Question 1

What drive size is this socket, and is it compatible with standard tools?

Accepted Answer

This socket uses a 1/2" drive and is designed to work with standard 1/2" drive ratchets, extensions, and torque tools for seamless compatibility.

Question 2

What should I check if a fastener rounds or the socket slips during use?

Accepted Answer

First, ensure you’re using the correct 1/2" drive socket size for the fastener. If the fastener is damaged or heavily worn, consider a fresh fastener or a different socket size. Avoid using excessive torque with tools not rated for the job, and inspect the socket for wear or deformation.

Question 3

Is this socket suitable for professional use or only DIY tasks?

Accepted Answer

Given its high-strength chrome vanadium construction, corrosion-resistant chrome finish, and precise machining, this socket is designed for professional use and demanding tasks as well as DIY projects.

Question 5

How does a 6-point socket compare to a 12-point socket?

Accepted Answer

A 6-point socket generally offers a stronger, more secure grip on fasteners and reduces rounding, while a 12-point socket provides more angle tolerance for accessing fasteners in tight spaces. Choose based on the fastener condition and space available.

Question 6

How should I use and care for this socket to maximize life?

Accepted Answer

Pair it with a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar, apply steady torque, and avoid using impact tools unless specifically rated. Keep the socket clean and dry, wipe off any moisture, and store it in a toolbox to prevent corrosion.

Question 7

What are some good use cases for this socket?

Accepted Answer

It's well-suited for automotive work (engine bay, suspension, fastener assemblies), construction projects, and routine maintenance tasks that involve larger fasteners and higher torque requirements.

Question 8

What is off-corner loading and why is it beneficial?

Accepted Answer

Off-corner loading shifts contact away from the sharp corners of the fastener. This reduces rounding and wear on both the fastener and the socket, improving longevity and grip reliability under torque.

Question 9

How can I tell if the socket is SAE or metric at a glance?

Accepted Answer

The socket features dual markings to help you identify size systems: SAE (double-line marking) and metric (knurled line MM). Large size markings are printed for easy identification.

Question 10

What is the drive size and point configuration of the SATA ST13104SC socket?

Accepted Answer

The SATA ST13104SC is a 1/2" drive socket with a 6-point configuration, providing a strong grip on fasteners and reducing the risk of rounding.

Question 11

What materials and finish are used for this socket?

Accepted Answer

The socket is crafted from high-strength chrome vanadium steel and finished with a chrome-plated coating for corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

Question 12

What does the 6-point design mean for performance?

Accepted Answer

A 6-point socket engages the flats of a fastener more completely, reducing the chance of slipping or rounding corners. It offers better torque transfer on stubborn or worn fasteners compared with some other socket types.

Question 13

What is the SATA 1/2" Drive 6 Point Socket best used for?

Accepted Answer

This 1/2" drive 6-point socket is designed for heavy-duty fasteners in automotive, construction, and general maintenance. The 6-point design delivers a secure grip and efficient torque transfer, making it ideal for high-torque applications.

Question 14

Is the SATA ST13104SC socket easy to clean?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the full polish chrome finish makes the socket easy to wipe clean after use.

Question 15

Can the SATA ST13104SC be used with both metric and SAE fasteners?

Accepted Answer

The SATA ST13104SC is a 1/2" SAE socket and is specifically designed for 1/2" fasteners.
