SATA GL13317 1/2" Drive 6 Point Socket 30mm

A 6-point socket provides a tighter, fuller contact with the fastener, reducing rounding and distributing torque more evenly. This is especially helpful for high-torque applications and larger fasteners, making it a more durable choice for automotive and mechanical work.

Specifications include: socket size 30 mm, drive size 1/2 inch, 6-point design, material chromium-vanadium steel, chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance, off-corner loading design, engraved size markings, knurled edge for a secure grip, compatibility with all 1/2 inch drive ratchets, and a lifetime warranty.

Yes. The GL13317 is designed to work with all 1/2 inch drive ratchets, making it versatile for a wide range of tools and setups.

Off-corner loading shifts contact away from the sharp edges of the fastener, reducing rounding and wear on both the socket and the fastener. This helps extend tool life and improves torque transfer in tough jobs.

This socket features large engraved size markings on the body for fast recognition, so you can grab the correct size at a glance even in low-light or crowded toolboxes.

Wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth after use. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Store in a protective case or tray to prevent nicks. A light coating of oil can help prevent surface rust, especially if the socket is exposed to moisture or humidity.

Ideal for automotive tasks (e.g., suspension, wheel fasteners, large bolts) and general mechanical work where large fasteners are encountered. Its durable construction and 6-point design make it suitable for high-torque scenarios and frequent use.

Attach the socket securely to the 1/2 inch drive ratchet, ensure proper alignment with the fastener, and use extensions or a breaker bar when needed for high-torque scenarios. Apply steady, straight-back pressure and avoid side loading to prevent rounding or damage. If a fastener resists, pause and re-check alignment rather than forcing it.

The GL13317 is built from chromium-vanadium steel with a chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It is designed for high-torque applications and long-term durability, and it is backed by a lifetime warranty for reliability and peace of mind.
