FAQs
What is the primary material of this socket?
The socket is manufactured from high-quality chrome vanadium steel, which is hardened, tempered, and chrome-plated for strength and corrosion resistance.
What does 'Bi-Hexagon' mean?
Bi-Hexagon means the socket has 12 points (two sets of 6 points) instead of the standard 6 points, allowing for engagement on fasteners from more angles, which is useful in tight spaces.
Is this socket compatible with impact wrenches?
Yes, it is designed to handle torque applications and is compatible with 3/8" drive impact wrenches, provided the socket's material and design are suitable for the specific impact application.
What standards does this socket meet?
It is manufactured to meet DIN 3124/ISO 2725 and DIN 3120/ISO 1174 specifications, ensuring high quality and interchangeability.
How do I ensure the socket stays attached to my ratchet?
The socket features a hole for a driving accessory spring-loaded ball bearing, which securely locks it onto compatible drive tools equipped with a ball socket.
What is the benefit of the chamfered end?
The chamfered end helps guide the socket onto the fastener quickly and easily, making it more efficient to use, especially in situations with limited visibility or access.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of the socket?
The socket measures approximately 3.00cm x 2.70cm x 2.70cm and weighs about 0.05kg.
Troubleshooting
Socket won't fit onto fastener
Verify the fastener is indeed 20mm and has a standard hex head. Ensure no debris is present in the socket opening or on the fastener.
Socket slips on fastener
Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Check for wear on the socket's internal hex or the fastener head. Use the correct drive tool for the torque required.
Socket difficult to remove from drive tool
Press the release button or detent on your drive tool. Ensure the drive tool's ball bearing groove is clear of debris.
Corrosion spots appearing
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a light oil. Ensure the socket is thoroughly dried after cleaning and stored in a dry place.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely durable due to hardened, tempered, and chrome-plated chrome vanadium steel.
- Corrosion-resistant finish ensures longevity even in challenging environments.
- Designed for easy and quick engagement with fasteners.
- Meets high international manufacturing standards for reliability.
- Secure holding mechanism prevents socket slippage.
Cons
- Sold loose, requiring users to have compatible drive tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This socket requires a compatible 3/8" square drive tool, such as a ratchet, breaker bar, or impact wrench. Simply push the socket onto the drive tang until it clicks or seats firmly. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque you intend to apply.
Compatibility: The 3/8" square drive ensures compatibility with most standard 3/8" drive tools. The 20mm bi-hexagon opening is designed for fasteners with metric hex heads of the same size.
Care: To maintain its performance and appearance, clean the socket after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying.
