SATA GL13409 1/2" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 18mm

Its 6-point design provides a secure grip on hex fasteners, reducing rounding. Off-corner loading minimizes rounding damage to fasteners, and the chrome vanadium steel construction with a chrome-plated finish delivers durability and corrosion resistance for long-term use.

It’s made from chrome vanadium steel with a chrome-plated finish. This combination offers high strength, wear resistance, and excellent rust/corrosion resistance, making it reliable under heavy torque and challenging environments.

Yes. It is designed for use with 1/2\" drive ratchets and is engineered to withstand high torque and impact for demanding automotive and mechanical jobs.

A deep socket is longer than a standard socket, allowing it to reach fasteners that sit deeper or recessed, such as certain bolts in engines or assemblies. Use it when standard-depth sockets can’t access the fastener head.

This socket features laser-etched size markings for quick and reliable size identification, so you can confirm the 18mm size at a glance.

Ideal for automotive maintenance, engine work, and general mechanical repairs where 18mm hex fasteners are encountered and reach depth matters, such as recessed bolts or plugs.

Attach the socket to a compatible 1/2\" drive ratchet, ensure the 18mm size matches the fastener, and apply steady torque within your tool’s rated capacity. Avoid using excessive force and never strike the socket with a hammer.

Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection), ensure the fastener is properly aligned to prevent slipping, use the correct size to avoid rounding, and keep the workspace clear of obstacles while applying torque to avoid injury.

With a robust chrome vanadium construction, corrosion-resistant chrome finish, and a deep 18mm profile, it offers strong durability and versatility for 1/2\" drive tasks. For returns, refer to Fepy’s general return policy on eligible items; if the socket is unused and in original condition, you can assess value against your needs and expected usage.

These options offer comparable reach and 6-point grip, with variations in finish or slight dimensional tolerances that may suit different kits.

Keep it clean and dry after use, wipe away grease or debris, lightly lubricate the interior contact area if needed, and store it in a protective case or tray to prevent nicks. Inspect for wear or damage before reuse and replace if the 6-point contact or deep socket wall shows any excessive wear.
