Question 1

What exactly is the SATA GL59476 5-Piece 5/16" Drive 30L Hex 12 x 30 mm set?

Accepted Answer

This is a five-piece hex socket set designed for a 5/16" drive. Each socket measures 12 mm across the hex and 30 mm in length (30L). The set is built for durability with chrome vanadium steel and a chrome-plated finish, and the set is display-packed for easy organization.

Question 2

What does the 5/16" drive mean for compatibility with my tools?

Accepted Answer

The 5/16" drive indicates that the sockets are designed to fit standard ratchets, extensions, and adapters that accept a 5/16" drive. Pair these sockets with a compatible 5/16" drive ratchet for proper engagement and torque transfer.

Question 3

What do 12 x 30 mm and 30L refer to in these hex sockets?

Accepted Answer

The 12 x 30 mm specification indicates the hex size (12 mm) and the overall length of the socket (30 mm). The 30L designation emphasizes the longer 30 mm length, which can help with reach in recessed fasteners.

Question 4

What materials and finishing are used in these sockets?

Accepted Answer

The sockets are crafted from chrome vanadium steel for strength and durability, with a chrome-plated finish to resist rust and corrosion and make maintenance easier.

Question 5

What about durability and torque transfer for this set?

Accepted Answer

These sockets are heat-treated for long-lasting durability, and the 30L length helps improve torque transfer, enabling you to apply more force with less effort in the right situations.

Question 6

What applications are these sockets best suited for?

Accepted Answer

They’re suitable for automotive, industrial, and general repair tasks where 12 mm hex fasteners need to be driven with a 5/16" drive. The durable chrome-plated finish helps when working in environments prone to moisture or corrosion.

Question 7

How should I install and care for these sockets?

Accepted Answer

Attach the socket to a compatible 5/16" drive ratchet or extension, ensure the hex fits securely to prevent slipping, and apply steady, controlled torque. After use, wipe off any oil or debris and store in the organized display to prevent loss.

Question 8

Are there safety considerations I should keep in mind?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the correct size to avoid rounding fasteners, avoid excessive torque, wear eye protection when working under conditions with debris, and inspect sockets for wear or cracks before use.
