Socket set Gedore R46007138 1/4 inch Metric 455 mm

The Gedore R46007138 1/4 inch Metric socket set provides a compact, organized selection of metric sockets and accessories for workshop and mobile maintenance tasks. Housed in a case with a total width of 455 mm, the set is designed for regular professional and DIY use where a 1/4 inch drive is required. The construction emphasizes durability and practical storage to keep tools accessible and protected during transport and on the job.

Advantages

The set combines a 1/4 inch drive format with a comprehensive range of metric socket sizes, enabling accurate fastening and loosening of bolts and nuts. Components are manufactured to industrial tolerances for reliable fit and reduced rounding of fasteners. The case provides orderly storage, quick identification of sizes and secure retention of parts. Despite its robust build, the set remains portable and convenient for bench work, vehicle service, and field repairs.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and light engine work
• General mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Appliance repair and electrical enclosure work requiring metric sockets
• Mobile service technicians and on-site maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4 inch
• Socket system: metric sizes
• Overall case width: 455 mm
• Weight (set): 13 kg
• Material: chrome vanadium or equivalent tool steel for strength and wear resistance

How to use

Select the socket that matches the nut or bolt head to ensure a snug fit. Attach the chosen socket to the 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension, then engage the fastener and apply torque with steady, controlled force. Use extensions or universal joints from the set for recessed or angled fasteners. Return sockets to their labeled positions in the case after use to maintain organization and protect mating surfaces from damage.

Recommendations

Inspect sockets and drive tools regularly for wear or damage; avoid using sockets on rounded or damaged fasteners to prevent further tool wear. Clean and lightly lubricate moving parts of ratchets periodically and store the set in its case to minimize corrosion. For higher torque requirements, use an appropriately sized drive tool rather than the 1/4 inch drive to avoid overstressing components.
