FAQs

What type of fasteners is this set best suited for?

This set is best suited for metric fasteners with hexagonal heads ranging from 4mm to 14mm, commonly found in automotive, appliance, and general mechanical applications.

Can I use this set for high-torque applications?

The 1/4in drive is generally intended for lower-torque applications. For very high-torque needs, a set with a larger drive size (e.g., 1/2in or 3/4in) would be more appropriate.

How do I clean and maintain the socket set?

Wipe the sockets and accessories clean with a dry cloth after use. Store them in the provided case to prevent rust and damage. Avoid exposure to moisture and harsh chemicals.

What is the warranty period for this Bahco set?

Bahco typically offers a limited lifetime warranty on hand tools against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty documentation provided with your purchase for exact details.

Does the set include both standard and deep sockets?

This specific set (SBS13MC10.5) includes standard depth Bi-hex sockets. It does not include deep-well sockets.

What does 'Bi-hex' mean for the sockets?

'Bi-hex' refers to sockets with 12 points (double hexagonal), which offer more engagement points compared to standard 6-point sockets, making them easier to position on fasteners, especially in tight spaces.

Troubleshooting

Socket slips off ratchet

Ensure the socket is fully engaged with the drive mechanism. Check for any debris in the socket's drive hole or on the ratchet's ball bearing. If the ratchet's quick-release mechanism is faulty, it may require servicing or replacement.

Ratchet not engaging or slipping

The internal gears of the ratchet may be dirty or worn. Try cleaning the ratchet mechanism. If the issue persists, the ratchet may need professional servicing or replacement.

Difficulty reaching a fastener

Utilize the included wobble extension bar or universal joint to gain better access. If still unable to reach, consider a longer extension bar or a different drive size set if the fastener is too large for the 1/4in drive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The set requires no assembly. Simply open the case and select the appropriate socket and accessory for your task. Ensure sockets are fully seated on the drive of the ratchet, universal joint, or extension bar before applying force.

Compatibility: This set is designed for use with standard 1/4in drive accessories. The sockets are compatible with fasteners requiring metric measurements from 4mm to 14mm. Always ensure the socket size matches the fastener head to prevent damage.

Care: To maintain the tool's performance and longevity, clean sockets and accessories after each use with a dry cloth. Store the set in its original case to protect against dirt, moisture, and damage. Avoid exposing the tools to harsh chemicals or excessive rust-inducing environments. Periodically inspect sockets for wear or damage.
