This Laser 20-piece deep impact socket set is designed for automotive professionals and serious DIYers needing to access and torque hard-to-reach fixings. Its key benefit is the extended 78mm depth and Bi-Hex profile, which allows engagement with fasteners that conventional sockets cannot reach, especially in restricted spaces. A potential caveat is that its heavy-duty construction is optimized for impact tools, so manual tool users might find it less suited for delicate tasks.

The primary advantage is the extended 78mm depth, which allows these sockets to reach and engage with fasteners that are recessed or located in difficult-to-access areas where standard sockets cannot fit.
Bi-Hex (12-point) means the socket has twelve internal contact points instead of the usual six. This provides more grip on the fastener, reduces the risk of rounding, and allows for engagement at tighter angles.
Yes, while optimized for impact tools, they can be used with a standard 1/2" drive manual ratchet. However, their heavy-duty construction is designed for higher torque applications.
The black phosphate finish provides protection against corrosion and helps to prevent marking of the socket during heavy use.
The set includes sockets ranging from 10mm to 38mm.
Clean off dirt and debris with a dry cloth after use. Store them in the provided case to protect them and prevent corrosion, avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture.
Yes, they are designed for impact tool use and are suitable for both electric and air-powered impact wrenches with a 1/2" drive.
Ensure you have selected the correct metric size for the fastener. Check if the fastener head is damaged or rounded, which may prevent a secure fit. Verify the socket is fully engaged with the drive of your tool.
Confirm you are using the correct Bi-Hex (12pt) socket. Ensure the socket is properly seated on the fastener and the tool. Reduce torque if working with a manual tool and the fastener is extremely tight. For impact tools, ensure consistent application of power.
Inspect the socket for cracks, excessive wear, or deformation. Heavy-duty use can cause wear over time. If damage is found, discontinue use for safety and replace the socket.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the latch mechanism. If stiff, try gently cleaning the latch area. The latches are designed for a secure hold and may require firm pressure.
Setup: No specific setup is required. Select the appropriate socket size for the fastener you are working with. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the drive of your impact wrench or ratchet before applying torque.
Compatibility: This set is designed for use with any standard 1/2" square drive impact wrench or manual ratchet. It is specifically recommended for use with Laser cordless impact wrench Part No. 8013 or mini air impact wrench Part No. 7681. Ensure your tool's drive size matches the socket's 1/2" drive.
Care: After use, clean any dirt or debris from the sockets. A dry cloth is usually sufficient. The black phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Store sockets in their provided carry case to protect them from damage and keep them organized. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage.
