Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special ratchet for this?

No, any 1/2" ratchet will drive it. There is nothing proprietary about the fitting.

Will it survive an impact gun?

It is not intended to. Hand sockets are made for steady turning force, so reach for an impact-rated version if you are working with an impact wrench.

Is M8 the same as the bolt size?

Not necessarily. M8 describes the RIBE drive profile in the head, which is not always the same number as the thread size of the bolt.
