Draper Expert 1/4"" Sq. Dr. Imperial Deep socket on Metal Rail (11 Piece) - Draper - 16491

The sockets are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, which is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear and corrosion.

A 6-point socket has six internal points that grip the fastener head. This design provides a more secure grip and reduces the risk of rounding off the fastener compared to 12-point sockets, especially under high torque.

Yes, as long as the ratchet has a 1/4"" square drive. The drive mechanism is universal; the socket sizing itself is imperial.

Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store them on the metal rail in a dry place to prevent rust. Avoid harsh chemicals.

The knurled ring provides extra grip, making it easier to manually turn the socket when starting or finishing a fastener, especially in greasy or oily conditions.

> Info needed: Product specifications on impact use. Generally, chrome vanadium sockets are not recommended for high-torque impact use unless specifically stated as impact-rated.

The set includes 11 imperial deep sockets ranging from 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 9/32", 5/16", 11/32", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", to 9/16".

Ensure you are using the correct imperial socket size for the fastener. Check for any debris or damage on both the socket interior and the fastener head. Verify that the fastener is indeed a 6-point hex type.

Confirm that the bolt is recessed and requires a deep socket. Ensure the socket's internal depth is sufficient for the bolt's length protruding beyond the surface.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head. Check that your 1/4"" drive tool is providing adequate leverage. If resistance is high, inspect the fastener threads for damage or seizing.

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild degreaser. Apply a light coat of penetrating oil or rust inhibitor. Store the socket in a dry environment.
