Question 1

What is the SATA GL13311 1/2" Drive 6 Point Socket 20mm used for?

Accepted Answer

This is a high-torque 6-point socket designed to fit large fasteners (20mm) and be used with a 1/2" drive for automotive, industrial, and heavy-duty maintenance tasks.

Question 2

What does the 6-point design mean and why is it beneficial?

Accepted Answer

The 6-point design provides a secure grip on fasteners, reducing rounding and slipping under high torque, which helps protect fasteners and improve torque transfer.

Question 3

What are the key specifications of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Drive size: 1/2"; Socket size: 20mm; Material: chrome vanadium steel; Coating: corrosion-resistant chrome plating; Design: 6-point with precision-machined fit for tight tolerance; Markings: dual SAE and metric identification.

Question 4

What does the off-corner loading design do?

Accepted Answer

Off-corner loading helps reduce rounding of fasteners by engaging the corners of the hex, improving durability when fasteners are worn or under high torque.

Question 5

What does the double line (SAE) and knurled line (MM) on the socket indicate?

Accepted Answer

The dual markings let you quickly identify SAE (imperial) sizes and metric sizes, making it easier to select the correct socket at a glance.

Question 6

Automotive repair, heavy machinery maintenance, industrial equipment servicing, and other high-torque tasks involving larger fasteners that are 20mm in size.

Question 7

What materials and finishes ensure durability?

Accepted Answer

Made from high-strength chrome vanadium steel with a corrosion-resistant chrome plating, designed to withstand heavy use and resist rust.

Question 8

How should I use this socket for best results?

Accepted Answer

Pair it with a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench, ensure proper alignment with the fastener, and apply steady torque to avoid slippage or rounding. Avoid using with tools not rated for 1/2" drives or with misaligned fasteners.

Question 9

Can this socket be used with an impact driver or impact wrench?

Accepted Answer

This socket is designed for high-torque use; if you plan to use it with an impact tool, verify that the tool and socket are rated for impact use and follow all safety guidelines.
