Full details

This Faithfull 11mm Hexagon Socket is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a durable and precise tool for metric fasteners. Its primary benefit is the accurate fit and corrosion resistance provided by its chrome vanadium steel construction. A potential caveat is its specific 11mm size, requiring other sizes to be purchased separately for a complete set.

FAQs

What material is the Faithfull Hexagon Socket made from?

The socket is forged from high-quality chrome vanadium steel, which is then hardened, tempered, and satin chrome plated.

What size drive does this socket require?

This socket features a 3/8 inch drive size, making it compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and accessories.

What type of fasteners is this socket designed for?

It is designed for metric fasteners, specifically 11mm nuts and bolts, due to its hexagon socket design.

How does the hexagon design benefit its use?

The internal hexagon shape provides an accurate and secure fit on the fastener head, reducing the likelihood of slippage and damage to both the socket and the fastener.

What is the purpose of the chamfered end?

The chamfered end allows for easier and quicker alignment and entry onto the nut or bolt head, streamlining the fastening or loosening process.

Is this socket suitable for heavy-duty applications?

Yes, due to its construction from hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel, it is built to withstand demanding tasks and professional use.

How should I clean and maintain this socket?

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store in a dry place. Avoid harsh solvents. Periodically check for wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

Socket slips on fastener

Ensure the socket is the correct size (11mm) and fully seated onto the fastener head. Check for wear on both the socket and the fastener. Use a longer extension for better leverage if needed.

Socket is difficult to attach to drive tool

Verify you are using a 3/8 inch drive tool. Ensure the square drive opening on the socket and the drive extension are free from debris.

Socket appears rusted

Clean the rusted area with a mild abrasive pad or steel wool. Apply a light coat of oil to prevent further rust. If rust is extensive, the socket may need replacement.
