SATA ST13104SC 1/2" Drive 6 Point Socket 1/2"

This socket is made from chrome vanadium steel for strength and durability, and features a corrosion-resistant chrome finish.

The SATA ST13104SC is designed for hand tool use and is not recommended for use with impact tools.

The SATA ST13104SC socket is manufactured to meet or exceed ASME and DIN standards for quality and reliability.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
