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

Covering certain premium and performance vehicle applications, this 23mm 1/2" drive impact socket provides specialist sizing with the protective features demanded by modern alloy wheel service work. The precision engineering ensures you can work confidently on high-value vehicles without risking damage to expensive wheels or their security fasteners. Crafted from Chrome Molybdenum steel and subjected to rigorous hardening and tempering processes, this socket is built to withstand the extreme forces generated during impact tool operation. What distinguishes it from standard impact sockets is the comprehensive sleeving system – both internal and external surfaces feature protective sleeves that create a cushioned barrier, preventing scratches, scuffs and marks on alloy wheel surfaces and nuts. The 6-point configuration maximises contact area with wheel nut flats, reducing the risk of rounding off corners even when dealing with corroded or over-torqued fasteners. Colour-coding enables instant size identification in toolboxes or during rapid wheel changes, whilst the anodised finish delivers excellent corrosion resistance for long-term durability.
