Question 1

What is the SATA SC11208 1/4" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket used for?

Accepted Answer

It's a 7/16" SAE deep socket designed to fit on a 1/4" drive ratchet for turning fasteners in tight spaces, making automotive, mechanical, and DIY tasks easier.

Question 2

What does the 6-point design mean for this socket?

Accepted Answer

The 6-point design grips the flats of fasteners more securely, reducing rounding and wear and extending the life of both the socket and the fastener.

Question 3

What are the key specifications of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Drive size: 1/4". Drive type: deep socket. Fastener size: 7/16" SAE. Construction: chrome vanadium steel with a chrome-plated finish. Markings include large size identifiers and dual SAE/metric indicators for quick identification.

Question 4

What does the deep socket design improve?

Accepted Answer

The extra depth allows you to reach recessed or longer bolts, increasing accessibility in confined or tight spaces.

Question 5

What materials and finish are used?

Accepted Answer

The socket is made from durable chrome vanadium steel and finished with chrome plating for corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability.

Question 6

How does the off-corner loading design help me?

Accepted Answer

Off-corner loading reduces rounding of fasteners by distributing torque more evenly across the fastener corners, protecting both the fastener and socket.

Question 7

What tools will work with this socket?

Accepted Answer

It is designed for use with a 1/4" drive ratchet or torque wrench compatible with 1/4" drive sockets.

Question 8

How should I install and use this socket safely?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the socket fully seats onto the fastener before applying torque, keep aligned to avoid slippage, and apply steady, even pressure without side loading to prevent damage.

Question 9

How is this socket different from shallow or 12-point sockets?

Accepted Answer

This is a 6-point, deep socket that provides a stronger grip and longer reach. Shallow sockets sit closer to the fastener, while 12-point designs offer easier alignment on certain fasteners but may wear faster under heavy torque.

Question 10

Is this socket a good value for heavy use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Built from chrome vanadium with a durable chrome finish, it offers solid durability and better life under repeated use, making it a cost-effective choice for frequent automotive and workshop tasks.

Question 11

What are some comparable 1/4" drive deep sockets available on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

You can compare with similar 7/16" deep sockets on Fepy, such as SATA SC11207 1/4" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 7/16" (URL: https://fepy.com/product/sata-sc11207-1-4-drive-6-point-deep-socket-7-16) and SATA SC11209 1/4" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 1/2" (URL: https://fepy.com/product/sata-sc11209-1-4-drive-6-point-deep-socket-1-2).

Question 12

What should I consider when choosing this socket versus other sizes or types?

Accepted Answer

Consider the fastener size you most often work with (7/16" in this case), the space you’ll be working in (deep sockets for recessed bolts), and whether you prefer 6-point grip and off-corner loading features for durability and reduced rounding.

Question 13

Are there dual markings on this socket for quick size identification?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The socket features large size markings and dual indicators (SAE and metric) to help you quickly identify the appropriate size in mixed-tool environments.
