FAQs

What does 'Deep' mean for these sockets?

Deep sockets have a longer barrel than standard sockets, allowing them to reach fasteners that are recessed or set deeper into a component.

What is the benefit of the WallDrive® configuration?

WallDrive® applies torque to the flats of a fastener rather than the corners, providing up to 30% more torque and improving grip on fasteners that are slightly rounded or worn.

Are these sockets suitable for impact wrenches?

Yes, the sockets are hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel, making them suitable for use with impact wrenches, provided the wrench is also 1/2" drive.

How do I identify the socket size quickly?

The sockets are multi-colored, with each color corresponding to a specific metric size, allowing for fast identification.

What is the warranty on this socket set?

The product description mentions a 'LIFETIME GUARANTEE*', which typically covers manufacturing defects. It's advisable to check the specific warranty terms with your retailer.

Can I use these sockets on my imperial-sized bolts?

No, these are metric sockets and are designed for metric fasteners. They will not fit imperial (inch) sized bolts correctly.

What should I do if a socket cracks or breaks?

Under the terms of the lifetime guarantee, a broken or cracked socket due to manufacturing defects should be covered. Contact your point of purchase for a warranty claim.

Troubleshooting

Socket won't fit onto a bolt head

Ensure you are using the correct metric size and that the fastener is indeed a 6-point hex type. Verify the socket is a 1/2" drive compatible tool.

Socket slips on the fastener

Check if the fastener head is damaged or rounded. The WallDrive® feature is designed to help, but severely damaged fasteners may still pose a challenge. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener.

Rust or corrosion on socket surface

Wipe the socket thoroughly with a clean cloth. For light surface rust, a mild abrasive pad may be used carefully. Store in a dry place to prevent future corrosion.

Color coating peeling

Minor chipping might occur with heavy use. Clean the affected area. If the damage compromises the socket's integrity or reveals significant rust, contact Sealey regarding the lifetime guarantee.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe the sockets clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove grease, dirt, and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
