Question 1

What is the SATA ST34843 1" Drive 6 Point Metric Impact Socket 55mm used for?

Accepted Answer

This is a heavy‑duty 1" drive impact socket sized for 55 mm metric hex fasteners. It’s designed for use with impact drivers, providing a secure grip with a 6‑point design and off‑corner loading to reduce fastener rounding during high-torque use.

Question 2

What does the 6‑point design mean for my fasteners?

Accepted Answer

The 6‑point design grips the hex fastener more securely and distributes torque evenly, helping prevent rounding or cam-out under heavy impact compared with some other socket configurations.

Question 3

What are the key materials and finish of this socket?

Accepted Answer

It’s built from chrome vanadium steel for strength and durability, with a black oxide coating that provides corrosion resistance and longer tool life.

Question 4

Which fasteners is this socket compatible with?

Accepted Answer

It’s intended for large metric hex fasteners up to 55 mm across flats and is designed for use with a 1" drive impact tool.

Question 5

How do I use this socket with an impact driver?

Accepted Answer

Attach the socket to a 1" drive impact wrench, ensure it’s fully seated on the fastener, and apply controlled torque. Let the impact tool do the work and avoid striking the socket with a hammer or loading it off‑axis.

Question 6

Are there any safety tips I should follow when using this socket?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wear eye protection, inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, ensure the fastener and threads are clean, don’t exceed your tool’s torque rating, and avoid side or misalignment loading to prevent damage.

Question 7

What are common use cases for this socket?

Accepted Answer

It’s well suited for automotive repair (large metric fasteners), industrial maintenance, and machinery work where high‑torque impacts on large hex fasteners are needed.

Question 8

How should I care for and maintain this socket to maximize its life?

Accepted Answer

Keep it clean after use, store it in a protective case or tray, wipe away moisture to prevent corrosion, and inspect for wear or cracks before reuse. If stored long term, a light coating of rust‑preventive oil can help preserve the finish.

Question 9

How does this model compare to similar sockets from Fepy?

Accepted Answer

For similar high‑torque, 1" drive, 6‑point metric sockets on Fepy, you might consider alternatives like the 60 mm 6‑point version, or 55 mm 12‑point variants, which offer different engagement styles and slightly different torque characteristics.

Question 11

Are there any installation tips for tightening large fasteners with this socket?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the fastener and threads are clean and dry, seat the socket completely on the fastener, and apply torque with a steady, controlled motion—let the impact tool work without forcing the fit. Avoid cross‑threading and check for alignment before applying full torque.

Question 12

What should I do if I’m not satisfied or the socket doesn’t fit my fastener?

Accepted Answer

If you’re not satisfied or the socket doesn’t meet your needs, you can initiate a return under Fepy’s standard return policy. Contact support to start the process, keep the packaging intact, and include proof of purchase.

Question 13

Why is this socket a good value for frequent heavy‑duty work?

Accepted Answer

Its combination of robust chrome vanadium construction, black oxide finish for corrosion resistance, and the 6‑point off‑corner design provides durable, reliable performance in high‑torque conditions, making it a cost‑effective choice for frequent automotive and industrial use.
