Hexagon Metric Drive Socket
Product Category: Tightening technology
Hexagon metric drive sockets strictly adhere to the millimeter (mm) measurement standard, covering common sizes ranging from 4mm to 32mm. They can precisely match the metric hex bolts and nuts commonly found in household and industrial equipment. Whether it's the small-sized screws used in appliance repairs or the large fasteners in construction projects, users can quickly find the appropriate socket size, meeting diverse operational needs.
The inner walls of the sockets are mirror-polished and feature precision tooth patterns, ensuring a contact fit of over 90% with the bolt heads. This design reduces torque loss to less than 5%. When paired with ratchet wrenches or electric screwdrivers, they enable efficient and stable power transmission. Even during high-intensity operations, the sockets resist slipping, effectively preventing wear on the bolt edges and guaranteeing both work quality and efficiency.
The tail interfaces of these sockets are compatible with standard square drive tools such as 1/4" and 3/8", allowing for quick tool changes. Some models are equipped with a magnetic design that securely holds bolts, preventing parts from dropping during overhead work or in confined spaces.
Forged from chrome-vanadium steel or chrome-molybdenum steel, these sockets are quenched to achieve a hardness of HRC52 - 56. Their nickel-plated surfaces provide rust resistance, enabling them to withstand frequent impacts and extrusion. They are suitable for harsh environments with moisture and oil. Typically sold in sets of 8 to 15 pieces, each set comes with a portable storage case, offering a complete range of sizes for easy carrying. These sockets are widely used in scenarios such as home repairs, automotive maintenance, and mechanical assembly.
