Product Information

Full details

The Draper 63532 Socket Set is designed for professionals and serious DIYers seeking a durable and organized collection of 1/4" drive sockets for a wide range of mechanical tasks. Its key benefit lies in the high-quality chrome vanadium steel construction and the convenient EVA foam insert tray for efficient tool storage and quick access.

FAQs

What material are the sockets made from?

The sockets are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, which is known for its strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion.

How many teeth does the ratchet have?

The included ratchet has 72 teeth, allowing for a fine working arc of just 5 degrees, ideal for tight spaces.

Can I use this set for heavy-duty automotive work?

This is a 1/4" drive set, which is best suited for lighter-duty tasks. For heavy-duty applications requiring higher torque, a 1/2" or 3/8" drive set is generally recommended.

What are the sizes of the sockets included?

The set includes 13 standard sockets (4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14mm) and 12 deep sockets (4, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14mm).

How should I clean the tools?

Wipe the sockets and ratchet with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the tools are dried thoroughly before storing.

What is the purpose of the knurled ring on the sockets?

The knurled ring provides enhanced grip on the socket itself, making it easier to turn by hand when starting or finishing a fastener, especially in tight or awkward spots.

Does the EVA tray have specific slots for each tool?

Yes, the EVA insert tray is designed with cut-outs to hold each socket and accessory in a specific place, promoting organization and easy identification.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism feels stiff or sticky.

Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the ratchet's internal mechanism. Work the lever back and forth to distribute the oil. Wipe away any excess. If the issue persists, the ratchet may require professional servicing.

Socket does not grip fastener securely.

Ensure the correct size socket is being used and that it is fully seated on the fastener head. Check the socket's internal drive for any debris or damage. Inspect the fastener head for wear or rounding.

Quick-release button on ratchet is difficult to engage/disengage.

Clean the quick-release button and socket aperture with a dry cloth. Ensure no debris is obstructing its movement. A small amount of lubricant may help if the mechanism is stiff.

EVA tray is not fitting properly in the tool chest.

Measure the internal dimensions of your tool chest drawer and compare them with the EVA tray's dimensions. Ensure the tray is placed correctly and not obstructed by other items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The set comes pre-organized in its EVA insert tray. Simply place the tray into your desired tool chest drawer or workspace. Ensure all sockets and accessories are seated correctly in their designated slots before closing the drawer or transporting the tray.

Compatibility: This set is designed to fit within standard 1/4 size drawers of Draper and Draper Expert tool chests. It is also compatible with tool chests from other manufacturers that have similarly sized drawers.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your socket set:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe sockets and the ratchet clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the ratchet mechanism if it begins to feel stiff. Ensure excess oil is wiped away.
  3. Storage: Store the set in its EVA tray to prevent damage and corrosion. Keep in a dry environment.
