Laser Tools’ counter-weighted 1/2in drive sockets

Designed specifically for stubborn and high torque crankshaft pulley fixings, Laser Tools has introduced a set of three counter-weighted 1/2in drive sockets (part number 8953).

These are engineered for removing extremely tight fixings — the added weight aiming to reduce impact loss, allowing more effective torque delivery from impact guns. The high strength and mass make the socket very rigid; less torque from the impact gun is wasted in socket distortion, this torque going straight to the fastener. The three sizes included are 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm (1/2in drive), with a single-hex (6-point) profile. The sockets are made from durable chrome-molybdenum steel for impact resistance and a long service life and are supplied in a sturdy blow-mould case that fits neatly in the toolbox.
