World innovation by GEDORE: 3-in-1 impact socket bit In the past, using an impact socket bit meant also using a safety ring and a safety pin as safety devices when transferring force. In reality, however, it was often easier to omit or “forget” to attach the loose safety pin and ring, as the process was tedious and complex (if they had not been lost). However, it is particularly important to use operating tools properly and safely, especially where large forces come into play, in order to prevent injury. The Impact Fix safety device is now integrated in the impact socket, which eliminates the need to assemble three elements (socket, pin and ring). A second pin safety device including ring (that won’t get lost) is already attached to the impact socket – a very safe and simple solution. The pins are automatically pushed into the drill holes of the square drive when the ring is attached. The double ring groove on the insert makes it easy to move the ring. This minimises the ...
