SATA ST13309SC 1/2" Drive 6 Point Socket 18mm

The SATA 18mm socket is constructed from heat-treated chrome vanadium steel, providing enhanced durability and strength, making it suitable for both regular and impact use.

The overall length of the socket is approximately 38 mm, which is designed to offer sufficient reach while maintaining compactness for various applications.

Yes, this socket is specifically designed for use with impact drivers, allowing it to withstand high torque and impact forces without compromising its integrity.

The off-corner loading design helps to reduce fastener rounding by distributing the load more evenly across the fastener corners, enhancing the grip and minimizing damage.

The SATA 18mm socket complies with ANSI B107.2M and DIN 3129 standards, ensuring that it meets industry requirements for quality and performance.

Yes, the socket features large markings that are permanently moulded into the surface, providing easy size identification for quick access during use.

This socket is suitable for a variety of applications including automotive repairs, machinery maintenance, and general assembly tasks, making it a versatile tool in any toolkit.

It's a heavy‑duty socket designed to engage and turn the fasteners used when working with SATA drives. The 6‑point design provides a secure grip for removing or tightening drive components when using a 1/2" drive ratchet.

Key features include heavy‑duty steel construction for durability, a 6‑point design for secure engagement, an extended skid‑proof handle for better grip, and a hanging hole for easy storage.

The 6‑point design offers more contact area on hex fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding or slipping when applying torque to drive screws, which helps protect SATA drive components during servicing.

Yes. It is designed to be compatible with standard 1/2" drive ratchets, extensions, and related hand tools.

Attach the socket to a 1/2" drive ratchet, align with the SATA drive fasteners, apply steady torque to loosen or tighten, and keep the drive stable during operation. Store afterward using the hanging hole.

Work on a clean, non‑static surface; use appropriate anti‑static precautions when handling drives; apply torque steadily to avoid over‑tightening; keep fingers clear of moving parts; and inspect the socket for wear before use.

Wipe the socket after use, keep it dry to prevent rust, periodically inspect for cracks or wear, and store it on the hanging hole or in a protective case to prevent damage.
