Metric Deep impact socket question?

Just found out that the socket set that I have is metric, is there any chance that this would fit in my impact tool 285B-6?

Update:

The impact wrench is an IR Impact tool 285B-6

and the socket set is SAE S68M36L IR 8-pc deep impact socket set.

Update 2:

Im using it for Tire removal (1in drive).

Update 3:

the sockets are 1in drive.

will i still be able to use these metric sockets?

    I dont see why not, since the sockets fit onto metric bolts or nuts.

    The drive should be a standard size, someone mentioned them all, but I think they are like 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and 1 inch although I am not positive on that since I have only used 1/4 and 1/2 ones.

    metric refers to the fastener side opening. The sockets themselves will be either 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1 on the tool side which is what your impact wrench will take.

  • what application are you using it on, if the sockets will not work the nuts or bolts could be standard.
