Crescent CIMBS11 Impact Hex Bit Socket Set 7 Pc 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The CRESCENT CIMBS11 is a 7-piece impact hex bit socket set built for 1/2 inch drive tools. Each socket is machined from steel with a black oxide finish that resists corrosion and reduces glare during use. The set covers hex sizes from 3/8 inch through 3/4 inch, making it a practical choice for fastener work across HVAC equipment, mechanical rooms, and industrial installations. At 2.5 inches in overall length and weighing 2.36 pounds as a set, these sockets are rated for impact use and conform to ASME B18.3-2003. Technicians working with hex-head fasteners on equipment panels, compressors, and structural hardware will find the full size range covers the majority of common applications.

This socket set is suited for trade professionals including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors who regularly encounter hex-head fasteners in equipment installation and service work. The impact-rated design handles the torque output of 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets without deforming the socket body. The seven included sizes are 3/8 inch, 7/16 inch, 1/2 inch, 9/16 inch, 5/8 inch, 11/16 inch, and 3/4 inch, covering a broad range of hex fastener sizes found on commercial and residential mechanical equipment.

Installation Notes

This set is installed and used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working with hex-head fasteners on equipment and structural components. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. When using with an impact wrench, verify the tool drive rating matches the socket impact rating before operation. Inspect sockets for cracks or deformation before each use and remove any damaged socket from service immediately.
