Sealey 1/2" Drive Impact Socket Metric for Alloy Wheels

Designed for specific vehicle applications including certain vans and larger cars, this 24mm 1/2" drive impact socket provides the specialist sizing required whilst incorporating the protective technology essential for alloy wheel work. The robust construction combined with damage-prevention features makes it suitable for both high-volume commercial workshops and enthusiast mechanics. Engineered from hardened and tempered Chrome Molybdenum steel, this socket handles the substantial shock loads of impact wrench operation without deformation. The innovative double-sleeving arrangement covers both external and internal surfaces, creating a protective cushion that prevents direct metal-to-metal contact with alloy wheels and their fixings – crucial for avoiding costly cosmetic damage claims. The 6-point socket design ensures maximum engagement with fastener flats, distributing impact forces evenly to reduce stress points that could round off corners. An anodised finish provides long-lasting corrosion resistance even in damp workshop conditions, whilst the colour-coding system enables rapid socket identification during wheel service operations.
