Compared to a regular impact socket the 6279 has a thinner wall - the body of the socket appears to have just been machined a few millimeters on the lower part of the skirt, as can be seen in the photos. This makes it a perfect size to fit Fiat and Alfa Romeo hub nuts, which are recessed inside the hub with no room for a normal impact socket (and it's practically impossible to find a non-impact socket this size). The socket fits the nut well (no rounding on even a slightly corroded hub nut). It also looks strong enough to be used in an impact gun but I used it "analogue" - i.e. a 3-foot extension bar - and it worked flawlessly. Great value... so not worth faffing around grinding down normal "fat" sockets etc. Much easier to buy one of these.

Bought to work on Fiat Doblo..will fit other models..unable to get a normal sized 36mm socket to fit as you need this “thin wall socket”......you will need this for Ford KA, Fiat 500 etc......good quality item from Laser tools......highly recommended!

This socket is a “must have” when removing axle nut on your Fiat 500 Abarth. Thin wall fits perfectly. Strong and well made.
