Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this set with an impact drill?

No, this set is designed for manual use only. Using these sockets with an impact driver may damage the tools.

Are these sockets metric or imperial?

The set includes both, featuring 14 metric sockets (4.0-14.0mm) and 14 imperial sockets (5/32-9/16 inch).

What is the primary drive size for this set?

This set contains both 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch square drive components.

Is this set suitable for professional mechanic work?

No, this set is specifically intended for home automotive maintenance and general DIY tasks.

How should I clean the sockets?

Wipe them with a clean, dry cloth to remove oil. Do not submerge them in harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism feels stuck

Ensure the directional switch is fully clicked into place. If stiff, apply a drop of light machine oil to the mechanism.

Socket keeps slipping off the bolt

Verify that you are using the correct metric or imperial size. Using an imperial socket on a metric bolt—or vice versa—can lead to slippage and damage.

Difficulty reaching a fastener

Attach the included 75mm extension bar to the ratchet to provide the extra clearance needed for recessed bolts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your socket set remains in optimal condition, wipe down the tools with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove grease and debris. Store the tools in the provided case to prevent moisture buildup and rust. The set is compatible with standard 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch drive accessories. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying pressure to prevent rounding the bolt heads. Avoid using these sockets with impact drivers, as they are designed for manual hand-tool application only.
