FAQs

What does 'T55' refer to?

T55 refers to the specific size and shape of the Torx (star-shaped) drive head that this socket is designed to fit.

Can I use this socket with a regular ratchet?

Yes, this socket has a 1/2" drive and can be used with standard 1/2" drive ratchets, breaker bars, or torque wrenches. However, it is specifically designed for the higher stresses associated with impact tools.

What materials is the socket made from?

The socket is constructed from chromium-vanadium steel and S2 Steel for durability and resistance to abrasion, oxidation, and corrosion.

What applications is this socket best suited for?

It is best suited for automotive brake, body, and engine service applications that require high torque and involve T55 Torx fasteners.

How long is the socket?

The socket has a length of 53mm.

Will this socket work with other Torx sizes?

No, this socket is precisely sized for T55 Torx fasteners. Using it on other sizes may damage the socket or the fastener.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit fastener properly

Verify that the fastener is indeed a T55 Torx size. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the fastener head.

Socket appears to be deforming under impact use

Ensure you are using a compatible impact wrench and not exceeding its torque limits. Check if the fastener is excessively seized, which may require additional penetrating oil or heat.

Socket shows signs of rust or corrosion

Clean the socket thoroughly with a wire brush and apply a light coating of oil. Store in a dry place.
