Question 1

What is the SATA GL34316 1/2\" Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 23mm used for?

Accepted Answer

This is a 1/2\" drive, 6-point hex socket designed for use with impact drivers. The 23mm size fits fasteners of that hex dimension, and the off-corner loading design helps reduce fastener rounding during heavy torque tasks common in automotive, machinery, and construction work.

Question 2

What does the 6-point design mean for performance?

Accepted Answer

A 6-point socket grips the nut faces more securely during high-torque applications, improving grip and torque transfer while reducing the risk of rounding compared to some other socket designs.

Question 3

Can this socket be used with standard 1/2\" drive tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is intended for use with standard 1/2\" drive tools, including impact wrenches and drivers, providing broad compatibility with common workshop equipment.

Question 4

What is off-corner loading design and why is it beneficial?

Accepted Answer

Off-corner loading means the contact is on the flat surfaces rather than the sharp corners. This distributes torque more evenly, reduces the likelihood of rounding fasteners, and extends socket life under heavy use.

Question 5

What are the key specs and materials of this socket?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: 1/2\" drive, 23mm hex size, 6-point design, impact-rated durability, and high-strength steel. It also features large markings for easy size identification.

Question 6

How should I install and use this socket with an impact driver?

Accepted Answer

Attach the 23mm, 1/2\" drive socket to an appropriate impact tool, ensure it fully engages the fastener, and apply controlled, short bursts of torque. Avoid using damaged sockets or applying excessive lateral force.

Question 7

What are common applications for this socket?

Accepted Answer

Common uses include automotive work (lug nuts and fasteners around the 23mm range), machinery maintenance, and construction tasks where heavy-duty, high-torque fastening is required with an impact tool.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

Inspect for cracks or wear before use, clean after job to remove debris, keep it dry and free from moisture, store away from heavy impacts when not in use, and avoid using with damaged or misfit fasteners.

Question 9

How does this 23mm socket compare to the 22mm variant on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

The 23mm (GL34316) and 22mm (GL34315) are both 1/2\" drive, 6-point, impact-rated sockets with off-corner loading. The main difference is size: 23mm vs 22mm. Choose 22mm when your fasteners are 22mm, or 23mm for 23mm fasteners. See variant: https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl34315-12-drive-6-point-impact-socket-22mm

Question 10

How does this 23mm socket compare to the 24mm variant on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

The 23mm (GL34316) and 24mm (GL34317) share the same design and durability, but suit different fastener sizes. Use 23mm for 23mm fasteners and 24mm for 24mm fasteners. See variant: https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl34317-12-drive-6-point-impact-socket-24mm

Question 11

Is this socket suitable for professional, heavy-duty use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is designed for impact-grade durability and professional use, with features like off-corner loading and clearly marked sizes to withstand demanding tasks and frequent use in harsh environments.

Question 12

What safety precautions should I follow when using this socket?

Accepted Answer

Always wear eye protection, ensure the tool is powered off before changing sockets, use the correct 1/2\" drive and size, inspect the socket for cracks or damage before use, and avoid using damaged or misfit fasteners that could cause slippage or breakage.
