FAQs

Can I use this socket with a manual ratchet?

While it may fit a 1/2in drive ratchet, this socket is specifically designed and hardened for impact tools. Using it with a manual ratchet, especially for high-torque applications, could lead to premature wear or damage to the socket or your ratchet.

What is the difference between impact sockets and standard sockets?

Impact sockets are made from softer, more ductile chrome molybdenum steel to absorb shock and resist cracking under high torque and impact. Standard sockets are typically made from harder chrome vanadium steel, which is more brittle and can shatter under impact.

How do I clean and maintain my Teng impact socket?

Clean with a dry cloth after use. For stubborn dirt, use a degreaser and brush, then dry thoroughly. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

What does '6-point' refer to?

The '6-point' refers to the six internal corners of the socket that grip the fastener. This design provides a more secure grip and is less likely to slip or round off the fastener head compared to a 12-point socket, especially under high torque.

Is this socket suitable for corroded bolts?

The 6-point design offers a strong grip, which can be beneficial for corroded bolts. However, always use penetrating oil and ensure the socket is fully seated to maximize grip and minimize the risk of damaging the bolt head.

What is the material of this socket?

The socket is manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel, which is known for its strength, toughness, and resistance to impact.

Troubleshooting

Socket doesn't fit the fastener tightly.

Verify you are using the correct 32mm socket for a 32mm fastener. Ensure both the socket and fastener are clean and free from debris or damage.

Socket shows signs of cracking or excessive wear.

Cease use immediately. This socket is designed for impact use; if it's showing signs of damage with standard use, it may be compromised. Inspect your impact tool for excessive torque settings or potential issues.

Difficulty removing or tightening a fastener.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Check that your impact tool has sufficient power and is functioning correctly. Use a breaker bar for extra leverage if necessary, but be mindful of the socket's intended use with impact tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is an impact socket and requires a compatible 1/2in drive impact wrench or impact driver. Ensure the socket is securely attached to the drive anvil of your tool.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard 1/2in drive impact tools. It is designed for use with 32mm hexagonal fasteners. Always ensure the socket size matches the fastener size to prevent damage.

Care: Clean the socket after each use with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris. For tougher grime, use a degreaser and a brush, then wipe dry. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Periodically inspect for signs of wear or damage.
