FAQs

What sizes are included in this set?

The set includes 8 deep sockets in the following metric sizes: 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, and 24mm.

What is the drive size of these sockets?

All sockets in this set have a 1/2" drive size.

Are these sockets suitable for impact wrenches?

While Teng Tools offers impact-rated sockets, this particular set is typically intended for hand tools. For use with impact wrenches, it is recommended to use sockets specifically marked as impact-rated to prevent premature wear or failure.

How should I store this set?

The sockets come mounted on a clip rail, which is designed for easy storage in toolboxes or on pegboards. This keeps them organized and readily accessible.

What is the difference between 6-point and 12-point sockets?

A 6-point socket has six internal contact points that grip the flats of a fastener, offering a more secure fit and reducing the risk of rounding the fastener head. A 12-point socket has twelve points, offering easier engagement but potentially less grip strength on stubborn fasteners.

Can I use these sockets for automotive repair?

Yes, the sizes included and the 1/2" drive are common for many automotive maintenance and repair tasks.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit securely onto fastener.

Ensure you are using the correct size socket for the fastener. Verify that the fastener is not stripped or damaged, which could prevent proper engagement. Check that the socket is a 6-point and the fastener head is compatible.

Socket feels loose on the drive tool.

Confirm that both the socket and the drive tool (e.g., ratchet) are indeed 1/2" drive. Check the drive tool's socket retention mechanism (e.g., ball detent) to ensure it is functioning correctly.

Socket is difficult to remove from the drive tool.

Ensure the drive tool's retention ball is being depressed or that the socket is properly seated. If stuck, try gently wiggling the socket while pulling it off. Avoid excessive force that could damage either part.
