Ultra-short forged chrome-moly impact sockets for fasteners where ordinary shallow sockets consume too much space. Each socket is under 3/4 inch long and has an 11 mm outside hex so it can also be driven with a compatible wrench.

COMPATIBILITY
Tool and fastener compatibility
Use with a 1/4-inch square-drive impact tool within the socket and fastener ratings.
The 11 mm outside hex can be used with a compatible wrench when access demands it.
These are low-profile sockets; confirm reach is sufficient before using them on recessed nuts or long studs.
