FAQs

What is the material of the sockets?

The sockets are made from Chrome Vanadium steel.

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes sockets in sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 17mm.

What is the drive size?

The drive size is 1/2".

What is the length of the sockets?

The length of the sockets is 140mm.

Can I use these sockets with an impact wrench?

These sockets are generally suitable, but it's important to monitor the torque and avoid over-torquing, which can damage the sockets or the fasteners. Consider using impact-rated sockets for heavy-duty impact wrench use.

How should I store the sockets?

Store the sockets in a dry place, ideally in a toolbox or a socket organizer to protect them from moisture and damage.

What type of projects are these sockets best suited for?

These sockets are best suited for automotive repair, mechanical work, and DIY projects where hex-head bolts are used, and access is limited.

What should I do if a socket breaks?

If a socket breaks, discontinue use immediately. Inspect the fastener and the surrounding area for any damage. Replace the broken socket with a new one.

Troubleshooting

Socket won't fit on the fastener.

Ensure you are using the correct size socket for the fastener. Check the socket size markings and compare them to the fastener's size.

Socket slips or strips the fastener.

Make sure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force. Avoid applying excessive torque. Consider using a torque wrench.

Rust or corrosion on the sockets.

Clean the sockets with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil to prevent further corrosion. Store the sockets in a dry place.
