FAQs

What material is the Sealey SX017 socket made from?

The socket is made from drop-forged Chrome Molybdenum steel, which is hardened and tempered for strength.

Is this socket suitable for manual tools as well as impact wrenches?

Yes, its malleable steel material makes it suitable for use with both air impact wrenches and hand ratchet wrenches or breaker bars.

What is the length of this socket?

The socket has a length of 90mm.

What does the 'WallDrive®' system mean?

WallDrive® is a system designed to distribute torque to a larger surface area of the fastener's flats, reducing the likelihood of rounding off the bolt head.

How should I clean and maintain the socket?

Clean the socket after each use with a lint-free cloth and store it in a dry place. Mild solvents can be used for grime, and a light oil can help prevent rust on the finish.

Does this socket come with a warranty?

Yes, the Sealey SX017 impact socket comes with a lifetime guarantee.

What is the drive size of this socket?

The drive size is 3/4"" square drive.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit the fastener securely.

Verify that the fastener size is exactly 28mm. Ensure the socket is not damaged or worn. Check that you are using a standard metric socket, not an imperial one.

Socket appears to be rounding the fastener head.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Apply steady, even torque. If using an impact wrench, use short bursts rather than continuous high torque. Clean the socket and fastener for optimal grip.

Socket is difficult to attach or remove from the tool's drive.

Ensure the tool's drive anvil is clean and free from debris. Check that the socket's internal drive square is clear. Confirm you are using a 3/4"" drive tool; an incorrect drive size will cause fitting issues.

Visible signs of rust or corrosion.

This is typically cosmetic due to the chemical blackening and phosphate finish. Clean the socket thoroughly with a light oil or a rust remover. Ensure the socket is stored in a dry place to prevent further oxidation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability for heavy-duty use with impact wrenches.
  • Deep design provides access to hard-to-reach fasteners.
  • Corrosion-resistant finish enhances tool life.
  • WallDrive® system protects fasteners from damage.
  • Suitable for use with both powered and manual tools.

Cons

  • Specific 28mm size may require a larger socket set for comprehensive work.
  • Weight of 0.69kg may be a consideration for extended manual use.
  • Requires a 3/4"" drive tool, limiting compatibility with smaller tool sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Sealey SX017 impact socket is designed for immediate use. Ensure your 3/4"" square drive tool (e.g., impact wrench or ratchet) is in good working order. Simply attach the socket to the drive anvil of your tool. A retaining pin and clip may be necessary depending on your tool's anvil design to secure the socket.

Compatibility: This socket is compatible with any 3/4"" square drive tool. Its 28mm diameter fits fasteners of the corresponding size. While designed for impact wrenches, it can be used with manual 3/4"" drive ratchets and breaker bars.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the socket with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt, grease, and metal debris. A mild solvent can be used for stubborn grime.
  2. Storage: Store the socket in a dry environment, preferably in a socket organizer or tool chest, to prevent corrosion and protect it from damage.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the socket for signs of excessive wear, cracking, or damage. Discontinue use if any compromise to its integrity is observed.
