SATA GL34926 1" Drive 6 Point Deep Impact Socket 38mm

Key specs include a 1-inch drive size, 38 mm deep socket length, 6-point configuration, deep reach for recessed fasteners, off-corner loading design, and construction from high-strength chrome vanadium steel for durability in impact environments.

The 38 mm refers to the socket’s depth (how far it reaches past the fastener). This deep reach helps you access fasteners that sit deep or behind obstacles without requiring awkward angles.

Off-corner loading means the socket grips the flat surfaces near the corners of the fastener, not the corners themselves. This reduces rounding, improves torque transfer, and helps protect both the fastener and socket during high-torque applications.

A 6-point socket provides a more secure grip on hex fasteners and better torque transfer, which is advantageous for high-torque and heavy-duty work. 12-point sockets are more versatile for alignment but can be less resistant to rounding under heavy load.

The socket is crafted from high-strength chrome vanadium steel, designed to withstand impact forces and provide long-lasting performance in demanding work environments.

It is well suited for automotive maintenance, heavy equipment repair, and industrial applications where large fasteners need to be reached in recessed or hard-to-reach areas using an impact driver.

Attach the socket to the 1-inch drive of your impact driver, ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener, and apply steady torque. Avoid hammering or striking the socket, and let the impact driver do the work while keeping hands clear of moving parts.

Wear eye protection and gloves, inspect the socket for cracks before use, ensure the fastener is properly aligned, avoid using damaged fasteners, and keep the workspace dry and clean to prevent slipping or corrosion.

This socket offers durable chrome vanadium construction with a deep reach and 6-point design for reliable performance in tough jobs. It is typically sold as a single deep impact socket, suitable for professional and DIY use.
