This Draper Deep Socket Set is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable access to recessed fasteners. Its key benefit is the deep socket design combined with durable chrome vanadium steel construction for extended reach and longevity. A potential caveat is its specific 1/2" drive size, requiring a compatible ratchet or breaker bar. This 12-piece set includes essential metric sizes from 10mm to 24mm, all conveniently stored on a metal rail.

Deep sockets provide extended reach, allowing them to access fasteners that have long threaded shafts or are recessed deeper than standard fasteners.
The sockets are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, which is hardened and tempered for strength and durability.
These sockets are designed for a 1/2" square drive.
The set comes mounted on a metal rail for organized storage. Keep the rail and sockets in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
While made from durable chrome vanadium steel, the product description does not specify if they are impact-rated. For heavy impact use, impact-specific sockets are generally recommended.
The set includes the following metric sizes: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, and 24mm.
Wipe them clean with a dry cloth after use to remove grease and dirt. For tougher residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying.
Ensure the socket size is correct for the fastener. Check the fastener head for damage. Clean both the socket interior and fastener head of any grease or debris. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the fastener.
Verify you are using the correct metric size. Check if the bolt head is standard or non-standard. Ensure the socket is a deep socket and not a standard one if the bolt is recessed.
Ensure both the socket and the ratchet have a clean 1/2" drive interface. Check for any obstructions or damage in the drive holes. Ensure the socket is fully pushed onto the ratchet's drive tang.
Clean the socket thoroughly with a soft cloth. Apply a light coat of rust inhibitor or a penetrating oil. Store in a dry environment. This is often cosmetic on satin finishes but should be addressed to prevent material degradation.
Setup: The set comes pre-mounted on a metal socket rail. Simply detach the desired socket(s) from the rail by sliding them off. Ensure your 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar is in good working condition before attaching the socket.
Compatibility: This set is designed for use with any standard 1/2" square drive tool. It is compatible with Draper tools as well as other brands offering 1/2" drive accessories. The sockets are metric and designed for metric fasteners.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
