FAQs
What is CR-MO steel?
CR-MO (Chrome Molybdenum) steel is a high-strength alloy steel known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear, making it ideal for impact tools.
What does the black phosphating finish do?
The black phosphating finish provides corrosion resistance, protecting the sockets from rust and extending their lifespan.
Are these sockets suitable for use with hand tools?
While these sockets can be used with hand tools, they are specifically designed for use with impact wrenches. Using them with hand tools is possible, but may not be as efficient.
What sizes are included in the set?
The set includes 1/2" drive sockets in sizes 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, and 24mm.
How do I store the sockets?
The sockets come in a plastic case for convenient and organized storage. Always return the sockets to the case after use.
What is the swivel feature?
The swivel feature allows the socket head to pivot, providing access to fasteners in tight or difficult-to-reach spaces.
Can I use these sockets on my car?
Yes, these sockets are suitable for many automotive applications. They are commonly used for removing lug nuts, working on engine components, and other tasks.
Troubleshooting
Socket is difficult to remove from fastener.
Ensure the fastener is not corroded or damaged. Use penetrating oil if needed. Check that the socket is the correct size.
Sockets are slipping or rounding off fasteners.
Make sure you are using the correct socket size and type (impact). Avoid over-torquing the fasteners. If the fastener is severely damaged, consider using a different removal method.
Swivel head feels stiff or difficult to rotate.
Clean the swivel mechanism and apply a small amount of lubricant. Avoid using excessive force.
