Question 1

What is the SATA ST11311 11mm 1/4" drive 6-point socket designed for?

Accepted Answer

It’s built to grip 11mm fasteners with a 6-point design, providing a secure fit while minimizing rounding. The off-corner loading helps reduce fastener damage, and large markings plus dual identification lines (SAE and metric) make sizing quick to read.

Question 2

What are the main specifications of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Key specs include a 6-point socket design, chrome vanadium steel for durability, a corrosion-resistant chrome finish, a compact 1/4" drive, and an 11mm size. It also features precise engineering for a secure torque fit and easy handling.

Question 3

How does the off-corner loading design benefit me?

Accepted Answer

Off-corner loading distributes contact more evenly across the flat surfaces of the fastener, reducing rounding and wear, which helps extend fastener life and provides better torque transfer.

Question 4

How can I tell the metric size from the SAE marking on this socket?

Accepted Answer

This socket uses large size markings for SAE (inch sizes) and a knurled line to identify metric sizes, making it easier to distinguish between standard and metric fasteners at a glance.

Question 5

Where is this socket typically used?

Accepted Answer

It’s suitable for automotive and general mechanical work, especially where 11mm fasteners are common and access is limited, thanks to its compact 1/4" drive.

Question 6

How should I use this socket with a ratchet?

Accepted Answer

Attach the socket to a 1/4" drive ratchet, fit it onto an 11mm fastener, and apply torque within normal operating ranges. Ensure the fastener is properly aligned and avoid applying excessive force to prevent rounding.

Question 7

What safety considerations should I keep in mind when using this socket?

Accepted Answer

Use the correct size to avoid slippage, wear eye protection in case of tool slippage, keep the work area clean, and inspect the socket for wear or damage before use. Do not use it with power tools beyond the tool’s rated capability.

Question 8

Is this socket durable enough for long-term use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It’s made from chrome vanadium steel with a corrosion-resistant chrome finish, designed to withstand regular use in both automotive and general maintenance applications.

Question 9

Can I use this socket for both metric and SAE fasteners?

Accepted Answer

This socket is specifically sized for 11mm metric fasteners, with identification features to distinguish metric sizes. For SAE equivalents, you would use the corresponding size in the SAE range.

Question 10

What care or maintenance does this socket require?

Accepted Answer

Keep the socket clean and dry, wipe away any grease or debris after use, and store it in a protective case or tray to prevent nicks and corrosion. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture when not in use.
