Description
Overview:
The Sealey AK5500 Impact Universal Joint is a 1/2 inch square drive (12.7 mm) adaptor designed to transmit impact torque at an angle, helping you reach fixings that a straight extension cannot. Built from drop-forged chrome molybdenum steel with a durable black phosphate finish, it offers high strength and corrosion resistance for daily workshop use. A spring-ball socket retainer holds sockets securely, while the drilled head accepts a retaining pin and ring where additional security is required. Suitable for use with 1/2 inch drive impact tools, including pneumatic (air) impact wrenches and many cordless or corded impact drivers, it bridges between the tool and socket to maintain engagement on fasteners in cramped areas. Reliable and compact, it suits professional mechanics, engineers, and maintenance teams.
Key Features:
- 1/2 inch square drive (12.7 mm) universal joint for angled access in tight spaces.
- Drop-forged chrome molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel for high impact strength and durability.
- Black phosphate finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

- Smooth, articulated joint helps keep sockets engaged on fixings at awkward angles.
- Compatible with common 1/2 inch drive air, cordless, and corded impact tools.
- Compact, workshop-ready form factor with reliable performance for daily use.
- Designed for heavy-duty mechanical, automotive, and plant maintenance tasks.
Typical Applications:
Accessing hard-to-reach nuts and bolts on vehicles, plant, and machinery where direct alignment is not possible. Useful around engine bays, suspension components, transmission housings, exhaust systems, frames, guards, and cowlings. Ideal for garages, mobile service vans, agricultural and garden machinery maintenance, and industrial MRO work that requires a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) impact-rated joint.
