SATA GL34309 1/2" Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 16mm

The 16 mm size refers to the hex size that fits 16 mm fasteners. It’s ideal for larger bolts and nuts commonly found in automotive and heavy equipment applications.

The six-point design provides a strong contact on the flats of the fastener, reducing the chance of rounding and improving torque transfer during high-torque impact tasks.

Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding by concentrating contact on the sides of the fastener rather than the corners, which is especially helpful when dealing with stubborn or seized hardware.

This socket has a one-half inch drive and is compatible with standard 1/2 in drive impact wrenches and drivers, allowing it to handle heavy-duty impact work.

It’s built from high-strength materials and finished with chrome plating. The chrome finish offers improved corrosion resistance and durability for long-term use in tough environments.

Align the socket squarely with the fastener, attach it securely to the impact tool, and apply steady, appropriate torque. Avoid using the socket on fasteners that exceed its intended torque rating, and inspect the socket for any cracks or wear before use.

It's well-suited for automotive maintenance, machinery repairs, and heavy equipment work where 16 mm fasteners require high-torque impact applications, such as loosening stubborn bolts or tightening large fasteners.

This socket features large markings for easy size identification, with 16 mm clearly indicated on the surface to help you grab the right tool fast.

Keep it clean and dry after use, store in a protective tray, and avoid exposure to corrosive chemicals. If needed, wipe with a dry cloth and occasionally inspect for wear or cracks.

Chrome plating provides corrosion resistance and a durable finish while the design is optimized for impact use, including off-corner loading and six-point engagement for reliable performance on heavy-duty tasks.
