Question 1

What is the SATA GL13321 34mm 1/2" drive 6-point socket used for?

Accepted Answer

The SATA GL13321 is a 34mm, 1/2-inch drive, 6-point socket designed to engage large fasteners with a precise fit. It features an off-corner loading design to reduce rounding, clear size markings, and dual SAE/metric indicators for quick size identification.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: 34mm size, 1/2" drive compatibility, 6-point design, made from high-strength chrome vanadium steel, chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance, and precision-machined internal surfaces for a snug fit on 34mm fasteners.

Question 3

What does the 6-point design buy me in terms of handling fasteners?

Accepted Answer

A 6-point socket provides better contact on the flats of a large fastener, improving torque transfer and reducing the likelihood of rounding off corners compared to 12-point designs on the same fastener size.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Off-corner loading shifts contact away from the sharp edges of the fastener, helping to prevent rounding and providing a more secure grip when applying torque on large fasteners.

Question 5

How can I quickly identify the size on this socket?

Accepted Answer

This socket features large markings for easy size identification and includes both SAE and metric indicators. The knurled line helps you distinguish standard vs. metric sizing at a glance.

Question 6

What material is this socket made from, and how does the finish help?

Accepted Answer

It’s crafted from high-strength chrome vanadium steel and finished with chrome plating, which offers strong durability and excellent resistance to corrosion and rust.

Question 7

How should I use this socket with tools I already own?

Accepted Answer

Attach it to a 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench that accepts 1/2" drive sockets. Ensure the 34mm fastener fits snugly, apply steady torque, and avoid using excessive impact forces unless the tool is rated for impact use.

Question 8

Are there safety tips I should follow when using a 34mm, 1/2" drive socket like this?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Always align the socket squarely on the fastener, use appropriate PPE, avoid side loading, don’t exceed tool torque ratings, and keep the work area clean to prevent slips or drops.

Question 9

What are common applications for this socket?

Accepted Answer

This socket is well-suited for large automotive fasteners, heavy equipment maintenance, and industrial machinery where 34mm fasteners require a robust, precise 1/2" drive socket.

Question 10

How does GL13321 compare to other 34mm, 1/2" drive 6-point sockets on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

GL13321 emphasizes off-corner loading and dual SAE/metric markings with a chrome vanadium construction.

Question 12

Will this socket fit on standard 1/2" drive tools I already own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This socket is designed for standard 1/2" drives and should work with common 1/2" drive ratchets and torque wrenches that accept 6-point sockets.

Question 13

Can this socket be used with impact tools or impact drivers?

Accepted Answer

This socket is designed for high-strength performance, but unless specifically rated for impact use, it’s best to use it with a ratchet or torque wrench and avoid unapproved impact driving to prevent undue wear or damage.

Question 14
