tools because they may shatter and cause
injury. Always wear eye protection when

the speed handle for fast operation. Flexible ratchet
heads in varying length allow the socket to be
turned with varying force and at odd angles.
Extension bars allow the socket setup to reach
difficult areas. The ratchet is the most versatile. It
allows the user to install or remove the nut without
removing the socket.
Sockets combined with any number of drivers
make them undoubtedly the fastest. Safest and
most convenient tool for fastener removal and
installation.
1.8.5 Impact Drivers
An impact driver provides extra force for
removing fasteners by converting the impact of a
hammer into a turning motion. This makes it
possible to remove stubborn fasteners without
damaging them. Impact drivers and interchangeable
bits (Figure 10) are available from most tool
suppliers. When using a socket with an impact
driver. Make sure the socket is designed for impact
use. Refer to Socket Wrenches. Ratchets and
handles in this section.
