Impact Socket Set - Makita - 9 Piece

The primary advantage is the inclusion of a 1/4" Hex Adapter, which allows you to seamlessly use the impact-rated sockets with common 1/4" hex shank impact drivers and wrenches.

The set includes metric socket sizes: 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm, and 18mm, plus the 1/4" Hex Adapter.

While the sockets have a 1/2" drive, they are specifically designed and hardened for impact tool use. Using them with a standard ratchet might be possible, but it's not their intended application and could lead to premature wear on the socket or ratchet.

Yes, the set is designed for use with both. The included 1/4" Hex Adapter is key for impact drivers, while the 1/2" drive sockets are suited for impact wrenches.

The set comes in a study, durable socket rack, which is designed for organized storage and easy access to each socket.

The product description does not specify the exact material composition, but they are impact-rated, indicating they are made from high-strength steel suitable for high-torque applications.

Yes, the included metric sizes like 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, and 17mm are very common on many vehicles, making this set useful for various automotive repair tasks involving impact tools.

Ensure the socket's internal drive is clear of debris and fully seated onto the 1/4" Hex Adapter. Check for any visible damage to the socket's drive or the adapter.

Confirm that the impact driver's chuck is designed to accept a 1/4" hex shank. Ensure the chuck is fully open before inserting the adapter and that it locks securely.

Inspect the socket for cracks, excessive rounding of the drive, or deformation. Replace the damaged socket to avoid stripping fasteners or damaging your tool.

Ensure you are using the correct socket size. Apply penetrating oil to the bolt threads and allow it to soak. Use a longer extension or a breaker bar (if not using an impact tool) for additional leverage, being mindful of the tool's torque limits.
