30 mm 6-point metric socket

The Wheeler-Rex 946 is a 30 mm metric socket with a 1/2 in drive and six-point geometry. It is made from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish and features an extra-deep design for bolt clearance of 5 in. This hand tool is not impact rated and suits general fastening tasks.

Mechanics needing a deep 30 mm socket

Technicians who require a deep-reach 30 mm socket for standard hand-driven applications will find this suitable. It is not designed for impact-wrench use, so operators needing impact-rated sockets should look elsewhere. Buyers who need a different drive size or a shallow socket profile will also need another option.

30 mm socket size

The 30 mm socket size is the critical specification that determines fit on the fastener. Confirm the bolt or nut measures 30 mm before purchase, as no other size is compatible with this socket. The six-point configuration grips the fastener flats, reducing rounding risk compared with twelve-point alternatives.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 30 mm socket engages correctly after attaching it to my 1/2 in drive ratchet?

Fit the socket onto the ratchet, place it over a 30 mm fastener, and turn; the six-point profile should grip the flats securely without rounding.

What comes with the 946 socket and what must I supply separately?

The box contains the single 30 mm, 6-point, extra-deep alloy-steel socket with zinc plating; you provide the 1/2 in drive ratchet or breaker bar.

When should I choose this 30 mm version instead of another size?

Select the 30 mm socket only when the fastener you are removing or installing measures 30 mm across the flats; other sizes will not fit correctly.
