Frequently Asked Questions
How does this flip socket compare to standard impact sockets?
This dual-ended design eliminates socket changes between 3/4" and 13/16" sizes, cutting service time significantly on mixed-size jobs. Standard sockets require removal and replacement for each size change, while this flips instantly without disconnecting from the impact gun. The deep profile provides better clearance for recessed lug nuts.
Will this socket work with all 1/2 inch impact guns?
Yes, the standard 1/2" drive fits all impact guns and ratchets with matching drive size. The deep profile accommodates extended anvils and impact extensions without binding, making it compatible with pneumatic, cordless, and corded impact tools. The chromoly steel construction handles high-torque applications reliably.
What vehicles commonly use these lug nut sizes?
The 3/4" opening fits older American cars, trucks, and trailers, while 13/16" is standard on newer domestic models and popular aftermarket wheels. This socket covers Ford F-150s, Chevy Silverados, GM trucks, Dodge Ram vehicles, and most American-made passenger cars. Particularly useful for shops servicing mixed fleets.
Is the 6-point design better than 12-point for lug nuts?
Yes, 6-point sockets grip lug nuts at the flat faces rather than corners, significantly reducing slippage and preventing rounding of fasteners. This is especially important with softer materials, corroded fasteners, or high-torque applications where 12-point sockets might slip. The design distributes force more evenly.
