Full details

Its primary benefit is the comprehensive selection of sockets and bits with both 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch drives, all housed in a robust transport case.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of screws can I work with using the bits included?

The set includes bits for Phillips, Pozidriv, Torx, Slotted, Hex, and XZN multi-spline screw types.

Is the TWIN BOX case durable enough for professional use?

Yes, the case is constructed from highly resistant, textured plastic with sturdy metal latches designed for durability in workshop and on-the-go environments.

Can I use this set for both large and small mechanical tasks?

Absolutely. The set features both 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch drive sizes, providing versatility for a wide range of tasks, from fine adjustments to heavy-duty applications.

How many total pieces are in this set?

This is a 100-piece socket set.

What should I do if I lose a specific socket or bit?

While the set is comprehensive, individual pieces may be available for purchase from Facom or specialized tool retailers. However, it's best to keep all components organized within the provided case to prevent loss.

Is this set suitable for basic home repairs?

While highly capable, this is a professional-grade set with many components. For very basic home repairs, a smaller set might suffice. However, it offers excellent long-term value and versatility if you anticipate more involved projects.

Troubleshooting

Socket or bit does not fit securely

Ensure you are using the correct drive size (1/4in or 1/2in) and that the fastener head is compatible with the selected socket or bit. Check for any debris in the tool or fastener.

Ratchet not engaging or slipping

Inspect the ratchet mechanism for debris. If the issue persists, the internal gears may be worn and the ratchet might require servicing or replacement.

Case latches are difficult to open/close

Ensure no tools are obstructing the latches. If stiff, a small amount of lubricant on the hinge points of the latches may help. Avoid forcing the latches, as this can cause damage.

Tool appears rusted or corroded

Clean the affected tool with a rust remover or fine steel wool. Apply a light coat of oil to prevent future corrosion. Ensure tools are stored in a dry environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down tools with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove grease and dirt. For stubborn residue, use a degreaser sparingly and ensure the tool is completely dry afterward. The case can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
  • Storage: Keep all components within the provided TWIN BOX case to prevent loss and protect them from damage and corrosion. Ensure latches are securely fastened for transport.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect sockets and bits for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace any worn or damaged components to ensure safety and optimal performance.
