SATA ST16317SC 3/4" Drive 6 Point Socket 1.13/16"

The 6-point design grips the flat sides of the fastener more evenly, which reduces rounding and wear under high torque. This means longer life for both the socket and the fasteners you’re turning, especially in demanding tasks.

It’s crafted from chrome vanadium steel and chrome-plated for strength and corrosion resistance, helping it stand up to tough jobs and resist rust over time.

The socket features large size markings for quick reads, and it provides both SAE and metric indicators (double-line SAE and knurled MM) so you can distinguish standard and metric sizes at a glance.

Yes. It’s engineered for a precise fit on 3/4" drive ratchets, helping to minimize slippage and improve torque transfer during high-torque tasks.

It’s well-suited for automotive repair, heavy machinery maintenance, and other high-torque applications where you need a durable socket that won’t round fasteners.

Make sure the fastener is aligned squarely with the socket, seat the socket fully on the fastener, and apply steady, even torque with a suitable wrench or ratchet. Avoid hammering or using extenders that could cause slip or breakage.

Off-corner loading shifts the contact toward the sides of the fastener base, reducing rounding and wear on fasteners and the socket during high-torque use.

Wipe it clean after use, keep it dry to prevent rust, and store it in a toolbox or organizer to avoid drops and impact damage. Periodic inspection for wear or pitting is a good habit.
