12-Piece 1/2" Drive CR-MO Short Impact Socket Set
Maximise your reach and versatility with the SOLID-X 12-Piece 1/2" Short Impact Socket Set. This comprehensive kit features 10 metric Cr-Mo sockets (10mm-24mm), a 75mm Extension Bar, and a Drive Adaptor. Whether using a heavy impact gun or a cordless driver, this set has the reach and compatibility you need.
Product Details
When space is at a premium, deep sockets simply won't fit. The SOLID-X 12-Piece 1/2" Short Impact Socket Set is the essential solution for restricted environments. Whether you are working on tight suspension struts, brake calipers, or cramped engine bays, the shallow profile allows you to fit your impact gun into spaces other tools can't reach.
Don't compromise on strength. Forged from genuine Chrome Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel, these sockets are heat-treated to withstand the extreme vibration and torque of modern air and cordless impact wrenches. Unlike standard chrome vanadium (which can shatter under impact), Cr-Mo offers the durability required for daily professional use.
This set covers the most vital sizes for automotive work, including the critical 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, and 24mm sizes required for wheel nuts and heavy suspension bolts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Both the sockets and the extension bar are forged from Chrome Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel. This material is heat-treated to absorb the high torque and vibration of pneumatic (air) impact wrenches without shattering, unlike standard chrome vanadium tools.
The included 75mm (3-inch) Cr-Mo Extension Bar provides just enough extra reach to access recessed bolts without losing torque. It is perfect for when a bolt is slightly hidden behind a bracket or bumper, but you don't need a long extension that might wobble.
Cr-Mo (Chrome Molybdenum) is tougher and more pliable than Cr-V (Chrome Vanadium). While Cr-V is hard and great for hand tools, it is brittle and prone to shattering under impact. Cr-Mo is the industry standard for impact tools because it offers the flexibility needed to withstand high torque without cracking.
Short (or shallow) sockets are essential for restricted areas where a deep socket is physically too long to fit, such as tight engine bays, brake caliper brackets, or suspension components near the wheel arch. They allow your impact gun to fit into spaces deep sockets cannot.
