Product Information

Full details

The KS Tools 916.4050 TRIPLEplus Go Through Socket Set is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need a versatile and durable tool for tackling a wide range of fasteners. Its key benefit lies in the 'TRIPLEplus' profile, which offers superior torque transfer and compatibility with various fastener types, including hexagonal, 12-point, E-TORX, and even some imperial sizes. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of the 'Go-Through' design, which may require a slight adjustment for users accustomed to traditional sockets in very confined spaces.

FAQs

What types of fasteners can the 'TRIPLEplus' sockets engage with?

The 'TRIPLEplus' profile is designed to work with hexagonal, 12-point, and E-TORX fasteners. It also accommodates many standard nuts and bolts and some imperial sizes.

What is the advantage of the 'Go-Through' socket design?

The 'Go-Through' design allows long threaded bolts or studs to pass completely through the socket and ratchet. This ensures full engagement and is particularly useful when working with fasteners that extend beyond the socket depth.

What is the material of the sockets?

The sockets are made from mirror-polished Chrome vanadium steel, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

Does this set include a ratchet?

Yes, the set includes a reversible ratchet with a 19 mm drive, along with adaptors to connect to standard 3/8" and 1/2" drive tools.

What is the size range of the sockets included?

The set includes 13 sockets ranging from 10 mm to 24 mm.

Are these sockets suitable for impact wrenches?

This set is made from Chrome vanadium steel and is designed for manual use with the included ratchet or standard drive tools. It is not specified as impact-rated.

How should I clean and maintain the socket set?

Wipe the sockets clean with a dry cloth after use to remove dirt and grease. Store the set in its provided case in a dry environment to prevent rust and damage.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit fastener securely.

Verify you are using the correct socket size and that the fastener head is compatible with the 'TRIPLEplus' profile (hexagonal, 12-point, E-TORX).

Ratchet is difficult to turn or engages poorly.

Check the ratchet mechanism for debris. Ensure the direction switch is fully engaged. Clean and lubricate the ratchet if necessary following manufacturer guidelines.

Adaptor does not connect firmly to ratchet.

Ensure the adaptor's drive end is fully seated into the drive tool and that both the adaptor and the drive tool are clean and free of obstructions.

Socket feels loose on a long bolt.

Confirm the bolt is passing through the socket and the extension correctly. The 'Go-Through' design is intended to accommodate long fasteners; ensure no binding is occurring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile 'TRIPLEplus' profile fits multiple fastener types.
  • Go-through design is ideal for long bolts and threaded rods.
  • Made from high-quality, durable Chrome vanadium steel.
  • Includes a comprehensive range of sockets and accessories.
  • Ensures excellent torque transfer for efficient work.

Cons

  • The 'Go-Through' design might not be suitable for extremely shallow bolt heads.
  • May require a specific drive size for the included adaptors.
  • Imperial size compatibility is limited to 'many' sizes, not exhaustive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The set is ready for immediate use. Simply select the appropriate socket for your fastener, attach it to the reversible ratchet or an adaptor and extension, and engage with the bolt or nut. Ensure the ratchet is set to the desired direction (tighten or loosen).

Compatibility: The sockets are designed for metric fasteners from 10 mm to 24 mm. The 'TRIPLEplus' profile is compatible with hexagonal, 12-point, and E-TORX fasteners. The included 19 mm x 3/8" and 19 mm x 1/2" adaptors allow these sockets to be used with standard 3/8" and 1/2" drive ratchets and extensions.

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of the set:

  1. Clean sockets after use with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris.
  2. Store the set in its durable plastic case to prevent loss and damage.
  3. Avoid exposing the tools to corrosive environments.
  4. Periodically check the ratchet mechanism for smooth operation.
