SATA GL34316T 1/2" Drive 6 Point Thin Wall Impact Socket 23mm

Thin-wall construction reduces wall thickness, allowing access to fasteners in tight or recessed spaces where standard sockets won’t fit, while still providing solid grip on the fastener.

A 6-point design increases contact with the flat surfaces of the fastener, helping to reduce rounding and cam-out, especially under high torque.

It’s designed for impact-driven use, making it ideal for high-torque tasks. While it can be used with non-impact tools, its construction is optimized for impact use.

It fits standard 1/2 in drive tools, offering compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and impact wrenches.

The socket is specified for 23 mm fasteners, corresponding to a 23 mm hex head size.

Automotive work (engine bays, under dashboards, wheel wells), machinery maintenance, and other tasks where space is restricted and high-torque impact is needed.

Attach the socket to a 1/2 in drive tool, ensure a proper fit on the fastener, apply torque gradually, and avoid using damaged fasteners or forcing the tool into tight spots. Use protective gloves and eye protection as needed.

Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, only use with appropriate impact-rated tools, avoid leveraging with excessive force, and keep the tool away from heat or open flames to prevent material degradation.

Choose thin-wall when you need access in tight spaces and where standard-wall sockets won’t fit. If space isn’t an issue, a standard-wall socket may offer slightly greater rigidity in some applications.

Keep it clean and dry after use, wipe away debris, store in a dry place, and regularly inspect for cracks or wear. Use the socket only for its intended purpose and with compatible tools.
