Product Information

Full details

This Draper Tools 26439 Impact Hexagonal Socket Bit Set is designed for professionals and serious DIYers requiring durable and precise hexagonal bits for impact applications. Its key benefit is the robust construction from chrome molybdenum steel, ensuring longevity and reliability under demanding use. A potential caveat is the specific nature of hexagonal bits, which are suited for certain fastener types and may not replace a general screwdriver bit set.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of fasteners are these bits designed for?

These bits are designed for hexagonal (Allen head) fasteners.

What is the material of the bits?

The bits are forged from chrome molybdenum steel, which is hardened, tempered, and finished with a black phosphate coating.

What drive size do these bits require?

These bits are designed for a 1/2" square drive impact wrench or ratchet.

What is the length of each bit?

Each hexagonal socket bit is 78 mm long.

What is included in the set?

The set includes 8 metric hexagonal bits in sizes 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, and 19mm, all housed in a blow mould case.

Can these bits be used with a standard drill?

While technically possible with an adapter, these bits are specifically designed and optimized for the high torque of impact wrenches. Using them with a standard drill may not provide optimal performance and could risk damage to the bit or tool.

How should I maintain the bits to prevent rust?

After use, wipe the bits clean and dry. Apply a light coating of oil to the metal surface and store them in their case in a dry environment.

Troubleshooting

Bit slips or rounds off fastener head

Ensure you are using the correct size bit for the fastener. Check that the fastener head is not damaged or worn. Use a snug-fitting socket or wrench.

Bit does not seat securely in impact wrench

Verify that you are using a 1/2" square drive tool. Check the retention mechanism (pin and O-ring) on your tool and ensure it is functioning correctly to hold the bit.

Bit appears rusted

Clean the bit thoroughly with a wire brush and apply a rust remover if necessary. Re-apply a light coat of oil for protection. Store in a dry place.

Bit breaks under load

This set is designed for impact use, but extreme force or attempting to loosen severely seized fasteners can cause breakage. Ensure the fastener is not excessively tight or corroded. Consider using a penetrating oil. Replace broken bit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust chrome molybdenum steel construction for durability.
  • Integral hexagonal bits ensure a secure fit.
  • Designed for impact use, handling high torque.
  • Includes a range of common metric hex sizes.
  • Comes with a protective and organized blow mould case.

Cons

  • Specific to hexagonal fasteners; not a universal bit set.
  • May require a separate impact wrench and socket adapter.
  • The black phosphate finish can eventually wear with heavy use.
  • Bit length is fixed at 78mm, which might be too long for some tight spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your 1/2" square drive impact wrench or ratchet is compatible with the bit holder.
  2. Select the appropriate hexagonal bit size for the fastener.
  3. Insert the bit firmly into the socket of the impact wrench or ratchet.
  4. Use the groove and holes on the bit shank to secure it with a retaining pin and O-ring, if applicable, to prevent the bit from falling out during operation.

Compatibility:

  • This set is designed for 1/2" square drive impact tools and ratchets.
  • The bits are metric hexagonal (Allen) type.
  • Compatible with fasteners requiring hex key sizes from 5mm to 19mm.

Care:

  • Clean bits after each use with a dry cloth to remove debris and moisture.
  • Apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, especially after exposure to damp conditions.
  • Store the bits in their provided blow mould case to protect them from damage and corrosion.
  • Avoid using excessive force or impact on fasteners that are seized or damaged, as this can lead to bit breakage.
