Socket 36 mm, Rockforce RF-56536, 3/4" drive, 6-point

Rockforce 36 mm socket RF-56536 is a 6-point workshop socket with a 3/4" (19.05 mm) square drive, made for fastening and loosening hex fasteners measuring 36 mm across the flats. The 6-point profile engages flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding when applying high torque. It is compatible with standard 3/4" ratchets, torque wrenches and breaker bars used in automotive, industrial and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The 6-point design provides secure contact with hex fasteners, improving torque transfer and minimizing slippage. A 3/4" square drive ensures compatibility with heavy-duty ratchets and torque tools, while a robust construction supports repeated use in demanding workshop conditions. The socket’s size and profile make it suitable for large nuts and bolts commonly found on commercial vehicles, machinery and structural assemblies.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair on trucks and heavy vehicles
• Industrial machinery maintenance and assembly
• Construction and structural bolt fastening
• Workshop use with 3/4" drive ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches

Key specifications

• Socket size: 36 mm across flats
• Drive type: 3/4" (19.05 mm) square drive
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex) profile
• Typical applications: heavy-duty fastening and loosening of large hex fasteners

How to use

Select the 36 mm socket to match the hex fastener across flats, then fit it onto a compatible 3/4" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Ensure the socket fully seats on the fastener before applying torque. For high-torque operations, apply steady force and, when using torque wrenches, set the required torque value according to the fastener specifications. After use, clean debris from the socket and store it in a tool chest or socket rail to prevent corrosion and damage.

Usage recommendations

Use impact-rated sockets and appropriate impact tools for repeated high-impact operations; if this socket is not designated as impact-rated, avoid using it with impact wrenches. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear before high-torque use, and use correct torque settings to prevent fastener or tool damage.
