Usage
This Proxxon special set is designed for tightening and loosening hex socket (Allen) screws using compatible hand tools. Ideal for mechanical, maintenance, and assembly work in automotive, industrial, or workshop settings.
Advantages
- Comprehensive selection of 18 pieces covering hex sizes from 2 mm to 14 mm for broad compatibility.
- Features both 1/4" and 1/2" square drive sockets to suit different torque requirements.
- Manufactured from high-grade chrome vanadium steel for durability and longevity.
- Parts have clear laser markings on each socket for quick size identification during use.
- The sturdy storage box keeps all components organized and protected when not in use.
Specifications
- The set includes sockets with a drive size of either 1/4" (6.3 mm) or 1/2" (12.5 mm), supporting torques up to approximately:
- Up to 25 Nm for the smaller sizes (1/4", sizes: 2–6 mm)
- Up to approximately up to ~210 Nm with the larger sizes (1/2", short: 6–14 mm; long: 5–12 mm)
- Sockets forged from robust chrome vanadium steel ensure resistance against wear under heavy-duty operation.[3][6]
- Covers both short-length (55 mm) and deep/reach sockets (100 mm), suitable for hard-to-reach fasteners.[3]
- The product meets or exceeds DIN/ISO requirements regarding hardness and torque tolerance.[5]
- The driving force is applied to the flanks rather than corners, reducing wear on fasteners.[5]
- Sockets feature thin-wall construction without compromising strength—for confined spaces—and are clearly laser-marked for easy tool selection.[5]
- The protective case ensures safe storage and transport as well as rapid access.
How it works
Select the correct hex socket size based on your fastener. Attach it securely onto a compatible ratchet handle using either a quarter-inch or half-inch square drive connection. Apply torque manually as needed; long-reach sockets facilitate access in deeper assembly points.
