FAQs

What material is this socket made of?

This Neilsen Impact Socket is constructed from durable Chrome Molybdenum (CRMO) steel, known for its strength and resilience under impact.

What is the drive size of this socket?

The drive size for this socket is 3/4 inch.

What size fastener does this socket fit?

This socket is designed to fit 36mm fasteners.

What does '6-point single hex' design mean?

The 6-point single hex design means the socket has six internal points that grip the sides of a hex (six-sided) bolt head or nut. This offers a more secure fit and reduces the chance of the socket slipping (camming out) compared to a 12-point design, especially under high torque or impact.

Can I use this socket with a regular ratchet, not just an impact wrench?

Yes, this socket is compatible with both manual ratchets and impact wrenches. Its durable construction makes it suitable for various torque applications.

How should I maintain this impact socket?

Clean the socket with a dry cloth after each use and store it in a dry place. Periodically inspect it for any signs of damage or excessive wear.

What are the dimensions of this socket?

The socket has a 3/4-inch drive size, a 36mm opening, and a height of 57mm.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit the fastener securely

Verify that the fastener is indeed 36mm and has a 6-point hex head. Ensure there is no debris or damage to the fastener head or the socket's internal hex.

Socket slips on the fastener during use

Confirm you are using the correct drive size (3/4 inch). Check for excessive wear on the socket's 6-point opening or on the fastener head. Use a more powerful impact wrench if necessary, but avoid over-torquing if using a manual wrench.

Socket appears to be cracking or deforming under load

Immediately cease use. This indicates the socket is being subjected to forces beyond its design limits or has a manufacturing defect. Inspect the tool being used for compatibility and condition. Replace the socket if damaged.

Socket is difficult to attach to or remove from the wrench drive

Ensure the drive anvil on the tool is clean and free of debris. Check the socket's drive opening for any obstructions. Some sockets have a detent ball or pinhole for retention; ensure this is not blocked.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability due to CRMO steel construction.
  • Secure fastener engagement with the 6-point design, minimizing slippage.
  • Suitable for both manual and impact wrenches, offering versatility.
  • Resistant to high torque and impact forces, ideal for tough jobs.
  • Precise fit for 36mm fasteners.

Cons

  • Limited to 6-point fasteners, may not fit 12-point or rounded bolts.
  • Specific 36mm size means it's not a general-purpose socket.
  • Requires a 3/4-inch drive tool, not compatible with smaller drive sizes.
  • Can be heavier than standard sockets due to robust construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This socket requires a compatible 3/4-inch drive manual wrench or impact wrench. Ensure the drive size of your tool matches the socket's drive size for a secure connection. Simply attach the socket to the drive anvil of your wrench.

Compatibility:

  • Drive Size: Compatible with all 3/4-inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and impact wrenches.
  • Fastener Type: Primarily designed for 36mm 6-point hex fasteners. While it may fit other shapes, optimal performance and engagement are with the intended 6-point heads.
  • Material: Suitable for use with both manual and powered tools, including impact wrenches.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, clean the socket with a dry cloth to remove grease, dirt, and debris. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
  • Storage: Store the socket in a dry environment, preferably in a tool chest or socket organizer, to prevent corrosion and keep it readily accessible.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the socket for signs of wear, cracks, or damage, especially around the drive end and the 6-point opening. Discontinue use if any significant damage is observed.
