have relatively thick walls, which may prevent them from fitting into recessed openings or around fasteners positioned close to surrounding components.
The DI-415M sockets feature a slimmer external profile designed to improve access where clearance around the fastener is limited.
This makes them particularly useful for automotive and mechanical applications involving recessed nuts, closely positioned components and restricted socket clearance.
Despite their reduced wall thickness, the sockets are manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel and designed specifically for compatible impact tool applications.
As with all thin wall impact sockets, the correct tool size and operating conditions should be observed to avoid overloading or damaging the socket.
Semi-Deep Socket Profile – Approximately 52mm Long
The DI-415M sockets feature a semi-deep design, with an overall length of approximately 52mm.
This intermediate profile provides additional reach compared with conventional shallow impact sockets without the extra length associated with full deep sockets.
Semi-deep impact sockets are particularly useful when:
Fasteners are slightly recessed within an assembly
Additional clearance is required around surrounding components
A standard impact socket is too short
A full deep impact socket is unnecessarily long
The technician requires a practical balance between access and reach
The 52mm semi-deep profile makes this set a versatile choice for everyday professional workshop applications.
6-Point Hexagonal Socket Profile
Each socket features a 6-point hexagonal profile, designed for engagement with compatible hexagonal nuts and bolts.
The six-sided configuration provides a secure fit around suitable fastener heads and is particularly useful for demanding impact fastening applications.
Correctly sized 6-point sockets help distribute the applied turning force across the fastener's contact surfaces, reducing the likelihood of slipping compared with an incorrectly fitted socket.
The 6-point design, combined with impact-rated Cr-Mo construction, makes the DI-415M particularly suitable for professional mechanical fastening tasks.
Chrome Molybdenum Steel Construction
The sockets are manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel (Cr-Mo), a material widely used in professional impact socket construction.
Chrome molybdenum steel is selected for its strength and toughness under the repeated loading associated with powered impact tools.
This makes it particularly suitable for sockets intended for regular use with pneumatic and cordless impact equipment.
The combination of Cr-Mo construction, thin wall geometry and semi-deep design provides a practical balance of strength, accessibility and versatility.
Designed for Impact Tools
The Genius Tools DI-415M is specifically designed for impact applications, unlike conventional chrome-plated hand sockets that are not intended for powered impact use.
The sockets are suitable for compatible equipment including:
- Pneumatic air impact wrenches
- Cordless impact wrenches
- Compatible 1/2" drive impact tools
The impact-rated construction makes the set particularly useful for automotive servicing, mechanical repairs and industrial maintenance.
Always select the correct socket size and ensure the impact tool's output is appropriate for the socket and application.
1/2" Square Drive
The DI-415M set uses a standard 1/2" square drive, one of the most widely used drive sizes in professional automotive and mechanical workshops.
The 1/2" drive format provides compatibility with a broad range of suitable impact tools and accessories.
It is particularly useful for medium-to-larger automotive fasteners, including those encountered during suspension, chassis, engine and general mechanical servicing.
