SATA GL34323 1/2" Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 30mm

A 6-point design provides a secure fit on hex fasteners, minimizes rounding and slipping, and improves torque transfer during heavy-duty use compared to some other socket designs.

Yes. It is designed for 1/2\" drive tools and specifically optimized for use with impact drivers.

Off-corner loading shifts contact away from the corners of the fastener, which reduces rounding and wear on the fastener and socket during high-torque applications.

Size: 30mm; Drive: 1/2\"; Head type: 6-point (hex).

It’s made from high-strength steel with an impact-rated design to withstand high-torque, repetitive-use environments and resist wear over time.

Ideal for automotive work, heavy equipment maintenance, and industrial tasks where high torque is needed and fasteners require secure engagement without rounding.

Pair it with a properly sized 1/2\" drive impact wrench, seat it fully on the fastener, use short bursts rather than sustained pressure, avoid extension bars that exceed tool ratings, and inspect the socket for wear or cracks before reuse.

The socket features large markings on its surface for easy size identification, so you can quickly spot 30mm among other sockets.

For related sizes, you can compare with other 1/2\" drive 6-point impact sockets in the SATA GL343 family, such as smaller 28mm and larger 32mm variants, to choose the best match for your fastener size. Examples (availability may vary): 28mm variant: https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl34321-1-2-drive-6-point-impact-socket-28mm and 32mm variant: https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl34325-1-2-drive-6-point-impact-socket-32mm

It combines high-impact durability, a secure 6-point grip, and an off-corner loading feature that reduces fastener wear, all in a 30mm size ideal for larger fasteners—leading to longer life and fewer replacement sockets in tough jobs.

Yes. Always wear eye protection and gloves, use the socket only with appropriate 1/2\" drive impact tools, check the socket for cracks or wear before use, avoid using damaged sockets, and keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts during operation.

Keep the socket clean and dry, store it in a dry socket rack, avoid dropping or banging it against hard surfaces, and periodically inspect for cracks or wear. If any damage is found, replace the socket to prevent fastener or tool damage.
