Westward 53YP77 1/4 in Drive 6-Point Socket

SKU CH-SNTF-Y6CFS

A 1/4 inch drive, 6-point SAE socket made from alloy steel with a chrome finish for standard hand use

  • 1/4" drive fits common ratchets
  • 6-point design grips fastener flats securely
  • Alloy steel construction resists wear
  • Chrome finish protects against corrosion
  • Meets ASME B107.110-2012 standard

1/4-Inch Drive 6-Point Socket

This 1/4-inch drive socket fits SAE fasteners and features a six-point opening for secure grip on bolt heads. It is made from alloy steel with a chrome finish and meets the ASME B107.110-2012 standard. The tool is designed for hand use and is not impact rated.

Thermal Noise And Power Draw

As a non-powered hand tool, this socket generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no electricity during normal operation. Performance depends entirely on the force applied by the user and the condition of the fastener being turned.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous high torque the chrome finish resists corrosion while the alloy steel body maintains its shape. The six-point geometry distributes stress across the fastener flats to reduce rounding during extended use. Bolt clearance is 3.6 mm.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/4 in drive 6-point socket onto my ratchet, and what step do people often miss?

Align the 1/4 in square drive with the ratchet anvil and press until the ball detent locks; the step often missed is verifying the detent is fully seated so the socket cannot pull off under torque.

What maintenance or replacement will the 1/4 in drive 6-point socket need over time?

Inspect the chrome finish and 6-point walls for rounding or corrosion; replace the socket if the 3.6 mm bolt clearance no longer grips fasteners cleanly or if the drive square shows deformation.

What limit appears first when the 1/4 in drive 6-point socket is used continuously under load?

The chrome plating and alloy steel heat treatment set the practical limit; prolonged high torque rounds the 6-point profile before the ASME B 107.110-2012 dimensional tolerances are exceeded.
