Product Information
Full details
The GTV 3/4 inch Drive Shallow Hex Socket is designed for automotive technicians, mechanics, and heavy-duty DIY enthusiasts who require high-torque performance for demanding assembly or disassembly tasks. Its primary benefit is its drop-forged, high-strength construction that resists deformation under extreme pressure, providing a secure grip on 28mm hex bolts and nuts. While highly durable, users should note that the shallow profile may limit access to deep-set fasteners compared to deep-socket alternatives.

FAQs
Is this socket compatible with impact wrenches?
While the socket is drop-forged for strength, always ensure you are using impact-rated accessories when pairing with high-output impact wrenches.
What is the primary material used?
The socket is made of high-grade, drop-forged steel for maximum durability and resistance to deformation.
Can I use this with a 1/2-inch drive adapter?
It is not recommended, as using a 1/2-inch adapter will create a bottleneck that significantly reduces your torque capacity and risks damaging the adapter.
What does the 28mm size refer to?
The 28mm refers to the internal hex opening size, which fits 28mm hexagonal bolts and nuts.
How do I clean the socket after heavy use?
Wipe it down with a degreaser or shop towel, then apply a light coating of protective tool oil to protect the finish.
Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose on the fastener
Verify that you are using the correct 28mm size and that the fastener head is not stripped or damaged.
Socket is stuck to the drive anvil
Check the detent ball on your ratchet or extension; apply a small amount of lubricant if the locking mechanism is jammed.
Surface rust appearing on the socket
Scrub the area with a fine-grit abrasive pad and re-coat with a thin layer of machine oil or a rust-preventative spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your GTV socket, always ensure it is fully seated on the fastener head before applying force. This socket is compatible with all standard 3/4-inch drive accessories. After use, wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth to remove oil and debris. Store in a dry tool box or cabinet to maintain the effectiveness of the corrosion-resistant coating. Avoid using cheater pipes or extensions that exceed the tool's rated capacity.
