About

Lanj Socket Inserts were invented to meet the demand of field mechanics for lighter and less costly impact socket tools. With a few impact sockets as ‘host drivers’, and a variety of Socket Inserts, mechanics now have a lighter and versatile tool set option that can complement heavier and more expensive conventional impact socket sets for most situations. Socket Inserts will save you weight, space, and money!  Tough tools for a tough environment at a fraction of the price of conventional impact sockets!  Machined from solid round bar stock on state-of-the-art CNC machinery, NOT cast!  Lanj inserts are extremely tough and durable therefore.

A prime advantage of the Lanj Socket Insert is weight reduction. Inserts are much lighter than conventional sockets,but are durable, tough, and efficient. Lanj Inserts take up less space, while at the same time have the unique ability to accommodate both SAE and Metric formats on the same insert ( SAE on the id and Metric on the od…or vice versa!) while being interchangeable with 6 and 12 point sockets! Changing drive format has almost zero effect configurationally upon Lanj Inserts, whether the format is 3/4″, 1″, 1-1/2″, 2-1/2″, 3-1/2″, Metric or spline drive, deep or shallow: this is a substantial cost saving!  That is, the same Lanj Insert that fits into a 3″ impact socket, 1″ drive, will fit into a 3″ impact socket that is  1-1/2″ drive format etc.. Inserts work very well with open and combination end wrenches, Lanj Inserts also fit into expensive hydraulic torque wrench cassettes easily. Truly a game changing tool!

MINExpo Sept. 24-26, 2012 Las Vegas:  THE PATENTED LANJ 6pt. DOUBLE BOX HEX END WRENCH  made its first appearance…. Lanj Inserts transform a large industrial wrench into a veritable multitool!  Also shown at MINExpo:  the Lanj Impact Socket with Socket Insert retention provision;  AND as requested  Stainless Steel LANJ Socket Inserts were displayed also for the first time! 

Made in the USA with domestic produced alloys in ISO9001:2000/AS9100 facilities.
