Product Information
Full details
This 36-piece 3/8 inch socket set from Högert Technik is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics seeking a durable and precise toolset. Its key benefit lies in the high-quality Chrome Vanadium Steel construction and a 72-tooth ratchet for fine adjustments, offering reliability for a wide range of tasks. A potential caveat is that the 3/8-inch drive size may not be suitable for very heavy-duty applications requiring larger sockets.

FAQs
What material are the sockets and bits made from?
The sockets and accessories are made from durable Chrome Vanadium Steel, and the screwdriver bits are made from high-strength S2 Steel.
What is the advantage of the 72-tooth ratchet?
The 72-tooth ratchet allows for a minimal swing arc of just 5 degrees, enabling you to work in tight spaces where a standard ratchet would not fit.
Is this set suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?
While durable, the 3/8-inch drive size is generally best suited for automotive repair and DIY tasks. For very heavy-duty industrial applications, a 1/2-inch drive set might be more appropriate.
How should I clean the tools?
Wipe the tools with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing them in the case to prevent rust.
What type of case does it come with?
The set includes a robust steel case with a shaped foam lining designed to keep each tool securely in place and protected.
Can I add more tools to this case?
The foam lining is specifically shaped for the 36 pieces included. Adding extra tools may compromise the organization and protection of the existing set.
What is the warranty on this product?
Please refer to the Högert Technik warranty information specific to your region or retailer for details on warranty coverage.
Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism feels stiff or does not engage smoothly.
Clean any debris from the ratchet head. If necessary, apply a small amount of light machine oil to the mechanism and work the lever back and forth.
Socket or bit slips off the fastener.
Ensure the correct size socket or bit is being used and that it is fully seated onto the fastener head. Check for wear on the socket's internal drive or the bit tip.
Case latch is difficult to open or close.
Check for obstructions around the latch. Gently clean the latch area. Avoid forcing the latch, as this could cause damage.

Care: To maintain the longevity of your Högert Technik socket set:
