FAQs

What material is this socket made from?

The socket is manufactured from high-quality chrome vanadium steel.

What does 'AF' stand for in 7/16in AF?

'AF' stands for 'Across Flats', referring to the measurement across opposite sides of the hexagonal head of the fastener.

What is the main advantage of this socket's design?

The primary advantage is its hexagonal design, which provides a greater contact area with the fastener, reducing the risk of rounding and allowing for higher torque application.

Is this socket suitable for impact wrenches?

While made of durable chrome vanadium steel, it is designed for manual use with ratchets and drivers. For impact use, specific impact sockets are recommended.

What is the overall length of the socket?

The overall length of the socket is 45.5mm.

Does this socket meet industry standards?

Yes, it is produced in accordance with ISO 9000 and AS954 specifications.

How does the satin finish benefit the user?

The satin finish provides a better grip, especially with potentially oily hands, and offers some protection against corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit fastener properly

Verify that the fastener head is indeed 7/16in AF. Ensure no debris is present inside the socket or on the fastener.

Socket slips on fastener head

Ensure you are using the correct size socket and that the fastener head is not rounded or damaged. Apply firm, consistent pressure.

Difficulty applying torque

Check that your ratchet or driver is securely attached to the socket and that the tool is in good working order. Ensure the fastener is not seized.

Signs of corrosion on the surface

Clean the affected area with a fine-grade steel wool and apply a light coat of oil to prevent further rust. Store in a dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This socket requires a compatible 3/8in drive ratchet, extension bar, or torque wrench for use. Ensure the drive size of your tool matches the socket's 3/8in drive.

Compatibility:

  • Fasteners: Designed for 7/16in AF (Across Flats) hexagonal head fasteners.
