Socket set AWTools AW38126 — hand socket set, weight 300 g

AWTools AW38126 is a compact hand socket set designed for basic fastening and maintenance tasks. Manufactured from hardened and tempered chrome-vanadium (CrV) steel with a satin finish, the set delivers durability in a lightweight package weighing 300 g. The rounded head profile helps with removing damaged fasteners while protecting screw-head geometry, and a knurled ring improves grip. The set is supplied on a plastic hanger with a handle for convenient storage and transport.

Advantages

The CrV steel construction and heat treatment provide wear resistance and a longer service life compared with untreated alloys. Deep socket design increases reach into recessed fasteners, and the satin finish reduces glare and surface corrosion. A bearing hole in each socket ensures a secure connection to a compatible 1/4" drive tool, while the knurled ring supports hand positioning and control during manual use.

• Light workshop and home repairs

How to use

Select the socket matching the nut or bolt size and push it onto a compatible 1/4" drive socket wrench until it engages via the bearing hole. Position the rounded socket over the fastener and turn the wrench clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen. Use the knurled ring to adjust grip and orientation by hand when starting or finishing fasteners without the wrench. Store sockets on the plastic hanger between uses to keep sizes organized and protect the sockets from dirt and moisture.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, confirm compatibility with your 1/4" drive tools and avoid applying torque beyond the capacity of the sockets to prevent deformation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when working on automotive or machinery tasks. Clean and lightly lubricate sockets after heavy use to maintain the satin finish and prevent corrosion.
