Question 1

What is the SATA GL34317 1/2" Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 24mm used for?

Accepted Answer

This is a high-strength 24mm impact socket designed to be used with 1/2" drive impact tools. It securely engages 24mm fasteners and withstands the torque and vibrations of heavy-duty automotive and industrial work.

Question 2

What are the key features of this 24mm 6-point socket?

Accepted Answer

Key features include a 6-point (single hex) drive design for better fastener grip, off-corner loading to reduce rounding, compatibility with 1/2" drive tools, high-strength material for durability, and large markings for easy size identification.

Question 3

What does "off-corner loading" mean, and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Off-corner loading shifts load away from the sharp corners of the fastener. This reduces rounding, spreads torque more evenly, and helps prevent rounding or rounding-related damage during heavy impact use.

Question 4

Why is the 6-point design beneficial for impact applications?

Accepted Answer

The 6-point design provides better contact with the fastener corners, improving grip and reducing the chance of slipping under high torque. This is especially helpful with stubborn or damaged fasteners encountered in automotive and industrial work.

What are the main specifications of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Specifications include: 24mm fastener size, 1/2" drive size, 6-point design, off-corner loading, and construction from high-strength steel suited for impact use.

Question 7

How should I install and use this socket with an impact driver?

Accepted Answer

Attach the socket securely to a compatible 1/2" drive impact tool, ensure the socket is properly seated on the fastener, apply steady torque, and avoid hammering or using the socket as a pry tool. Use the correct size to prevent rounding and wear.

Question 8

What safety precautions should I take when using this socket?

Accepted Answer

Wear eye protection, keep hair and clothing away from moving parts, work with a stable stance, inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and avoid exceeding the tool's recommended torque. Do not strike the socket with a hammer.
