SATA GL16617 3/4" Drive 12 Point Socket 36mm

Key specs: drive size = 3/4"; socket size = 36mm; 12-point (double hex) fastener end design; off-corner loading to reduce fastener rounding; chrome vanadium steel construction with chrome plating for corrosion resistance; clearly marked size with SAE and metric (MM) indicators; designed for heavy-duty, high-torque applications.

Off-corner loading spreads contact more evenly across the fastener corners, reducing rounding and slippage, especially under high torque or angled engagement. This design improves grip, prolongs tool life, and makes it easier to start engagement in tight spaces.

It's well-suited for automotive work, industrial maintenance, and construction tasks that involve large bolts and high-torque fasteners. The 36mm size and 3/4" drive make it a solid choice for heavy-duty applications that require durable, long-lasting sockets.

This socket features large, easy-to-read markings. It also includes both SAE and metric (MM) indicators to help you confirm the size at a glance, reducing time spent searching for the right tool in a busy toolbox.

Fit the socket squarely onto the fastener, align the drive with your ratchet or breaker bar, and apply steady, moderate torque. Ensure the fastener is clean and free of debris to prevent rounding. For confined spaces, use a short extension or a universal joint to reach the fastener without forcing engagement.

The socket is made from premium chrome vanadium steel for high strength and longevity. It features a chrome-plated finish offering excellent rust and corrosion resistance, helping it withstand harsh environments and reduce replacement needs.

Keep it clean and dry after use, wipe away grease and grime, and store it in a toolbox or tool chest to avoid moisture exposure. Regular inspection for signs of wear, rounding, or rust will help you replace it before any critical task.

12-point sockets like the GL16617 offer quicker engagement in tight spaces and are easier to align with the fastener, especially in automotive or industrial settings. 6-point sockets grip the flats better under extreme torque but require precise alignment and more space to engage. For the specific 36mm bolts you’re handling, the 12-point design helps speed and reliability in confined areas.

Yes. The socket is designed for use with 3/4" drive ratchets, wrenches, and impact tools that accept standard 3/4" drive sockets, making it a versatile addition to your existing toolkit.

Yes. The GL16617 provides high-torque capability, corrosion resistance, and clear SAE/MM markings at a competitive price point. Its durable chrome vanadium construction reduces the need for frequent replacements, offering long-term value for professional and DIY use alike.
