Product Information

Full details

The Taskar 11mm Bi-Hex Socket is designed for professionals in cladding and roofing who need a secure and efficient fastening solution. Its key benefit is the integrated retaining clip, which significantly reduces fastener drops during overhead work, a common challenge on job sites. While versatile, users should ensure compatibility with their 1/4" drive tools. This 3-pack of 65mm long sockets features a 12-point bi-hex profile for enhanced grip on tech screws with moulded caps.

FAQs

What size fastener is this socket designed for?

This socket is specifically designed for 11mm fasteners, commonly used in cladding and roofing applications.

What type of screws does the bi-hex profile work best with?

The 12-point bi-hex profile is ideal for hex-head screws, especially those with moulded caps often found in roofing and cladding systems, providing a strong grip.

Will this socket fit any drill?

It will fit any standard drill or impact driver that accepts a 1/4" shank, which is a common drive size.

How does the retaining clip work?

The integrated retaining clip is designed to friction-fit onto the head of the fastener, holding it securely onto the socket during use and preventing accidental drops.

What happens if the retaining clip breaks?

If the retaining clip becomes damaged or loses its effectiveness, the socket will still function as a standard bi-hex socket, but you will lose the benefit of the secure fastener retention. It is recommended to replace the socket if the clip is no longer functional.

Can I use this for general construction, not just roofing?

While designed for cladding and roofing, if you encounter 11mm hex-head fasteners in other construction tasks, this socket can certainly be used effectively.

How long is each socket?

Each socket in the pack is 65mm long.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not grip fastener securely

Ensure you are using the correct 11mm socket size for the fastener. Check that the bi-hex profile is not worn or damaged. Verify the fastener head itself is not stripped or deformed.

Retaining clip is not holding the fastener

Check the retaining clip for debris or damage. Ensure the fastener head is fully inserted into the socket's depth to engage the clip properly. If the clip is visibly worn or bent, the socket may need replacement.

Socket feels loose in the drill chuck

Remove the socket and re-insert it, ensuring the 1/4" shank is fully seated in the chuck. Tighten the chuck firmly. If the issue persists, check the drill's chuck for wear or damage.
