Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" (square drive)
• Number of pieces: 12 (sockets plus holder)
• Socket type: shallow metric sockets (commonly used sizes)
• Material: chrome-finished tool steel for corrosion resistance
• Storage: compact holder/rail for organized transport

How to use

Select the correct socket that matches the fastener size and snap it onto a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet or extension. Place the socket squarely over the nut or bolt head, apply steady torque using the ratchet handle or extension, and turn in the required direction to tighten or loosen. After use, return sockets to their positions on the holder to maintain organization and prevent loss. For work in tight areas, combine the set with low-profile ratchets or flexible extensions designed for 1/4" drives.

Recommendations

Use the correct socket size to avoid rounding fasteners, and avoid applying impact tools to sockets not rated for impact use. Keep the set clean and lightly lubricated where metal contacts metal to prolong service life, and store the kit in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
