1. A socket for an impact tool, the socket comprising: a body extending between a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, the body including: an input recess defined in the first longitudinal end, the input recess configured to receive an anvil of the impact tool,an output recess defined in the second longitudinal end, the output recess being configured to receive a head of a fastener,a cylindrical outer surface that defines a first diameter, anda disk positioned between the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end of the body, the disk defining a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter,wherein at least one of the input recess or the output recess is defined by a plurality of inner walls extending inwardly from an outer opening and parallel to a longitudinal axis extending through the body, wherein a cross-section of the plurality of inner walls form a plurality of line segments form a polygon, and wherein the plurality of line segments are characterized as:(i) six primary linearly extending line segments each extending from a first end to an intersection point;(ii) six secondary linearly extending line segments each extending from the intersection point of one of the six primary linearly extending line segments to the first end of an adjacent one of the six primary linearly extending line segments, where each of the six secondary linearly extending line segments is shorter in length than each of the six primary linearly extending line segments; andwherein an obtuse angle is defined at each of the intersection points adjoining one of the six primary linearly extending line segments to one of the six secondary linearly extending line segments. 2. The socket of claim 1, wherein the disk includes (i) at least two ribs extending outwardly from the cylindrical outer surface, and (ii) a ring secured to an outer radial end of each rib. 3. The socket of claim 1, wherein the disk includes: a first surface extending outwardly from the cylindrical outer surface,a second surface positioned opposite the first surface and extending outwardly from the cylindrical outer surface, andan annular outer surface connecting the first surface to the second surface. 4. The socket of claim 1, wherein the body is formed as a single monolithic steel body.
