FAQs

What material are the Sealey AK2196 sockets and bits made from?

The sockets and hex bits are made from durable Chrome Vanadium steel.

How do I clean and maintain the set?

Clean the tools with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store them in the provided case in a dry location to prevent rust.

What is the drive size for this set?

This is a 1/2" drive set, meaning it requires a 1/2" drive tool (like a ratchet or torque wrench) to be used.

Are there different lengths of hex bits included?

Yes, the set includes hex bits in lengths of 55mm, 100mm, 140mm, and 200mm.

What sizes of hex bits are included?

The set includes hex bits in sizes ranging from 5mm to 19mm, depending on the length of the bit.

Is a storage case included with the set?

Yes, the Sealey AK2196 Hex Socket Bit Set is supplied in a storage case for organization and protection.

Can I use these bits with an impact wrench?

While made of durable Chrome Vanadium steel, this set is primarily designed for hand tools. For impact wrench use, specific impact-rated sockets and bits are recommended to prevent damage or failure.

Troubleshooting

Hex bit does not fit securely into the fastener.

Ensure you are using the correct size hex bit for the fastener. Check for any debris or damage in both the bit and the fastener head. Verify that the bit is fully seated.

Difficulty turning a stubborn bolt.

Apply penetrating oil to the fastener and allow it to soak. Ensure the hex bit is fully engaged and try applying steady, even pressure. Use a longer extension bar for increased leverage if space permits. Do not force the tool if it feels like it might strip the fastener head.

Tool feels loose on the 1/2" drive ratchet.

Check that the drive tool's square drive is clean and free of debris. Ensure the socket or bit is fully inserted and that any locking mechanism on your drive tool is engaged.
