STRONG AND DURABLE -- Bearing cups are cold-formed, case-hardened and precision ground for strength and durability

KEEPS DIRT OUT -- Abrasion-resistant nitrile seals provide ideal grease retention and protection from under-vehicle contaminants

GREASEABLE DESIGN -- Drilled and tapped grease fitting holes for easy servicing and cross trunnions with large grease reservoirs with radial grease channels for grease distribution

INHIBITS PREMATURE WEAR -- Cross trunnions ground to a 15-25 RMS finish for a smooth surface free of microscopic grooves that can cause premature wear

Durability: Made from Hardened treated Chrome Vanadium Steel Alloy (Cr-V)

Corrosion-Retardant: Black Phosphate Coating

Locks onto drive tang and socket

Made in Taiwan

DESIGN: This 3-Piece Impact Universal Joint set includes 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2-inch Drive U-Joints and features a Manganese Phosphate coating to resist corrosion and is laser etched for easy identification. Designed for use with all cordless, electric and pneumatic impact wrenches, the spring-loaded detent ball securely latches and the through-hole in the drive end locks securely onto the drive tang.

DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: ARES Impact Universal Joints feature unique spherical ball design that distributes torque loads evenly over a greater surface area, enabling an improved action range of motion for easier access to hard to reach areas and significantly enhanced strength and life over traditional swivel sockets. Made from high-strength, premium Chrome Moly steel, these universal joints meet and exceed ANSI/ASME standards.

MUST HAVE: Traditional universal joints can bind causing the pin to snap or fall out. Don’t get stranded during your break or suspension job with a busted universal socket. These are great for work on your car; no more knuckle cuts from tight spots!

RELIABLE | EFFECTIVE | EFFICIENT: Users trust ARES to be quality tools. You are backed by our Performance Assurance Limited Lifetime Warranty. If you have any issues with your ARES Impact Universal Joint Set, simply contact customer service for troubleshooting help, parts, replacement, or refund.
