FAQs

What is the main advantage of this magnetic socket?

The primary advantage is its built-in spring-loaded magnet, which securely holds fasteners, preventing them from being dropped during use, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

What size fastener does this socket fit?

This socket is specifically designed for 13mm hex (6-point) fasteners.

What is the drive size of this socket?

The drive size is 3/8"" (three-eighths of an inch).

How long is the socket?

The socket has a length of 63mm.

What material is the socket made from?

It is manufactured from durable chrome vanadium steel.

Can I buy a set of these magnetic deep sockets?

Yes, Laser Tools offers a 7-piece set of magnetic deep sockets (Part No. 7783) covering sizes from 7mm to 14mm.

How should I clean the magnetic socket?

Wipe the socket clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not grip the fastener securely.

Ensure the fastener is indeed 13mm. Clean any dirt or oil from both the socket's hex opening and the fastener. Check that the spring-loaded magnet is functioning correctly and not obstructed by debris. The fastener head may be excessively worn, reducing grip.

Magnet does not hold the fastener.

Verify the magnet area is clean and free of metallic particles. Check if the spring mechanism for the magnet is damaged or stuck. For very heavy or oily fasteners, the magnetic force might be insufficient; manual assistance may be needed.

Socket spins on the fastener.

Confirm you are using the correct size (13mm) and that it is a hex (6-point) fastener. The fastener head or the socket's internal hex may be damaged or stripped. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the fastener.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Securely holds fasteners with its magnetic feature, reducing the risk of dropped parts.
  • Deep design provides extended reach for recessed or difficult-to-access fasteners.
  • Durable chrome vanadium construction ensures longevity and resistance to wear.
  • Precise 13mm hex fit for common automotive and mechanical applications.
  • 3/8"" drive compatibility with most standard tools.

Cons

  • This is a single-size socket; a set may be required for varied applications.

  • Requires a 3/8"" drive tool, limiting use with other drive sizes without an adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Laser Magnetic Deep Socket 13mm requires no specific setup. Simply attach it to a compatible 3/8"" drive ratchet, extension, or impact wrench.

Compatibility: This socket is designed for use with 13mm hex fasteners. It is compatible with all standard 3/8"" drive tools. It is also available as part of a 7-piece set (Laser Part No. 7783) covering sizes 7mm to 14mm.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Clean After Use: Wipe the socket clean of grease, dirt, and debris with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the chrome vanadium finish or the magnet.
  3. Inspect Magnet: Periodically check the spring-loaded magnet for damage or reduced holding power. Ensure the magnet area is free from metallic debris that could interfere with its function.
  4. Store Properly: Store the socket in a dry environment, preferably in a tool chest or on a socket rail to prevent loss or damage.
