This 1/2" Sq Drive 16-piece deep impact socket set from Sealey is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need to tackle stubborn or rounded fasteners. Its primary benefit is the Lock-On feature, which grips up to 85% rounded fasteners, minimizing frustration and potential damage. A minor caveat is the set's weight at 4.2kg, making it less portable for field work. Key features include hardened and tempered Chrome Vanadium steel construction, a corrosion-resistant phosphate finish, color-coded rings for quick identification, and a comprehensive range of 16 deep sockets.

The 'Lock-On' feature has specially machined flutes within the socket walls that grip onto damaged or rounded fastener heads, providing better engagement than standard sockets which rely solely on the hexagonal shape.
Yes, they can be used with a 1/2" Sq Drive ratchet or breaker bar. However, they are designed for impact use, and caution should be exercised with manual tools to avoid damaging the fastener or the socket.
The sockets are manufactured from hardened and tempered Chrome Vanadium steel.
The set features color-coded rings on each socket for fast identification. Each socket also has its size stamped directly onto it.
The product is supplied with a Lifetime Guarantee*. Please refer to the warranty documentation provided with the product for specific terms and conditions.
The nett weight of the 16-piece set is 4.2kg.
The Lock-On feature is designed to work on up to 85% rounded fasteners, offering a grip when standard sockets might fail.
Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener. The Lock-On feature is most effective on fasteners that are up to 85% rounded. For severely damaged fasteners, additional methods might be necessary.
Verify that you are using the correct size socket for the fastener. Ensure the socket is properly engaged with the drive of your tool and that the tool is compatible with impact use.
Clean the sockets thoroughly with a dry cloth. While the phosphate finish offers protection, store the sockets in a dry environment. If corrosion is significant, contact Sealey support regarding the Lifetime Guarantee*.
Use the size markings stamped on the socket for identification. The color-coding is an aid, but the stamped sizes are the primary identifiers.
Setup: This socket set requires a compatible 1/2" Sq Drive tool, such as an impact wrench or a breaker bar. Ensure the tool's drive tang engages fully with the socket's drive hole. The color-coded rings help in quickly selecting the required socket size from the provided storage case.
Compatibility: The 1/2" Sq Drive is a widely adopted standard in automotive and industrial settings. These sockets are designed for use with impact tools but can also be used with manual ratchets or breaker bars. However, care should be taken when using manual tools to avoid over-torquing or damaging fasteners, especially with the Lock-On feature.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of the sockets, clean them after each use with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris. The phosphate finish offers corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided. Store the sockets in the provided case to protect them from damage and loss. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage. As per the product information, a Lifetime Guarantee* is provided, so refer to the warranty documentation for any specific care requirements to maintain its validity.
