Elora Hexagon Socket - 10mm - 3/8"" Sq. Dr.

The socket is manufactured from high-quality chrome vanadium steel, which is hardened, tempered, and chrome-plated for strength and corrosion resistance.

This socket requires a 3/8" square drive tool, such as a ratchet or breaker bar.

This socket is designed for hand tools and manual use. It is not specified for use with impact wrenches, which can cause damage due to their high torque and hammering action.

It is recommended to store the socket in a dry place to prevent rust. Since it is sold loose, using a socket organizer, rail, or tool box is ideal for keeping it organized and protected.

'Sold loose' means the socket is supplied individually without any packaging or associated accessories, such as a case or a set. You will receive just the single 10mm socket.

Yes, the socket is manufactured to meet DIN 3124/ISO 2725 and DIN 3120/ISO 1174 specifications, which are widely recognized international standards for hand tools.

This socket is specifically designed for 10mm metric hexagon fasteners.

Ensure you are using the correct 10mm socket for a 10mm hex fastener. Verify that the fastener head is not stripped or damaged. Check that the socket is fully seated onto the fastener.

Confirm that you are using a 3/8" drive tool. Ensure the ball detent on the drive tool is engaging with the hole in the socket. If the ball detent is damaged or worn, try a different drive tool.

While the chrome plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust. Clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth. Apply a light coat of lubricant or protectant suitable for tools to prevent further corrosion. Ensure proper dry storage.

Ensure the fastener threads are clean and free of obstructions. Use the chamfered end of the socket to guide it onto the fastener. If resistance is met, back off and re-align to avoid cross-threading.
