SATA GL11314 1/4" Drive 6 Point Socket 14mm

Key specs: 14mm size, 1/4" drive, 6-point design, chrome vanadium steel construction, chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance, engraved size markings, off-corner loading design, knurled edge for a non-slip grip.

A 6-point socket provides a snug, more interior contact with hexagonal fasteners, reducing rounding and distributing torque over a larger surface area. This is generally more forgiving on stubborn fasteners than 12-point designs, especially in tight spaces or with high torque.

It’s designed for use with any 1/4" drive ratchet, including extensions and adapters that accept 1/4" drives. It’s suitable for a wide range of small to mid-sized fasteners found in automotive, equipment, and general maintenance tasks.

Common uses include servicing small automotive fasteners, motorcycle maintenance, appliance repair, engine work on compact vehicles, and any task requiring precise, compact tooling in tight access areas.

Off-corner loading directs torque toward the fastener corners, reducing edge wear and rounding. This design helps keep fasteners intact longer and improves tool engagement in difficult or corroded fasteners.

Engraved size markings on the socket are designed for quick identification. For this model, look for the 14mm marking on the surface, and verify against a caliper or ruler if needed during inspection.

Keep the socket clean and dry after use. Wipe off grease and moisture, and store in a dry toolbox or rack. If needed, a light lubrication or wipe with a mild metal-safe cleaner will help preserve the chrome finish.

Yes. Use the correct 1/4" drive and size to avoid slippage, apply steady torque without striking the tool with impact force, and wear eye protection in environments with debris. Keep hands clear of rotating parts and ensure fasteners are properly aligned before tightening.
