SI ZE S: 2- VE Wright Tool Leads in Impact Sockets 1/4 3/8 1-1 1/2 Impact tools save time and handle high torques with less effort and more safety. Wright Tool makes impact sockets and attachments for almost every size and drive for which we make a hand socket because no hand socket is recommended for impact gun use. Wright impact tools are stronger and tougher to withstand the repeated high loads produced by impact guns, which are often higher than can be produced by hand. Wright impact sockets are always black, not only to distinguish them from hand sockets, which are usually plated, but also to avoid the chipping which could occur when a plated socket is subjected to thousands of cycles of very high loads. (Wright and other manufacturers make some black finish hand tools for specialized applications. These are not for impact use.) Wright 6 pt. sockets use the patented Wright Drive ® design for greater strength and longer life. Wright Tool also manufactures 12 pt. impact sockets with our Wright Drive ® design. 102 www.wrighttool.com 3/4 /2 1 In addition, Wright makes large impact sockets which are beyond the range of hand application. These go up to 10" opening and 3-1/2" drive. The 2-1/2" and 3-1/2" drive sockets are normally driven with hydraulic power. Because of the high loads involved, the impact designs are much safer for these drivers. While 1-1/2" impact guns are available, the hydraulic driver is often more convenient to use and has the advantage of controlling the amount of torque applied.
