FAQs

What specific vehicles is this socket designed for?

This socket is designed for specific applications on Honda Civic and Acura RSX models produced from 2001 onwards. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's service manual.

What does '10-point' mean for this socket?

A 10-point socket has ten internal lobes that grip the fastener. This design is often used for specific types of fasteners that might not be compatible with standard 6-point or 12-point sockets.

Can I use this socket with a standard ratchet?

Yes, this socket features a 1/2" drive, making it compatible with any standard 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or impact wrench.

Is this socket suitable for all 10-point fasteners?

While it is a 10-point socket, it is specifically engineered for certain Honda and Acura applications. Compatibility with other 10-point fasteners may vary depending on the exact fastener design and tolerances.

What is the advantage of the 162mm length?

The extended 162mm length provides greater reach, allowing you to access fasteners that are recessed or located in tight engine bay or undercarriage areas where shorter sockets cannot reach.

How durable is this socket for heavy-duty use?

The socket is manufactured to 'impact quality standards,' meaning it is built with durable materials and robust construction to withstand the torque and vibration associated with impact tools during professional use.

What is the correct way to clean and maintain this socket?

After use, wipe the socket clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust and ensure its longevity. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit the fastener

Verify the fastener size and type on your vehicle. Ensure you are using the correct 20mm 10-point socket for compatible Honda/Acura models from 2001 onwards. This socket is specialized and may not fit standard 6-point or other 10-point fasteners.

Socket seems loose on the fastener

Confirm you are using the correct 10-point socket for the specific application. Ensure the fastener is clean and free of debris. If the socket is consistently loose, it may indicate wear on the socket or fastener, or an incorrect tool selection for the specific bolt head.

Socket shows signs of wear or damage after impact use

While designed for impact use, excessive force or prolonged abuse can still cause wear. Inspect the socket for any signs of cracking or significant deformation. If damaged, replace the socket to ensure safety and prevent further damage to fasteners.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Specific application limits use to compatible Honda/Acura models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Primarily designed for specific fasteners on Honda Civic and Acura RSX models from 2001 onwards. Always confirm the fastener size and type on your specific vehicle before use. It is not intended for universal application.
