FAQs

What is the socket made of?

The socket is made of chrome vanadium steel.

What is the benefit of the 6-point design?

The 6-point design ensures a secure grip on fasteners, reducing the risk of slippage and rounding off the corners of the fastener.

What is the purpose of the knurled ring?

The knurled ring provides extra grip, especially when handling the socket with oily hands.

What drive size is this socket?

This socket has a 3/8" square drive.

How should I store the socket?

Store the socket in a clean and dry place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.

What is the micro satin finish for?

The micro satin finish provides corrosion protection and gives the socket a professional look.

Troubleshooting

Socket won't fit the fastener.

Double-check that you are using the correct imperial size for the fastener. Refer to the fastener's markings or use a sizing tool.

Socket slips on the fastener.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener. If the fastener is damaged or heavily corroded, consider using a different socket type or applying penetrating oil.

Socket is difficult to remove from the ratchet.

Check the ratchet's release mechanism. Ensure it is functioning correctly. If necessary, apply a small amount of lubricant to the mechanism.
