Question 1

What is the SATA GL34306T 1/2 inch Drive 6 Point Thin Wall Impact Socket 13mm and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

It's a heavy‑duty, chrome plated socket with a 1/2 inch drive and a 13 mm hex opening. Designed for use with impact tools, it transfers high torque to 13 mm fasteners in tight spaces where standard sockets won’t fit.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: 13 mm size, 1/2 inch drive, thin wall design, 6-point (six‑sided) configuration, purpose-built for impact use, chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance, and constructed from high‑strength materials to handle high torque.

Question 3

Why would I choose a thin-wall design over a standard wall socket?

Accepted Answer

Thin-wall sockets have thinner walls, which helps you reach fasteners in tight or recessed areas where standard sockets won’t fit. They also reduce overall tool length and can improve access in crowded engine bays or machinery housings.

Question 4

How does the 6-point design benefit me when working with fasteners?

Accepted Answer

The 6-point contact provides better grip on the flats of hex fasteners, reducing the chance of rounding and improving torque transfer, especially during high‑torque impact tasks.

Question 5

Is this socket compatible with impact drivers and other impact tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is specifically engineered for impact use and will work with most 1/2 inch drive impact drivers and impact wrenches, delivering reliable torque in demanding applications.

Question 6

What fastener sizes and types can I use with this socket?

Accepted Answer

This socket is sized for 13 mm hex fasteners. It engages the hex head on 13 mm nuts and bolts and should be used with fasteners that are in good condition and within the intended torque range.

Question 7

How do I install and remove fasteners with this socket to avoid stripping?

Accepted Answer

Align the socket squarely with the fastener, apply steady, straight torque (avoid side loads), and use an appropriate impact setting. Do not hammer the fastener directly with the socket and stop if you notice slippage or rounding.

Question 8

How should I care for and maintain this socket to extend its life?

Accepted Answer

Wipe off debris after use, keep it dry to prevent rust, lightly lubricate the drive interface if needed, and store in a socket tray or case to prevent impact from other tools. The chrome finish helps resist corrosion, but avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals.

Question 11

What are common use cases for this thin-wall 13 mm socket?

Accepted Answer

Common use cases include automotive engine bay work, motorcycle maintenance, suspension and exhaust work, and equipment repairs where tight spaces prevent standard sockets from fitting or clearing obstructions.

Question 12

Are there any safety considerations I should keep in mind when using this thin-wall socket?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the correct size to avoid rounding, ensure straight alignment with the fastener, avoid applying side loads, wear eye protection in case of tool slippage, and inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use to prevent tool failure during high-torque tasks.

Question 13

What are some practical use cases where this socket shines?

Accepted Answer

It excels in cramped automotive spots (like ignition coil areas or tight exhaust clamps), motorcycle frame work, and machinery where access is restricted and high torque is needed without compromising fastener integrity.
