Socket set AWTools AW38219BL — compact socket tool, weight 70 g

AWTools AW38219BL — compact socket tool weighing 70 g, made of hardened and tempered CrV steel with a satin-plated finish. This socket is designed for tightening and loosening hexagonal fasteners and is suitable for assembly tasks, light maintenance and small repairs. The rounded angle profile helps remove damaged screws while protecting the screw head from further deformation, and the engraved size marking simplifies identification in compact tool kits.

Advantages

The socket combines a durable CrV steel construction with a satin-plated surface for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. A knurled ring provides extra grip during manual handling while a bearing hole ensures a secure connection to socket wrenches or 1/2" socket extensions. Its compact, lightweight design (70 g) makes it easy to carry in a pocket or portable tool set and the rounded angle profile improves performance on worn fasteners.

Suitable for

• Light automotive repairs and component fastening
• General machinery maintenance and adjustment
• Small assembly and disassembly tasks in workshops
• Hobbyist and DIY projects requiring compact tools

Key specifications

• Material: hardened and tempered chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel
• Finish: satin-plated surface
• Weight: 70 g
• Profile: rounded angle profile for damaged fasteners
• Features: knurled ring for grip, bearing hole for secure mounting
• Fastener type: hexagonal screws and nuts
• Compatibility: designed for socket wrenches and 1/2" socket extensions

How to use

Select the appropriately sized AWTools AW38219BL socket for the hexagonal fastener, align the socket with the fastener head and mount it onto a compatible socket wrench or 1/2" socket extension via the bearing hole. Apply steady torque while keeping the tool aligned with the axis of the fastener to avoid rounding. For manual positioning or initial turning, use the knurled ring to improve grip and control. When dealing with damaged screws, use the rounded angle profile to engage the remaining edges carefully and avoid applying excessive force that could further deform the fastener.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and fastener before use to ensure correct fit. Use appropriate torque values for the application and avoid impact tools unless the socket is rated for such use. Store the socket in a dry place to preserve the satin-plated finish and periodically check for wear or deformation before critical tasks.
