Types of Sockets (Drive to Hex/Opening Ratio)
Type A	Type B	Type C	Type D

Variant Type
Adapter	Catch Sockets
Extensions	Thick Wall Impact Sockets
Regular Length / Standard Impact Sockets	Thin Wall Impact Sockets
Deep Impact Sockets	Bud Wheels Impact Sockets
Magnetic Impact Sockets	Insert Reducers / Reducers
Loss of Vibration	One Part InHex Driver
Universal Impact Sockets	Two-Part InHex Driver
Torsion Bars	Two-Side Male Adapters
Steel Aluminium Impact Sockets	Two-Side Female Adapters

To briefly explain a few variants:

1. Standard Impact Sockets: These are the most basic type of impact socketsand are suitable for most general fastening applications. They come in standard sizes and drive types.
2. Deep Impact Sockets: As the name suggests, these sockets are designed with a deeper wall, making them ideal for use with fasteners that are recessed or hard to reach. They come in various drive types and sizes.
3. Thin Wall Impact Sockets: Thin wall impact sockets are designed for use in tight spaces, where regular impact sockets would be too thick to fit. They have a thin wall design, making them ideal for use with fasteners that are close to surrounding obstructions.
4. Swivel Impact Sockets: Swivel impact sockets are designed with a swivel head that allows for greater flexibility in tight spaces. They come in various drive types and sizes.

Materials Used in Impact Sockets:
Impact sockets are made of high-grade steel alloys that are heat treated, this makes the industrial impact sockets strong, durable, and resistant to wear and tear. Customized Material selection for special applications is possible when you ask for the best impact wrench sockets that Tritorc offers.

Benefits of Using Tritorc’s Impact Sockets:

1. Durability: Heavy Duty Impact sockets are designed to withstand the rigors of On-Field applications, making them ideal for use in industrial and automotive settings. They are made of high-quality materials that provide strength and durability.
2. Versatility: Industrial Impact sockets come in various shapes, sizes, and drive types, making them suitable for use in a wide range of fastening applications. They can be used with impact wrenches, Hydraulic Torque Wrenches, Pneumatic Torque Wrenches, Electrical Wrenches, and other hand-held tools. Tritorc is an impact sockets manufacturer and also makes the tools that the impact sockets are used with, thus the experience of making and using both allows us to optimize the design of both.
3. Ease of Use: Impact sockets provide a secure grip on fasteners, making it easier to tighten or loosen them. This helps to reduce the risk of rounding off the fastener head and saves time and effort compared to using regular sockets. The corner clearance design feature makes it so that the Load is distributed on the flank of the sockets as opposed to the corner of the impact socket.
4. Safety: Impact sockets provide a secure grip on fasteners, reducing the risk of slipping and injury. They also reduce the risk of damaging the fastener, as they are designed to absorb the shock and force of an impact wrench, which can be particularly important in critical applications, such as in the aerospace or automotive industries.
These factors combined make sure that Tritorc can provide the best impact wrench sockets that have a proven industrial track record. This allows us to provide our valued customers with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
