Q: What kind of tool is this socket meant to be used with?
A: It is designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, impact ratchets, or air tools. It is not intended for hand ratchets alone when high torque is required.
Q: What advantages does the 6-point design offer?
A: The 6-point hex shape provides more contact area on the fastener flats, which helps avoid rounding and improves the strength of torque transfer, especially under high load.
Q: In what situations is the standard length impact socket preferable to a deep socket?
A: Standard length is better when fasteners are fairly accessible or semi recessed but not deeply set. It offers more strength due to thicker walls, and is less likely to break than deeper sockets when used in tight, high-torque conditions.
