When using air powered tools it is important to use the correct sockets and accessories such as adaptors,  extension bars and universal joints.  An air impact wrench exerts a different force than a traditional hand held wrench, for example a wheel brace or breaker bar.  An impact wrench uses a repeating hammer action to tighten or undo nuts, bolts and fasteners, as opposed to the steady torque of a hand held tool and because it exerts these impact forces it is necessary to use the correct type of socket.

Impact sockets are specially designed to resist the stresses of impact and to resist the high impact forces exerted by the impact wrench and they are manufactured to provide the best combination of strength and impact resistance. Impact adaptors, universal impact joints, impact universal joint sockets and impact extension bars are also available.

Safety glasses should always be worn when working with impact tools as there could be flying debris such as shards of metal, rust, dirt and grime.
