SATA GL12315 3/8" Drive 6 Point Socket 20mm

Key specs include a 20mm size, 6-point design, chrome vanadium steel construction, a bright polished chrome finish for corrosion resistance, compatibility with 3/8\" drive ratchets, off-corner loading to minimize fastener rounding, large size markings for quick identification, and an impact-resistant construction for heavy-duty use.

A 6-point (hex) design provides a snug, more precise fit on hex fasteners, improving torque transfer and reducing the chance of rounding when high torque is applied compared with other socket configurations.

It's well-suited for automotive repair, motorcycle maintenance, machinery service, and any project requiring a 20mm hex fastener in hard-to-reach or confined spaces where a 3/8\" drive is convenient.

Attach the socket squarely to a 3/8\" drive ratchet, ensure the drive is fully seated, and apply steady, even torque in the correct direction. If clearance is tight, use a short extension or swivel joint to reach the fastener without forcing the tool.

The socket is clearly marked with its size on the outer surface; for this model, look for the 20mm marking to confirm the size at a glance.

If you need other 3/8\" drive, 6-point sockets in related sizes, consider these on Fepy.com: 22mm version (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl12314-3-8-drive-6-point-socket-22mm), 18mm version (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl12312-3-8-drive-6-point-socket-18mm), and 25mm version (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl12316-3-8-drive-6-point-socket-25mm). All feature chrome vanadium steel, a polished finish, and off-corner loading, providing similar durability with size variations to fit different fasteners.

Always wear eye protection and keep hands clear of moving parts. Use the correctly sized socket to prevent slippage, avoid over-torquing, and ensure the socket and ratchet are in good condition before use. Store tools in a dry, clean area to prevent corrosion.

Yes. The socket is designed to handle heavy-duty torque, featuring chrome vanadium steel and an impact-resistant design. For extended life, avoid using damaged sockets and always use the appropriate extension and adapters when needed.

Wipe the socket clean after use to remove any oil, dirt, or debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust, and periodically inspect for wear or rounding. Avoid exposing the polished chrome finish to harsh solvents that could degrade the surface.

Choose based on the fastener size you most frequently encounter (20mm in this case), the drive size you use (3/8\"), and the working space (tight or open areas). Consider having a few complementary sizes (e.g., 18mm, 22mm) for versatility, and look for features like off-corner loading and a corrosion-resistant chrome finish for durability.
