Why do 1/2" drive 10mm impact sockets exist?

What you've never come across a 10mm tightened down by Thor himself?

Seriously though its convenient if your 3/8 10mm is being used on the other side of the bolt.

>>17346774
There are lots more different tools that will have you wondering why they exist until you find you need said tool

>>17346774
What? You have never removed a rusted up bash plate under an old Jap track have you?

I would imagine the head just shearing off in most cases

>>17346774
so shop mechanics can make sure you snap the head clean off when you try and remove it.

you know.... bolts are used in things other than cars...

To strip the fuck out of anything 10mm.

To have a fighting chance before getting the angle grinder

>>17347305
No, cars are the only thing in existance to use 10mm bolts.

>>17346774
A. 10mm impact sockets exist, IE your pic.
B. Max torque for a 12.9 10mm bolt is just under 60ft/lb

Any questions?

I use mine to hammer on to fucked up 10mm bolt heads

Tell that to muh DAWJ RAYUM!!

Seriously though. If it is not TORX on the body it is well undersized hex bolts on the chassis
