SATA ST24402BU 1/2" Drive Hex Bit Socket 5/16"

Key features include precision-engineered tolerances for a snug fit, large stamped size markings for quick identification, heat-treated construction for durability, and S2 steel insert bits for added strength. These combine to improve torque transfer, reduce slipping, and extend tool life.

The socket uses chrome vanadium steel for broad strength and durability, with a chrome-plated finish that resists rust and corrosion. The internal hex bit is an S2 steel insert, chosen for high hardness and wear resistance.

It is a 1/2" drive socket intended for 5/16" hex fasteners. The large stamped markings help confirm the size quickly on the job.

It's well suited for automotive work, construction tasks, and general maintenance where 5/16" hex fasteners are used and a 1/2" drive tool is appropriate.

Look for the large stamped size markings on the socket itself; they are designed for quick size identification in tight or busy work environments.

Align the 5/16" hex bit with the fastener, attach the socket to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or driver, and apply steady, controlled torque to avoid rounding the fastener. Use steady pressure and avoid sudden impacts that could damage the bit or fastener.

After use, wipe away dirt or grease, dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion, and store in a dry toolbox. Periodically inspect for wear or damage, especially on the hex insert, and replace if the fit becomes sloppy.

Yes. Use proper personal protective equipment (gloves and eye protection as needed), ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener, apply controlled torque to avoid slipping or rounding the fastener, and inspect both the fastener and socket for wear before use.

This socket is designed for use with 1/2" drive tools. Check your tool’s torque rating and intended use; if you’re using a high-torque impact driver, ensure the socket is rated for impact use and in good condition to prevent premature wear.
