Product Information
Full details
The Aim Tools 36-piece combination spanner and socket set is designed for automotive enthusiasts, DIY mechanics, and hobbyists who require a versatile collection of reliable hand tools for general fastening tasks. Its primary benefit is the comprehensive range of sizes included in one organized kit, providing essential coverage for most standard bolt and nut applications; however, users should note that because it is constructed from hardened carbon steel, it is best suited for standard maintenance rather than high-torque industrial applications.

FAQs
Is this set suitable for heavy-duty industrial work?
This set is designed for standard automotive repairs and DIY projects. It is not recommended for heavy-duty industrial environments that require constant, high-torque impact use.
What is the material composition of these tools?
These tools are crafted from high-quality, tempered, and hardened carbon steel.
Are the sockets Metric or SAE?
This set contains metric-sized components ranging from 8mm to 32mm.
Does the set include an extension bar?
The set includes a 250mm T-handle sliding bar and a universal joint, but no separate extension bar is listed.
Can I use these tools with an impact gun?
These are intended for manual hand-tool use. Using them with high-torque impact drivers may damage the tools or the fasteners.
What should I do if a socket gets stuck on the ratchet?
Ensure the quick-release button on the ratchet head is fully depressed, or tap the side of the socket gently to release any debris in the locking ball mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism feels sticky or stiff.
Clean the ratchet head with a degreaser and apply a small amount of light machine oil to the internal gear mechanism.
Socket fits loosely on a bolt head.
Verify the bolt size and ensure you are not accidentally using an Imperial socket on a Metric bolt, or vice versa.
Tools are starting to show signs of light oxidation.
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to remove surface rust and immediately coat the tool in a thin layer of machine oil for protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep this set in optimal condition, inspect your workspace to ensure you are using the correct size socket to prevent rounding the edges of the bolt head. The set is fully compatible with any standard 1/2-inch drive extensions or torque wrenches. For care and maintenance, wipe each tool with a light machine oil after use to prevent corrosion, especially if working in outdoor or damp conditions. Store the set inside the provided PVC case in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture accumulation within the molded slots.
