Description

Ingersoll Rand EA42H – 1/2″ × 2″ DXS® extended anvil (hog ring) is designed to give technicians better access to recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners without sacrificing power or performance. The 2-inch (50 mm) length extension allows improved clearance while maintaining optimal torque transfer through the DXS® Drive Xchange System™.

The hog ring retention mechanism ensures secure socket holding during high-impact work while still enabling fast socket changes. EA42H enables quick, tool-free switching between standard and extended anvils, eliminating the need for performance-reducing adapters.

Key features & benefits

• 1/2″ × 2″ extended reach: improves accessibility to fasteners in recessed, narrow or obstructed areas.
• DXS® Drive Xchange System™ compatible: allows rapid anvil swaps for maximum workflow efficiency.
• Hog ring socket retention: secure, vibration-resistant grip on impact sockets.
• Optimized torque delivery: reduces power loss compared to using traditional extensions or adapters.
• Forged alloy steel construction: built for long service life under heavy-duty impact conditions.
• Part of the DXS® modular system: compatible with all DXS2™ sockets and anvils.

Typical applications

• Automotive repair – brake systems, suspension, wheel fasteners and underbody work.
• Industrial maintenance – machinery, equipment service and MRO environments.
• Fleet and commercial vehicle service – trucks, vans, buses and equipment.
• Recessed or obstructed fasteners that require additional reach.

Notes

The EA42H is supplied as a single extended anvil. DXS® impact wrench and sockets are sold separately. Only compatible with DXS® Drive Xchange System™ tools.
