General view of the broken socket. The failure occurred during service, when the tool was tightening 3 3/4" bolts at 75% of the torque capacity. The fracture occurred associated to the smaller section of the socket, thickness of 13 mm, at the corner of the radio, that is a stress concentration raiser.
