TULEX SPECIAL IMPACT APPLICATION SOCKETS & ACCESSORIES :

Tulex offers a range of special sockets. We may have what you need as a non catalogue item or our experienced staff of tooling experts can design and produce application specific fastener tools to suit your exact needs. 
Given below are some illustrations of special sockets.

Thin Walled Impact Sockets :
Tulex Thin Walled Impact Sockets are used at places of inaccessibility where there are restrictions due to the diameter at the nose end of the socket. In this case the diameter of the nose end is reduced. 12 point Thin Walled Sockets are available on request. Thin Walled Impact Sockets are manufactured in 3/8″ (10 mm), 1/2″ (12.5 mm), 3/4″ (20 mm) and 1″ (25 mm) square drives. Thin walled deep hexagon sockets are also available on request.

Tulex Surface Drive Sockets are designed for use on single or multiple spindle power tools (Non Impact Type). Specially relieved corners at the hex opening provides a floating action thus permitting the socket to engage the nut on the surface of the flat hex rather than on the corners. The large openings on six corners of the opening create a floating action that allows the socket to slip quickly and easily on to the nut or bolt. These are ideal for compensating for imperfect alignment between the tool and the fastener. These are generally recommended for impact usage. This type of a free
corner profile distributes the surface loads and relieves the possible stress areas. The torque transmitting capability is increased and the high stress concentrating points are completely eliminated increasing the impact resistance of the fastener.

Surface Drive Impact Sockets :

Flank Drive Impact Hex Sockets (6 Flank points) :

Tulex Flank Drive Socket can also be called a fast lead socket. These are basically designed for use with power tools and multiple spindle power tools. A slight recess is provided on the 6 corner points of the hex, which provides a speedy complete engagement with the nut almost instantly. This speeds productivity and extends tool life. Engagement is possible without starting and stopping the tool for each nut.

Fixed Magnetic Sockets and Spring Loaded Magnetic Power Sockets :

Tulex Magnetic Sockets holds the fastener in the driving position even when working straight down. Time wasting motions are eliminated when working in hard to reach areas.
Magnetic Spring Loaded Sockets also known as Bolt Clearance Sockets allows the bolt or stud to retract into the socket body due to the spring loaded or hollow cylinder magnet as the nut is run down.

 # 5, Spline Drive Impact Sockets :
These sockets are available from 19 mm across flat to 80 mm across flat and 3/4″ across flat to 4″ across flat and 21 mm across flat to 52 mm across flat and 3/4″ across flat to 2. 11/16″. The outside diameter at the socket end consists of a hex across flat portion and the outside diameter on the drives end consists of splines. These are available in standard and deep lengths

1/4″(6.35 mm) Male Hex Shank Extension Bars :
This type of Special Extension Bar has on one end Male Square and on the other end male ¼” Hex Shank. These are available in 1/4″ and 3/8″ Square Drives with overall lengths ranging from 50 mm to 150mm. It is provided with a locking arrangement on the male square drive.
