Ingersoll Rand, a global brand of power tools, has introduced the PowerSocket® to save users time and energy loosening bolts – no matter how stubborn and rusted.
Similar to a standard impact socket, the PowerSocket® fits directly on the square drive of a half inch impact tool. Once fastened to the tool, Ingersoll Rand says its PowerSocket can provide up to 50% more torque than standard impact sockets. The unique power ring design amplifies the tool’s power output. The PowerSocket is also lightweight and compact to fit in tight spaces, making it ideal for applications that usually require a larger impact tool or a breaker bar.
The PowerSocket is available in five different sizes from 17mm – 27mm to meet the standard bolt and lug nut variations from a variety of car and tyre manufacturers. The sockets are specifically optimised for use with Ingersoll Rand half inch Impactools™, and are also compatible with inch impact tools from other manufacturers.
