Product Information
Full details
The SPARES2GO 23mm Socket (04-SGZ-856) is designed for professional mechanics and dedicated DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable tool for heavy-duty fastening tasks. Its primary benefit is the 6-point design combined with a 1/2-inch square drive, which ensures maximum contact and torque transfer for stubborn wheel nuts or structural bolts. Please note that this is a standard socket and does not feature a thin-wall profile, which may limit access in extremely tight engine bay clearances.

FAQs
Can this socket be used with an impact wrench?
Yes, the hardened and tempered construction allows it to handle the torque output of standard impact wrenches.
Is this socket metric or imperial?
This is a 23mm metric socket.
Does it include a ratchet handle?
No, this listing is for the socket attachment only.
What does the 6-point design do?
The 6-point design grips the sides of the nut rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding off the fastener.
Is it safe for automotive wheel nuts?
Yes, its design is specifically well-suited for the torque requirements of automotive lug nuts.
Will it rust if left in a garage?
It features a polished finish to resist corrosion, but it should be kept dry and wiped down occasionally to ensure long-term rust protection.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit the bolt head
Verify that the fastener is exactly 23mm and not a fractional imperial size or a damaged bolt with rounded edges.
Socket is slipping off the tool
Ensure the 1/2-inch drive is fully seated and the detent ball on your ratchet or extension is properly engaging with the internal hole of the socket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this socket, simply align the 1/2-inch square female drive with your corresponding ratchet, torque wrench, or impact driver until it clicks into place. It is compatible with all standard 1/2-inch drive tools. For maintenance, wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove grease and debris. If exposed to moisture, apply a light coat of machine oil before storage to prevent surface oxidation. Always store in a dry toolbox or organizer rack to maintain the integrity of the finish.
