Toolzone 11PC 3/8" Twist Socket Set

A twist socket has a reverse spiral flute design on the inside. This design bites into the material of a damaged or rounded fastener as you turn it counter-clockwise, allowing for removal where a standard socket would slip.

These sockets are specifically designed for the *removal* of damaged or rounded fasteners. While they might technically fit to tighten, their design prioritizes grip for removal and is not intended for precise torque application during tightening.

The set includes 10 sockets in the following metric sizes: 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, and 19mm.

The sockets are constructed from high-strength Chrome Molybdenum steel, known for its durability and resistance to impact and wear.

They feature a Black Bronzed Surface Finish, which provides enhanced grip and helps to prevent corrosion.

Yes, these sockets are designed to be compatible with impact guns, air ratchets, breaker bars, and reversible ratchets.

After use, clean the sockets with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rust. Periodically inspect for wear.

Ensure you are using the correct size socket. For severely damaged fasteners, try a slightly larger size twist socket as the flutes may need more material to grip. Apply steady, firm pressure and avoid jerky movements.

This may indicate excessive force is being applied, or the fastener is not properly seated. Ensure the socket is fully engaged. If the socket continues to deform, cease use and inspect for damage. Consider using a more powerful tool if the fastener is extremely seized.

This is sometimes expected due to the grip design. Carefully work the socket off using a gentle twisting motion with your hand or a wrench on the drive. Avoid excessive force that could damage the socket or fastener.
