Product Information

Full details

This Laser 1749 9-piece deep impact socket set is designed for automotive professionals and DIYers needing to reach fasteners in tight or deep spaces, offering a durable solution for high-torque applications. Its 1/2" drive and single hex (6pt) profile ensure secure engagement with common fasteners. The primary limitation is its focus on metric sizes, which may not cover all imperial fastener needs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of deep sockets?

Deep sockets provide extended reach, allowing access to fasteners that are recessed or located in tight spaces where standard sockets cannot fit.

What does 'single hex (6pt)' mean?

It refers to the socket having six internal points designed to grip a 6-sided (hexagonal) fastener. This offers superior grip and torque compared to 12-point sockets, especially on stubborn fasteners.

Are these sockets suitable for hand ratchets as well as impact wrenches?

Yes, the 1/2" drive size makes them compatible with both impact wrenches and standard manual ratchets or breaker bars.

What is the size range of this set?

This 9-piece set covers metric sizes from 10mm to 24mm.

Can I use these sockets on imperial (SAE) fasteners?

While a 10mm socket might loosely fit a 3/8" imperial fastener, it is not recommended. Using the wrong size can damage both the socket and the fastener. This set is designed specifically for metric fasteners.

How should I maintain these sockets?

Keep them clean and dry. Wipe them down after use to remove debris and prevent rust, storing them in a tool organizer.

Are these sockets chrome vanadium steel?

The product description does not specify the exact material composition beyond being engineered for impact tool usage, implying a high-strength steel alloy.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit fastener securely

Ensure you are using the correct metric size and that the fastener is indeed a 6-point type. Verify the fastener is not damaged or excessively worn.

Socket slips on the fastener

Confirm you are using the correct size. Ensure the socket's 6-point profile is fully engaged with the fastener head. Check for any debris inside the socket.

Socket appears damaged after impact use

Inspect the socket for cracks or significant deformation. While impact rated, extreme misuse or defects can occur. Contact the retailer for warranty information if damage is suspected.

Difficulty reaching a very deep fastener

Confirm the socket is deep enough for the specific application. For extreme depths, consider extension bars designed for impact use, ensuring compatibility with the socket and drive tool.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This socket set requires no setup beyond attaching the desired socket to your 1/2" drive impact wrench, ratchet, or breaker bar.

Compatibility:

  • Drive Size: Compatible with all 1/2" square drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and manual ratchets.
  • Fastener Type: Optimized for single hex (6-point) metric fasteners within the specified size range (10mm-24mm).

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe sockets clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store sockets in a clean, dry environment. A socket organizer or tray is recommended to prevent loss and keep them readily accessible.
  • Lubrication: While not strictly necessary for basic use, a light application of oil can help prevent rust on the sockets if stored in humid conditions.
