6-point impact sockets designed for use with a 3/4 in drive. Made from heat-treated CR-440 steel with a black oxide finish. The socket profile (DirectTorque) is intended to reduce fastener rounding and improve grip. Sizes are laser-etched for identification. Sockets are compatible with O‑ring and retaining pin mounting methods.
Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Heavy-Fastener Service
Offer on‑site removal and installation of large fasteners for fleets, agricultural equipment, construction, and marine. Equip techs with 3/4" drive impact tools and tethered sockets (O‑ring/pin). Market the DirectTorque profile as reducing rounding risk, and upsell replacement hardware and anti‑seize.
Jobsite Socket Kit Rentals
Rent curated 3/4" drive impact socket kits to contractors during peak phases (steel erection, solar arrays, utility work). Include lanyards, O‑rings, retaining pins, and inventory tracking with laser‑etched IDs. Offer weekly rates and optional damage waiver/replacement plan.
Fleet Torque & Fastener Audits
Provide scheduled torque verification and fastener health checks for trucking and equipment fleets. Use the 6‑point sockets to minimize rounding during checks, document results, and sell corrective services (re-torque, stud replacement) plus compliance reports for safety audits.
Tower/Wind Turbine Bolting Crew
Specialize in high‑altitude bolting where tool retention is mandatory. Leverage O‑ring/retaining pin compatibility to tether sockets, reducing dropped‑object risk. Bundle services: initial assembly, periodic re‑torque, and corrosion control for anchor and flange bolts.
Hands-On Training + Tool Sales
Run workshops for shops and vocational programs on proper impact socket selection, avoiding fastener rounding, safe retention, and maintenance. Monetize via course fees and selling marked, bundled 3/4" drive socket sets with documentation and warranty registration.
Creative
Industrial Coat/Key Rack
Mount a reclaimed hardwood board to the wall and use several impact sockets as pegs. The black oxide finish gives an industrial aesthetic, and the 6‑point openings can be used to capture screw heads for secure mounting from the front. Add a retaining pin through the socket’s O‑ring/pin hole for a lanyard hook or keyring loop.
Socket Wind Chime/Mobile
Create a kinetic sculpture by suspending assorted socket sizes with stainless wire or small chains through the retaining pin holes. Different sizes produce varied tones when they strike. The black oxide survives weather well; apply clear coat if desired. Hang in a shop doorway for a rugged, mechanical look.
Magnetic Desk Caddy
Inlay rare‑earth magnets into a wooden base and stand sockets upright to hold bits, driver extensions, drill screws, and small fasteners. The 6‑point profile keeps hex bits from rolling, and the laser‑etched markings stay visible so you can grab specific sizes quickly.
Custom Chess/Checkers Set
Use various socket sizes as chess pieces on a steel or hardwood board. Black oxide sockets form one side; lightly polish or paint another set for contrast. Laser‑etched sizes double as piece identifiers. Add felt to the bases for smooth movement.
Shop Press/Bushing Driver Kit
Assemble a dedicated set of impact sockets to use as sleeves and drivers in a shop press for pressing bearings, seals, and bushings. The tough CR‑440 and 6‑point geometry help distribute load evenly and reduce marring when sized correctly.
