This socket is primarily designed for high-torque automotive applications such as removing and installing hub nuts, axle nuts, and other large fasteners found on vehicle suspension and drivetrain components.
It is suitable for a wide range of vehicles including Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Renault, Skoda, Seat, Toyota, Vauxhall, and VW, provided they use a 35mm fastener for the application.
Yes, it is compatible with any standard 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or impact gun.
This refers to the shape of the socket opening. A bi-hex design has 12 points of contact instead of the standard 6, offering a more secure grip on the fastener, especially useful when high torque is applied.

The inner depth of this socket is 60mm, allowing it to fit over longer studs or recessed nuts.
Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Store in a dry place to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Verify the nut size. This socket is specifically 35mm. Ensure you are not attempting to use it on a different size fastener.
Ensure the socket is fully seated on the nut and that your driving tool (ratchet/impact wrench) is securely engaged with the socket. Check for excessive wear on the nut itself.
Inspect for cracks or deformation. If damage is present, discontinue use and replace the socket. This may indicate overuse with excessive force or a manufacturing defect.
Setup: No specific setup is required. Simply attach the socket to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or impact wrench. Ensure the tool is securely locked onto the socket drive.
Compatibility: This socket is designed for 35mm metric hub nuts and axles. Always verify the fastener size on your specific vehicle before use. It is compatible with all 1/2" drive tools from any brand.
Care: After use, clean the socket with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Store in a dry environment, preferably in a toolbox or socket organizer, to prevent rust and damage. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
