Question 1

What is the SATA ST34843SC 1" Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 55mm used for?

Accepted Answer

This is a heavy-duty impact socket designed to fit a 1" drive impact wrench and engage a 55mm fastener. The 6-point design provides a secure grip to reduce slip and rounding during high-torque applications.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this socket?

Accepted Answer

1" drive size, 6-point fastener end, 55mm socket size, designed for impact wrench use, off-corner loading design, protective coating for corrosion resistance, and high-strength steel construction for durability.

Question 3

What does 6-point design mean and why is it better?

Accepted Answer

A 6-point (double-hex) contact provides a larger contact area with the fastener head, delivering better torque transfer and reducing rounding on stubborn fasteners compared with 12-point sockets.

Question 4

What fasteners is this socket suitable for?

Accepted Answer

It is intended for large fasteners up to 55mm head size, typically used on automotive and industrial nuts and bolts that require substantial torque with minimal rounding.

Question 5

What are the typical use cases?

Accepted Answer

Automotive repairs (lug and axle assemblies), heavy equipment maintenance, industrial machinery servicing, and any job requiring high-torque fastening with large fasteners.

Question 6

How do I install and use this socket safely?

Accepted Answer

Attach the socket to a compatible 1" drive impact wrench, ensure the 55mm fastener matches the socket, engage fully, and apply torque within the tool and socket’s rated capacity. Avoid using with manual ratchets or impact wrenches that exceed the socket’s design limits.

Question 7

What safety precautions should I follow?

Accepted Answer

Wear eye protection and gloves, verify the socket and fastener are free of damage, keep hands clear of moving parts, and avoid striking or hammering the socket. Use it only with compatible power tools and engage fasteners straight-on to reduce slipping.

Question 8

What maintenance does this socket require?

Accepted Answer

Keep it clean and dry after use, inspect for cracks or wear, and reapply protective coating if you notice corrosion. Store in a dry environment to prolong life.
