Question 1

What is the SATA GL34201 3/8" Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 6mm used for?

Accepted Answer

It's a 3/8" drive impact socket with a 6-point design intended for high-torque fastening. The off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding, and the large markings help you quickly identify the 6mm size during automotive or industrial tasks.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Key specs include: 3/8" drive size, 6-point (hex) contact, 6mm fastener size, made from chrome molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy steel for high strength, black oxide coating for corrosion resistance, and an impact-rated construction designed for use with impact wrenches.

Question 3

How does the 6-point design benefit me?

Accepted Answer

The 6-point contact provides a snug fit on hex fasteners, reduces slippage, minimizes rounding, and improves torque transfer—especially under high-torque or impact conditions.

Question 4

What applications is this socket suitable for?

Accepted Answer

It's versatile for automotive and industrial tasks, including engine work, suspension components, and other high-torque fastener tasks where a compact 6mm socket is needed in tight spaces.

Question 5

How do I use this socket with an impact wrench?

Accepted Answer

Attach the socket to a compatible 3/8" drive impact wrench, ensure the fastener aligns with the 6-point contact, and apply steady, controlled impact motion. Avoid using the socket beyond its rated torque to minimize wear.

Question 6

How can I quickly identify the size on the socket?

Accepted Answer

This socket features large markings on the surface to clearly indicate the size, making it easy to identify 6mm at a glance, even in dim or cluttered work environments.

Question 7

How does this socket compare to other 3/8" SATA 6-point sockets on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

For close alternatives, you can explore other 3/8" SATA 6-point sockets in the same series, such as the 7mm and 8mm variants, which offer similar durability and fitment but accommodate different fastener sizes.

Question 8

What is Cr-Mo alloy steel, and why is it used in this socket?

Accepted Answer

Chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy steel is a high-strength material used to enhance impact resistance, durability, and long-term performance under heavy torque. It helps the socket withstand repeated impacts without deforming.

Question 9

What does the black oxide coating provide?

Accepted Answer

The black oxide coating offers corrosion resistance, helping to prevent rust and wear over time, which helps maintain the tool’s appearance and performance in challenging environments.

Question 10

Is this socket suitable for metric fasteners in demanding jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 6mm size targets metric fasteners, and the 6-point design with impact-rated construction makes it suitable for high-torque automotive and industrial tasks that require reliable torque transfer.

Question 11
