Klein Tools 66040 5-Piece 2-in-1 Coaxial Spring-Loaded 12-Point Impact Socket Set
The Klein Tools 66040 5-Piece 2-in-1 Impact Socket Set delivers eight primary SAE sizes across four coaxial, spring-loaded socket bodies and a 1/4 inch hex to 1/2 inch square drive adapter for fast hardware installation. Forged from high-strength 4140 alloy steel, this 2.3 lb kit complies with ASME B107.2 impact standards and features a 12-point socket geometry that eases alignment onto hex and square fasteners. Designed for electrical utility contractors, commercial electricians, and structural ironworkers, the hands-free spring-loaded socket mechanism lets operators press inner socket sleeves directly over fasteners to instantly switch drive dimensions across eight core sizes ranging from 3/8 inch to 7/8 inch without removing sockets from power tool anvils.
Best Used For:
- Overhead Utility & Trapeze Bolting: Running strut channel nuts, threaded rod hardware, and utility pole fasteners without stopping to detach or manually flip socket drive bodies.
- Square & Hex Fastener Installation: Rapidly engaging both 6-point hex bolts and 4-point square hardware using precision-machined 12-point socket profiles.
- Impact Wrench & Driver Adaptation: Connecting directly to 1/2 inch square drive impact wrenches (such as the Klein BAT20CW1) or converting 1/4 inch power hex impact drivers via the included adapter.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Hands-Free Coaxial Spring-Loaded Action: Inner spring-loaded socket automatically retracts when pushed against larger hardware, giving instant 2-in-1 size functionality on single drive heads.
- 8 Sizes Consolidated in 4 Sockets: Combines 7/8 x 11/16'', 3/4 x 9/16'', 5/8 x 7/16'', and 1/2 x 3/8'' SAE dimensions into four lightweight socket bodies.
- 12-Point High-Torque Socket Geometry: Provides double the positioning angles of 6-point sockets for easier alignment on both hex and square fastener heads.
- Forged 4140 Alloy Steel Construction: Heat-treated impact-grade metallurgy meets ASME B107.2 specifications to absorb heavy rotational shock loads.
- Cross-Hole Pin Retention System: Engineered cross-hole detent lock prevents unintentional separation between the drive adapter and socket bodies under continuous vibration.
- Color-Coded Visual Identification: Distinctive colored rings permit rapid visual size selection inside dark utility truck bins and jobsite tool bags.

Pro-Tip: When engaging smaller inner hex nuts, push the power impact driver firmly forward. The coaxial outer socket sleeve stays suspended above the work surface while the internal spring-loaded socket seats fully over the fastener head, allowing hands-free size transitions without removing the socket from the anvil.
