Tekton SIB14240 Impact Torx Bit Socket 3/8 Drive T40

Product Description

The TEKTON SIB14240 is a T40 impact-rated Torx bit socket designed for 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. Built from steel with a manganese phosphate finish, it resists corrosion and handles the high-torque, high-cycle demands of impact tool use. The bit measures 1.16 inches in length with an overall socket length of 2.22 inches, making it a compact, direct-drive option for fastener work in tight bays or panels. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics reach for this socket when driving or removing T40 Torx fasteners on equipment where a standard hand-tool bit socket would fail under impact load.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive impact drivers and impact wrenches commonly used in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, automotive service, and general mechanical maintenance. The T40 Torx size appears frequently on compressor housings, fan assemblies, control panel covers, and structural fasteners across residential and light commercial equipment. It is sold individually, making it a practical add-on or replacement for a specific missing size in an existing socket set.

Key Features

• Impact-rated construction handles high-torque output from 3/8 inch drive impact tools
• T40 Torx drive profile for secure bit-to-fastener engagement with minimal cam-out
• Manganese phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare
• Steel construction for durability under repeated impact cycling
• Compact 2.22 inch overall length suits confined work areas
• Sold as a single unit for targeted replacement or kit supplementing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and impact drivers requiring a T40 Torx bit socket for driving or removing T40 Torx fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket only when the tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected. Confirm the socket seats fully onto the impact tool anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact bit sockets with hand ratchets or torque wrenches, as impact-rated sockets are not calibrated for accurate hand-torque readings. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and retire it immediately if damage is found.
