This socket is specifically designed for 26mm nuts.
Yes, this socket is impact-ready and can be used with high-torque impact guns.
The drive size is 1/2in, making it compatible with various tools.
The socket is manufactured from CR-MO (Chromium-Molybdenum steel).
Place the socket over the nut, ensuring a firm grip. Apply force using a ratchet or impact gun in the correct direction (reverse, left-handed thread) to remove the nut.
The socket works best on nuts softer than the socket material. If the nut is too hard, this tool might not work effectively. Consider other methods or tools.
Store the socket in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.
Yes, this socket is designed to grip and remove rounded or damaged bolts.
Ensure the socket is the correct size (26mm). Clean the nut and socket to remove any debris. Apply more force to allow the socket to bite into the nut. If the nut is extremely hard, the socket may not work effectively.
Make sure the socket is fully seated on the nut. Use an impact gun or power bar to provide more consistent torque. Check if the nut is severely damaged, as this can affect grip.
Reduce the applied torque. Ensure you are using the correct size socket. Inspect the nut to ensure it is not excessively hard. Consider using a higher-torque tool.
