Product Information

Full details

This 20-piece metric socket set from Neilsen is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing a comprehensive tool for a variety of mechanical tasks. Its key benefit is the 1/2" drive and wide range of metric sockets (10mm-32mm), complemented by versatile accessories like extension bars and a universal adaptor. A potential caveat is that it is specifically a metric set, so imperial fasteners will require different tools.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism feels stiff or won't engage.

Clean any debris from the ratchet head. Apply a small amount of light lubricating oil to the mechanism and work the direction lever back and forth. Ensure the direction lever is fully in the desired position (clockwise or counter-clockwise).

Socket slips off the drive.

Ensure the socket is fully and correctly seated onto the drive end of the ratchet or extension bar. Check that the socket's drive opening is not damaged or worn.

Extension bar is difficult to attach or remove.

Check for any dirt or debris in the connection points. Ensure you are aligning the drive tangs properly. Avoid forcing the connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This socket set requires no setup beyond selecting the appropriate socket and attaching it to the ratchet or extension bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying force.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  • Clean sockets and ratchet after each use, especially after exposure to grease, oil, or dirt. Use a dry cloth or a soft brush.
  • Store the set in its original case or a dedicated tool organizer to prevent loss and damage.
  • Avoid using excessive force or applying sideways pressure to the sockets or extensions, which can lead to damage.
  • Lubricate the ratchet mechanism occasionally if it becomes stiff, using a light machine oil.
