FAQs
What is the primary advantage of a 6-point socket?
A 6-point socket provides a stronger grip on the fastener head, reducing the risk of rounding the corners compared to a 12-point socket, especially under high torque.
What does 'deep socket' mean?
A deep socket has a longer, hollow shaft than a standard socket, allowing it to reach fasteners that are recessed or have long threaded studs.
Is this socket suitable for imperial (SAE) fasteners?
No, this socket is specifically designed for metric fasteners and is 15mm in size, not compatible with imperial measurements.
What tools are needed to use this socket?
You will need a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench to use this socket.
What is the material of the socket?
While specific material is not detailed, Teng Tools are generally known for their use of high-quality steel for durability and performance.
Can this socket be used with an impact wrench?
This socket is designed for hand tools. While it may withstand light impact use, it is not specifically rated as an impact socket and heavy impact use could lead to damage or failure.
Troubleshooting
Socket slips on fastener.
Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and that the fastener head is not excessively rounded. Check if the correct socket size is being used.
Socket does not fit drive tool.
Verify that you are using a 1/2 inch drive tool. Ensure the drive tool's square drive is clean and free of debris.
Difficulty reaching fastener.
Use a compatible 1/2 inch drive extension bar to increase reach. Ensure adequate clearance around the work area.
