Snap-on Expands 3/4" Flank Drive Heavy Duty Impact Socket Offerings

February 4, 2010

Looking for some new heavy duty sockets to make your job a little easier? Snap-on has expanded the number of heavy duty 3/4” Flank Drive impact sockets it offers by providing almost 50 new sockets that are sure to make those tough jobs much simpler.

“When we talk with service technicians, we always get great feedback.  Heavy duty techs told us they needed a larger variety of impact sockets,” said Scott Amundson, product manager for Snap-on. “With the added number of heavy duty 3/4” Flank Drive impact sockets combined with our existing part numbers, I know Snap-on has the most complete offering of impact sockets anywhere.”   

Snap-on heavy duty 3/4” Flank Drive impact sockets are heat-treated to optimize impact service life with a lower hardness than hand sockets and are able to withstand repeated cycling loads of impact wrenches. Applications include repair of heavy duty trucks and off-road equipment.

“Snap-on uses a proprietary blend of special alloy socket steel that provides long life and superior strength,” continued Amundson. “In addition, our Flank Drive wrenching system delivers up to 20 percent more turning power without slipping or rounding while exceeding ANSI performance standards.”

Customers can learn more about the Snap-on heavy duty 3/4” Flank Drive impact sockets by contacting their participating Snap-on franchisee, visiting www.snapon.com or calling toll free 877-SNAPON-2 (877-762-7662).
