  • Frequently Asked Questions
    What is a 2-in-1 lineman impact socket?
    A 2-in-1 lineman impact socket combines two common fastener sizes into a single socket, allowing users to carry fewer tools and reduce socket changes when working on utility hardware and pole line applications.
    What is the advantage of a 12-point impact socket?
    A 12-point design provides more engagement positions than a traditional 6-point socket, making it easier to align the socket with fasteners and improving access in utility applications.
    Why is the socket spring loaded?
    The design incorporates two common hex sizes in the same end, reducing the need to change over tools. Because it is spring loaded, the inner socket automatically moves when engaging on the larger size.
    What applications are these sockets designed for?
    They are designed for linemen and utility professionals performing pole hardware installation, maintenance, repair, and other power transmission and distribution tasks.
    How does a dual-size socket improve jobsite productivity?
    Dual-size sockets allow users to move between common hardware sizes more efficiently, reducing downtime associated with locating and changing sockets.
