FAQs
What are the specific sizes included in this set?
The set includes double-ended sockets in the following sizes: 8x10mm, 9x11mm, 12x14mm, 13x15mm, 5/16"x3/8", and 7/16"x1/2". It also includes 75mm and 150mm extension bars.
Can I use these sockets with a standard manual ratchet?
Yes, you can use these sockets with a 1/4" drive manual ratchet. The extension bars also feature a standard 1/4" square drive end.
Are these sockets suitable for high-torque applications?
They are impact quality and suitable for use with impact drivers and power tools. However, due to their thin-walled design, they are best suited for reaching fasteners in tight spaces. For extremely high torque applications that might risk damaging the socket wall, consider using thicker-walled sockets if space allows.
What material are the sockets made from?
The sockets are manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel, which is known for its strength and durability, especially for impact applications.
How do I use the double-ended feature?
Each socket has two different sizes. Simply attach one end to your extension bar or driver. If you need the other size, remove the socket from the extension, flip it over, and reattach it.
What is the purpose of the quick chuck on the extension bars?
The quick chuck allows for very fast and easy attachment and detachment of the socket to the extension bar, streamlining the workflow when using power tools.
Is this set suitable for professional mechanics?
Yes, this set is beneficial for professional mechanics who often encounter restricted access in engine bays and other areas. It complements a larger socket collection by providing specialized access.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit fastener securely.
Ensure you are using the correct size socket for the fastener. Double-check the markings on both ends of the socket. The fastener may be damaged or non-standard.
Extension bar detaches unexpectedly from the power tool.
Ensure the quick chuck mechanism on the extension bar is fully engaged with the tool's chuck. Check the chuck for debris that may be preventing a secure grip.
Socket appears to be slipping or rounding the fastener.
Stop immediately. The socket may be worn, or the wrong size is being used. Ensure the socket is fully seated and the fastener head is not already damaged. Consider using a 6-point socket if available and space permits, or a different tool.
Socket wall cracked or damaged after use.
This indicates the socket was likely subjected to excessive force or used on a fastener beyond its intended application. Discontinue use of the damaged socket to prevent further injury or damage. Consider if a heavy-duty socket or different tool is required for the task.
