SATA GL11311 1/4" Drive 6 Point Socket 11mm

A 6-point design grips hex fasteners more securely than many other socket types, reducing slipping and fastener rounding, especially under high torque or when fasteners are worn.

Material: Chrome Vanadium steel with a corrosion‑resistant chrome finish. Drive: 1/4". Size: 11mm. Design: 6‑point with off‑corner loading for better grip and reduced rounding. Markings: Large size identifiers with dual SAE/metric cues for quick recognition.

Off‑corner loading helps distribute contact more evenly across the fastener corners, reducing rounding and wear, and extending both the fastener and socket life in tough jobs.

It is designed for use with a standard 1/4" drive ratchet. Extensions or adapters can be used to reach fasteners in confined spaces, as long as the drive size remains 1/4".

The socket features distinct markings to differentiate metric and SAE sizing. It uses a large size identification and a dual marking approach (SAE and MM cues) to help you quickly confirm the correct size at a glance.

Commonly used for automotive fasteners (bolts and nuts around 11mm), motorcycle maintenance, and various general mechanical tasks where 11mm fasteners are involved and space is limited.

Align the socket with the fastener, ensure it seats fully, then attach a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet. Apply steady torque without side loading, and avoid forcing the socket if it doesn’t seat properly.

Wear eye protection, use the correct size to avoid slippage, keep the socket clean and free of debris, avoid using damaged or cracked tools, and never use excessive force that could cause fastener or tool damage.

Keep it dry and clean after use, wipe away lubricants or debris, store in a designated tool tray or organizer, and inspect for wear or corrosion. The chrome finish helps resist rust, but regular inspection is still recommended.

For closely related sizes, you can compare with the 10mm and 12mm 1/4" drive 6‑point sockets from the same line.

Yes. It combines durable Chrome Vanadium steel, a corrosion‑resistant finish, an off‑corner loading design, and easy‑read markings, all in a compact 1/4" drive socket. This makes it a practical choice for frequent use across automotive and general mechanical tasks.

Absolutely. If you’re building a kit, consider pairing this 11mm socket with other sizes in the GL1131x series (e.g., 10mm and 12mm) to cover a broader range of fasteners.
