SATA GL13401 1/2" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 10mm

The 6-point geometry provides a strong grip on the fastener flats, reducing rounding and distributing torque more evenly than some other socket designs, especially under high-torque conditions.

The deep socket length extends farther from the tool’s handle, allowing access to fasteners that sit deeper or behind obstacles, saving time and making repairs easier.

Off-corner loading shifts contact away from the very corners of the fastener, reducing rounding and wear, which helps extend both tool and fastener life in tough jobs.

Material: Chrome vanadium steel; Finish: Chrome-plated; Drive size: 1/2"; Socket size: 10mm; Type: Deep 6-point socket; Length: Deep (extended); Markings: Laser-etched size; Grip: Knurled edge for better handling; Impact-ready and lightweight for easy handling.

Automotive maintenance (engine work, suspension and brake components), general mechanical repairs, and any task requiring a deep reach to access recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners.

Use with a 1/2" drive ratchet, an extension bar to increase reach, and optionally a universal joint for tricky angles. It can also be used with impact-rated 1/2" drive tools when appropriate.

Ensure the socket fully seats onto the fastener, select the correct size (10mm in this case), apply steady torque without sudden jerks, and avoid using the socket on fasteners outside its rated torque range to prevent damage.

Keep it clean and dry after use, wipe off oils or solvents, store in a protective case to prevent corrosion, and inspect for wear or rounding regularly to maintain performance.

Compared to other deep 1/2" sockets on Fepy, this 10mm 6-point deep socket emphasizes off-corner loading and a knurled grip for better control, plus a chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance. Alternatives include: 12mm deep 6-point socket (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl13403-1-2-drive-6-point-deep-socket-12mm) which offers a slightly larger size; an 8mm deep 6-point socket (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl13399-1-2-drive-6-point-deep-socket-8mm) for smaller fasteners; and a deep socket set covering multiple sizes (https://fepy.com/product/sata-deep-socket-set-1-2-drive-10-19mm) for broader projects.

Yes. It is designed for 1/2" drive use and can handle high torque. If using with impact tools, verify the tool’s rated compatibility and avoid exceeding the socket’s intended use.

If you need a durable, corrosion-resistant deep socket with secure 6-point grip for 10mm fasteners and recessed applications, this SATA socket offers solid value. Its combination of material, finish, deep reach, and off-corner loading benefits makes it a strong choice for pros and DIYers alike.
