Draper Metric Deep Socket Set - 1/2" Sq. Dr. (6 Piece)

The sockets are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, which is hardened, tempered, and chrome plated for strength and durability.

The set includes six deep 6-point metric sockets in sizes: 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, and 18mm.

These sockets have a 1/2" square drive size, making them compatible with standard 1/2" drive tools.

The set comes mounted on a plastic hanging rail, which is designed for easy storage in a toolbox or for hanging in a workshop.

While made from high-quality materials, they are primarily designed for manual use. For heavy-duty impact applications, impact-rated sockets are generally recommended.

'6 point' refers to the internal shape of the socket, which has six points of contact with the fastener head. This design provides a stronger grip and reduces the risk of cam-out or rounding the fastener compared to 12-point sockets.

Yes, the sockets are manufactured and tested generally in accordance with DIN3122 and ISO3315 specifications.

Ensure you are using the correct metric size. Verify the fastener is not damaged or worn. Check that the socket is a 6-point and not a 12-point if the fastener requires a 6-point grip.

Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Use a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar. Ensure the drive square on the socket and the tool are clean and free of debris.

Clean the socket thoroughly with a mild solvent and a non-abrasive pad. Dry completely and apply a light coat of lubricating oil. Store in a dry location.

Ensure the socket is fully engaged. The knurled ring aids grip, but if the fastener head is stripped, the socket may not hold. Use a breaker bar for controlled force if necessary.
