Product Information
Full details
This 11-piece set of Laser Tools Magnetic Socket Inserts is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who want to prevent dropped nuts and bolts during assembly or disassembly. The key benefit is the strong magnetic hold that securely keeps fasteners in place, saving time and frustration. A minor caveat is that the inserts are designed for standard metric sockets and may not fit deeply recessed or specialized sockets without modification.

FAQs
What sizes of sockets does this set convert?
The set includes 11 metric sizes: 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19mm.
Can I use these with impact sockets?
These inserts are designed for standard hand sockets. Using them with impact wrenches is not recommended as it may damage the insert or reduce its magnetic strength.
Will these work on imperial (SAE) sockets?
No, this set is specifically for metric sockets. The sizes and tolerances are designed for metric fasteners and sockets.
How do I clean the magnetic inserts?
Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For oily residues, use a mild degreaser and dry thoroughly to maintain magnetic effectiveness.
Are the inserts permanently attached?
No, the inserts are designed to be easily installed and removed from standard sockets. They rely on a snug fit and magnetic force.
What is the magnetic strength like?
The magnets are strong enough to securely hold common nuts and bolts during operation, preventing drops in most automotive applications.
Can I buy individual inserts if I lose one?
This product is sold as an 11-piece set. Individual replacements may need to be sourced separately depending on availability from the manufacturer or retailers.
Troubleshooting
Insert falls out of socket
Ensure you are using the correct size insert for your socket and that the socket is a standard type. Test fit in different sockets or consider a small amount of non-permanent adhesive if the fit is consistently loose, though this is not recommended for optimal use.
Magnet not holding fasteners securely
Clean both the fastener and the magnetic insert with a degreaser. Ensure the insert is correctly seated in the socket. Very small or non-ferrous fasteners will not be held.
Insert doesn't fit a specific socket
This set is designed for standard metric sockets. Some specialized or non-metric sockets may have slightly different dimensions that prevent a proper fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces the risk of dropping nuts and bolts in difficult-to-access areas.
- Saves time and reduces frustration by keeping fasteners attached to the socket.
- Versatile, converting multiple socket sizes into magnetic versions.
- Clear labeling aids in quick size identification.
- Easy to install and remove from sockets.
Cons
- Limited to metric socket sizes.
- May not fit all brands or specific types of sockets without a snug fit.
- The magnetic strength can be affected by oily or dirty fasteners.
- Requires a separate socket to function.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the magnetic socket inserts, simply push one into the drive end of a compatible standard metric socket. Ensure it fits snugly. The insert is now ready to grip nuts and bolts.
Compatibility: This set is designed to fit standard 6-point (Hex) and 12-point (Bi-Hex) metric sockets. It is recommended to test fit inserts into your existing sockets to ensure a secure, non-rattling fit. Compatibility may vary slightly with non-standard or deep-well sockets.
Care: Keep the magnetic inserts clean and dry. Wipe them with a clean cloth after use, especially if they come into contact with oil or grease, to maintain magnetic strength. Store them in their original packaging or a tool organizer to prevent loss and damage.
