Yes. They can be used with hand ratchets, as well.
Socket wrenches are made all over the world.
No. You are not supposed to use a regular socket on an impact wrench. You need a hardened or impact socket.No, you do not use a hardened socket... impact sockets are made with a softer steel, which makes it able to absorb the shock of being hammered on by an impact wrench.
The main difference between pin detent and friction ring mechanisms in impact wrenches is how the socket is attached to the tool. In a pin detent mechanism, a spring-loaded pin secures the socket in place, providing a more secure connection but requiring a tool to remove the socket. In a friction ring mechanism, a ring holds the socket in place through friction, allowing for quick socket changes but potentially leading to looser connections.

The different types of wrenches available for various applications include adjustable wrenches, combination wrenches, socket wrenches, open-end wrenches, box-end wrenches, and torque wrenches. Each type is designed for specific tasks and offers unique features to help with different jobs.
Many of the most popular and trusted brands in power tools manufacture best-selling impact wrenches. Craftsman, DeWalt, Kawasaki, and Hitachi are all reliable brands with high-rated impact wrenches.
Brands of impact wrenches include: Kawasaki, Ingersoll Rand, Chicago Electric, Dewalt. The most famous is Ingersoll Rand, also most used. Known for its small, but powerful electric wrenches.
The tools commonly used to tighten bolts effectively are wrenches, socket wrenches, and torque wrenches. These tools provide the necessary leverage and control to ensure that bolts are tightened to the correct specifications.
Typically, no. Stainless steel is a very weak steel compared to other types. Your cheaper socket wrenches will typically be made out of chrome-vanadium. Higher-end models will use some form of tool steel.
Impact sockets are designed to withstand the high torque generated by impact wrenches, while thin wall sockets are designed for use in tight spaces where clearance is limited. Impact sockets are typically thicker and more durable, while thin wall sockets are thinner to fit into confined areas.
