FAQs

What material are the sockets made from?

The sockets are made from high-performance 50BV30 alloy steel with a micro matt finish.

What drive size does this set primarily use?

This set primarily uses a 3/8 inch drive size for its sockets and ratchet.

Does the set include both standard and deep sockets?

Yes, the set includes both 3/8in standard hex sockets and 3/8in deep hex sockets in various metric sizes.

What types of bits are included in the set?

The set includes 1/4in hex bits for Phillips (PH), Pozidriv (PZ), Torx (T), Hex (H), and Slotted (SL) fasteners.

Is the storage case suitable for professional use?

The case is made from high-density polythene (HDPE), offering good durability and protection for storage and workshop use, though its weight might be a consideration for highly mobile professionals.

Are these sockets suitable for impact wrenches?

The sockets are made from high-performance alloy steel but are not specifically designated as impact sockets. For impact wrench use, Bahco recommends using their specialized impact sockets.

What standards does this set conform to?

The sockets conform to ISO 1174 and DIN 3120 standards.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet not engaging or slipping

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive. Check the ratchet mechanism for debris and clean if necessary. If damage is suspected, consult the manufacturer for replacement parts.

Socket appears to be the wrong size

Double-check the size markings on the socket and the fastener. Ensure you are using the correct standard or deep socket if applicable. Verify the set contains the required metric size.

Bit not fitting securely in holder

Ensure you are using a 1/4in hex bit. Check the bit holder for any obstructions. Try a different bit to see if the issue persists with the holder or the specific bit.

Case latch is difficult to open/close

Ensure the case is clean and free of debris around the latches. If stiff, gently flex the latch or apply a small amount of silicone lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a wide variety of common metric hex sockets and bit types.
  • Includes essential accessories like extension bars and a universal joint for increased reach and versatility.
  • The quick-release ratchet simplifies socket changes during use.
  • Constructed from high-performance alloy steel for durability.
  • Comes in a sturdy HDPE case for organized storage.

Cons

  • The case, while durable, may be heavy for frequent transport.
  • The set focuses on metric sizes, potentially limiting use for imperial fasteners.
  • No specialized sockets (e.g., impact or E-Torx) are included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This socket set requires no complex setup. Simply select the appropriate socket or bit, attach it to the 3/8in drive ratchet or spinner handle, and use as needed.

Compatibility:

  • The primary drive size for sockets and accessories in this set is 3/8 inch.
  • The included bit holder allows 1/4in hex bits to be used with the 3/8in drive system. Ensure any third-party sockets or accessories are also 3/8in drive.
  • The set contains metric sockets, conforming to ISO 1174 and DIN 3120 standards.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe down sockets and bits with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store all components securely in the provided HDPE case. Ensure sockets and bits are fully seated in their designated slots to prevent damage or loss.
  • Rust Prevention: While the micro matt finish offers some protection, it's advisable to keep the set in a dry environment to prevent potential rust over extended periods.
