What material is the socket made from?
It is made from hardened Chrome Molybdenum steel, known for its strength and durability, especially under impact.
Is this socket suitable for use with an electric impact wrench?

What is the length of the socket?
The total length of the socket is 76mm.
What size hex fastener does this socket fit?
This socket is specifically designed for 3/4" hex fasteners.
How should I clean and maintain the socket?

Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit fastener properly.
Verify the fastener is indeed a 3/4" hex. Ensure no debris is obstructing the fastener head or the socket's interior.
Socket slips on fastener during use.
Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener head. If the fastener head is damaged or worn, the socket may not grip effectively. For impact use, ensure the drive tool is properly engaged with the socket.
Socket shows signs of cracking or excessive wear.
Cease use immediately. The socket may have been overstressed or is worn out. Replace the socket to prevent failure and potential injury.
