Included sizes
24; 26; 27; 28; 30; 32 mm
Check hex size and contact depth
A nominal hex fit does not establish that the cap’s full receiving geometry is suitable.
What this choice changes
Six documented hex sizes for suitable suspension fittings
The SKT-6 uses flat-faced sockets for the supported suspension-fork fittings, rather than the multi-profile body of FCT-1. The six sizes are 24, 26, 27, 28, 30 and 32 mm. Match the actual hex and contact depth; fork branding alone does not establish that a cap accepts the socket.
The 27 mm socket has a taper for some Suntour fork applications. That detail belongs to that socket, not every socket or every Suntour fork. The 3/8-inch square drive needs a separate suitable ratchet or torque wrench and the exact component’s tightening requirement.
Park Tool excludes impact drivers and other power tools. Choose this set for its actual flat-face contacts and stated manual-drive scope, not as a general automotive or powered socket kit. Six sockets are supplied as one set, with no handle or suspension parts included.

Choose for your actual setup
Check hex size and contact depth
A nominal hex fit does not establish that the cap’s full receiving geometry is suitable.
Plan the manual driver
Provide a compatible drive tool and use the actual fork-fitting procedure.
Fit checks & limits
- No impact-driver or other powered use.
- No all-Suntour, all-fork or universal tightening-value claim.
Questions before you choose
Does the tapered 27 mm socket fit every Suntour fork?
No. The maker names some applications; identify the actual fitting and geometry.
Can I use an impact driver?
Park Tool explicitly excludes impact drivers and other power tools.
How does it differ from FCT-1?
SKT-6 supplies flat-faced hex sockets in the listed sizes. FCT-1 is one body with selected cap profiles.
Guides for this choice
Buying guide ↗
Match the Component Contact Before the Drive Handle
Separate the surface that touches the bicycle from the interface that accepts your wrench, then check access and any required retaining accessory.
Buying guide ↗Choose a Torque Range, Indication and Usable Bit Set
Compare measuring range, direction and fastener access before judging a set by bit count or a ratchet-strength figure.
Buying guide ↗Check Specialist Frame-Tool Scope Before Buying
Distinguish diagnosis, permitted correction and material removal, then compare the actual stock cutters, pilots, sockets and taps.
