They are designed to grip the side and not the corners of the fastener heads, which prevents round off. Their extended length allows the deep socket to fit over long fasteners and reach into recessed areas easily. It is primarily used for automotive maintenance and general mechanical work. They can withstand higher torques and even though you need a wider work area to use them, they do have a wider application range. Impact socket sets are typically manufactured from chrome vanadium molybdenum steel which makes them well suited for use in heavy industrial applications because of their strength and durability.
