FAQs

What is the material of the sockets?

The sockets are made from chrome molybdenum steel for strength and durability.

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes socket sizes from 8mm to 24mm.

What drive size are the sockets?

The sockets have a 1/2" drive size, which is compatible with most impact wrenches.

What is the purpose of the black phosphate finish?

The black phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and enhances the grip of the sockets.

Are these sockets suitable for heavy-duty use?

Yes, these sockets are designed for use with impact wrenches and are suitable for heavy-duty applications within their size range.

How do I store the socket set?

The set comes with a socket rail for organized storage. Store the set in a dry place to prevent rust.

Can I use these sockets with a breaker bar?

While these are impact sockets, they can be used with a breaker bar, but they are designed to be used with an impact wrench.

Troubleshooting

Socket won't fit the fastener.

Double-check the socket size and ensure it matches the fastener size. Inspect the socket and fastener for any damage that might prevent a proper fit.

Socket is slipping and rounding the fastener.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Reduce the torque setting on the impact wrench to prevent over-tightening. If the fastener is severely damaged, consider using an extractor tool.

Impact wrench won't drive the socket.

Check the impact wrench's power source (battery or air supply). Ensure the socket is properly attached to the wrench. Inspect the wrench for any mechanical issues.
