FAQs

What is CR-MO?

CR-MO stands for Chromium-Molybdenum steel, a high-strength alloy known for its durability and resistance to wear, making it ideal for impact tools.

What is the phosphate finish for?

The phosphate finish provides a protective layer that helps prevent corrosion and wear, extending the life of the socket.

What size drive do these sockets have?

These sockets are designed with a 1/2" drive.

Can I use these sockets with hand tools?

While technically possible, these sockets are designed for impact tools. Using them with hand tools may not provide optimal performance.

What is an EVA tray?

An EVA tray is a foam insert that provides organized storage and protection for the sockets, keeping them secure and preventing them from rolling around.

What if the socket gets stuck on the fastener?

If the socket is stuck, ensure the correct size is used. Apply penetrating oil and try again. If it is still stuck, use a larger impact wrench.

Where are these sockets manufactured?

The product information does not specify the manufacturing location.

Troubleshooting

Socket won't fit the fastener.

Double-check the socket size to ensure it matches the fastener. Refer to the vehicle's manual or use a measuring tool to confirm the correct size.

Socket is slipping during use.

Ensure the socket is fully engaged with the fastener. Check for any damage to the socket or fastener and replace if necessary. Use an impact wrench with the correct torque setting.

Socket is damaged after use.

The socket may have been over-torqued. Ensure the socket is the correct size. If damage is excessive, replace the socket.
