Impact socket for Mack, Volvo
Snap-on's ½-inch Drive 14mm 6-point Impact Socket for Mack and
Volvo trucks is designed to allow users to more easily remove and
install camshaft cap bolts on trucks with the MP8 series engine. The
tool is engineered with a deeper broach depth to accommodate the
longer threads found on the bolts, helping to increase torque and
prevent the fastener from rounding.
