This Sealey Lock-On Impact Socket Set is designed for professional mechanics and serious DIYers who frequently encounter rounded or damaged fasteners. Its key benefit is the specially machined flutes that grip up to 85% rounded fasteners, preventing further damage and allowing work to continue. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it's best suited for impact use on stubborn fasteners rather than everyday light-duty tasks. This 34-piece set includes standard and deep impact sockets, a universal joint, and an extension bar, all made from hardened and tempered Chrome Vanadium steel with a phosphate finish for durability and corrosion resistance. Colour-coded rings aid in quick socket identification.

The 'Lock-On' feature refers to the specially machined flutes within the socket walls. These flutes are designed to bite into and grip rounded or damaged fastener heads, providing superior holding power compared to standard sockets.
Yes, you can use them with a standard 1/2" drive ratchet for manual operation. However, their primary design and benefit are realized when used with an impact wrench.
The sockets are manufactured from hardened and tempered Chrome Vanadium steel.
The sockets have a phosphate finish. This provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and wear, helping to maintain the tool's performance and appearance over time.
Each socket in the set is equipped with a colour-coded ring. These colours correspond to different size ranges, allowing for quick and easy identification even in low-light conditions.
They are designed to work on hexagonal fasteners. Their unique feature makes them particularly effective on fasteners that are slightly rounded, worn, or damaged, gripping them more securely than traditional sockets.
The set includes a variety of standard and deep 6-point impact sockets, a universal joint, and an extension bar, all organized within a storage case.
Sealey Premier tools, including this socket set, come with a lifetime guarantee when used for their intended purpose.
Ensure the fastener is not excessively rounded. Apply firm, direct pressure onto the fastener head before engaging the tool. If the fastener is severely damaged, this socket set is designed to grip better than standard sockets.
Verify that you are using a 1/2" square drive tool and that the socket is fully seated onto the tool's drive anvil or ratchet handle.
Inspect the socket carefully. If a defect is found, discontinue use and contact Sealey customer support or your retailer, as the product is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
While the phosphate finish offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Clean with a light oil and a soft cloth. Store in a dry environment.
Setup: No complex setup is required. Select the appropriate socket size from the case, attach it to your 1/2" square drive impact wrench or ratchet, ensuring a secure fit. For best results with rounded fasteners, apply firm, consistent pressure.
Compatibility: This set is designed for use with 1/2" square drive impact wrenches and ratchets. The sockets are 6-point, suitable for hexagonal fasteners. Always ensure your tool's drive size matches the socket's drive.
Care: After use, clean sockets with a dry cloth to remove dirt and grease. For long-term storage, ensure the sockets are completely dry. Periodically check the storage case for damage. As Sealey Premier tools come with a lifetime guarantee, register your product to benefit from this warranty.
