A drive socket set will be required for installation and removal of fasteners with facets. The set will allow working with components of various shapes and sizes, using the same tool.
Types
The sets are sold in disposable packaging or in plastic cases. In addition to the sockets themselves, the sets may include:
- a tap wrench;
- a ratchet wrench;
- a two-piece socket screwdriver;
- adapters, including hinged ones;
- wrench extension bars.
The more items are offered by the manufacturer, the higher is the price of the set. For example, sets of 8, 15, 45 pieces are available.
Interchangeable devices shown in manufacturers’ catalogues have various sizes of the working part. The most popular are items with the size of 1/2, 1/4, and 3/8 inch. Most often, a set includes drive sockets of various types that are suitable for:
- installation of six- or twelve-point fasteners;
- working with TORX fasteners;
- removing elements with broken facets;
- extraction of fasteners mounted on long studs.
Tips on using drive socket sets
- Only use products according to their intended use, in combination with the devices recommended by the manufacturer.
- Periodically check tools for presence of chips and deformation. If damage is detected, do not use them.
- Make sure that the characteristics of the working part correspond to the parameters of the fastener.
- If the devices come in a case, store the devices in it to prevent corrosion and mechanical damage.
