Thin Wall Deep Impact Socket 18mm — 3/8″ Drive Dual Action
Part No: 1514018 | Barcode: 9341202038783
Professional Dual Action thin wall deep impact socket in 18mm for 3/8″ drive tools. Specifically engineered to deliver impact tool strength with hand tool precision — the thin wall design accesses tight spaces where standard impact sockets cannot fit, while the 12-point profile provides easy fastener engagement from any angle.

Key Features & Benefits
- Dual Action rated — engineered for both impact tools and hand tools, eliminating the need to carry separate socket sets and saving toolkit space.
- Thin wall construction — reduced outer diameter accesses confined spaces and recessed fasteners where standard impact sockets are too bulky to fit.
- 12-point profile — allows fastener engagement at 30° increments instead of 60°, making it easier to position in tight spots and on partially obstructed fasteners.
- Chrome-Molybdenum Alloy Steel — the same high-strength material used in heavy-duty impact sockets, providing superior toughness under repeated hammering loads.
- Drop forged construction — forging aligns the grain structure for maximum strength, unlike cast or machined alternatives.
- Precision heat treated and surface hardened — delivers consistent hardness and long service life across both impact and hand tool use.
- Deep socket design — extended length reaches recessed and countersunk fasteners that standard sockets cannot access, while maintaining thin wall clearance.
- Versatile workshop solution — one socket replaces two, saving time switching between impact and chrome socket sets.
When to Use This Socket
Choose the 1514018 Thin Wall deep socket when you need 18mm fastener access in tight or confined spaces. The Dual Action design means you can start with a hand ratchet for precise positioning, then switch to an impact wrench for final torque — all with the same socket. The deep profile reaches nuts on long bolts, threaded rod, and recessed applications. Ideal for automotive work around brake calipers, suspension components, and engine bays where standard impact sockets are too wide to fit between adjacent components.
Pro Tip: Dual Action sockets are particularly valuable for spark plug access and wheel stud work where thin walls are needed to clear the recess, but impact-rated strength is required for seized or corroded fasteners.
