FAQs

What drive size are the sockets?

The sockets have a 3/8" drive size.

What is the material of the sockets?

The sockets are made from hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel.

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes sockets ranging from 6mm to 21mm.

How do I prevent the sockets from rusting?

Clean and dry the sockets after each use, store them in a dry place, and periodically apply a light coat of oil.

Can I use these sockets with an impact wrench?

While the sockets are durable, they are not specifically designed for impact wrench use. Regular use with impact wrenches may reduce the lifespan of the sockets.

Where can I find replacement sockets?

Replacement sockets are often available from the same retailer or other tool suppliers. Look for Silverline sockets with the same specifications.

How do I clean the sockets?

Wipe the sockets with a clean cloth. For tougher grime, you can use a degreaser. Always dry the sockets thoroughly before storage.

Troubleshooting

Socket slips or rounds off the fastener.

Ensure the correct socket size is used. Apply force directly along the axis of the fastener. If necessary, use a higher-quality socket or a different drive type.

Sockets are difficult to remove from fasteners.

Make sure the socket is properly seated on the fastener. Use a socket with a tighter fit. Apply penetrating oil to the fastener and socket interface to help loosen corrosion or rust.

Corrosion on the sockets.

Clean and lubricate the sockets. Consider replacing severely corroded sockets to ensure performance and safety.
