Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is this socket made from?

The King Dick Deep Socket - 11/16" is manufactured from high-quality 31Cr-V3 chrome vanadium steel for exceptional durability and reliability.

What is the finish on the socket?

It features a polished satin nickel-chrome plated finish, which provides corrosion resistance and a smooth surface.

What standards does this socket meet?

This socket is manufactured to DIN 3124 standards, ensuring adherence to international quality and performance specifications.

Is this socket suitable for impact wrenches?

While made of durable material, this socket is primarily designed for manual ratchets. For impact wrench use, it is recommended to use impact-rated sockets specifically designed for that purpose.

How should I clean and maintain the socket?

Clean the socket after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the main advantage of a deep socket?

Deep sockets are designed to reach fasteners that have long or protruding studs, which standard sockets cannot accommodate.

What does '11/16"' refer to?

The '11/16"' refers to the size of the opening of the socket, which is designed to fit hexagonal fasteners with a measurement of 11/16 inches across their flats.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit fastener properly

Verify that the fastener is indeed 11/16" and that the socket is clean. Ensure no debris is inside the socket or on the fastener head.

Socket appears to be slipping on fastener

Ensure you are using the correct size socket and that it is fully seated on the fastener. Apply force evenly and directly. If the fastener head is damaged, consider using a specialized extraction socket.

Socket shows signs of wear or deformation

Inspect the socket for damage. If deformation or significant wear is present, discontinue use to prevent damage to fasteners and replace the socket.

Rust or corrosion on the socket surface

Clean the socket thoroughly with a soft cloth. For minor surface rust, a light application of a rust remover or fine steel wool can be used, followed by cleaning and drying. Apply a light coating of oil to prevent future rust.
