FAQs

Is this socket suitable for impact wrenches?

No, the Bahco SB7800SM series sockets, including this 11mm version, are not designed for machine operation or impact wrenches. They are intended for manual use only.

What does 'dynamic drive profile' mean?

The dynamic drive profile refers to a design feature that provides a more efficient and stronger grip on the fastener head, helping to prevent slippage and reduce the risk of rounding the fastener.

What is the material of the socket?

The socket is manufactured from high-performance alloy steel.

What is the drive size of this socket?

This socket features a standard 1/2-inch square drive.

Can I use this socket for both metric and imperial fasteners?

This is a metric socket specifically designed for 11mm fasteners. It is not intended for use with imperial-sized fasteners.

How should I clean and maintain the socket?

Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store in a dry environment and inspect for wear periodically.

Troubleshooting

Socket slips on fastener

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head. Check for any debris in the socket or on the fastener. Verify that the fastener is indeed 11mm and not slightly worn.

Difficulty attaching to ratchet

Confirm that the ratchet has a 1/2-inch square drive. Ensure the socket's drive opening is clear of obstructions.

Socket appears rusted or discolored

Clean the affected area with a soft brush and mild degreaser. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of tool oil. Store in a dry place to prevent recurrence.
