Socket 46 mm 1" 12-point Gedore RF-58946

Gedore 46 mm 1" 12-point socket RF-58946 is a heavy-duty tool accessory intended for use with 1-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. The 12-point internal profile enables quicker engagement with hexagonal fasteners and easier positioning in confined spaces. Made to withstand high-torque applications, this 46 mm socket is suitable for larger nuts and bolts commonly found in automotive, heavy machinery and industrial maintenance work.

Advantages

The 12-point design offers multiple contact angles for faster alignment on fastener heads while maintaining a secure fit under load. Constructed from heat-treated alloy steel and finished for corrosion resistance, the socket provides long service life and reliable torque transmission. Its precise internal dimensions reduce rounding of fasteners and the 1-inch drive compatibility ensures use with common heavy-duty ratchets and torque tools.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs involving large wheel nuts and suspension fasteners
• Industrial and plant maintenance where high torque is required
• Heavy equipment assembly and repair
• Mechanical workshops handling large bolts and structural fasteners

Key specifications

• Socket size: 46 mm
• Drive type: 1-inch drive
• Internal profile: 12-point
• Material: heat-treated alloy steel with protective finish
• Intended use: high-torque applications for large nuts and bolts

How to use

Select the 46 mm socket for the matching nut or bolt and securely attach it to a compatible 1-inch drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. For removal, apply steady controlled force to avoid sudden slips; when tightening, follow manufacturer torque specifications if using a torque wrench to achieve correct preload.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket before each use for cracks or damage, and avoid using impact-rated sockets on non-impact sockets. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and apply torque gradually to prevent fastener or tool damage. Store the socket in a dry toolbox to maintain its finish and performance.
