Socket set AWTools AW38238BL — compact socket set, weight 115 g

AWTools AW38238BL — compact socket set designed for mechanical and maintenance tasks where a lightweight, portable solution is required. The set combines hardened and tempered CrV steel construction with a satin-plated finish for corrosion resistance and reliable durability. Each socket features a rounded angle profile to assist with damaged fasteners and protect the screw head from further deformation, while engraved size markings and a knurled ring simplify identification and handling. The long design of the sockets improves access in confined or hard-to-reach areas; the set is compatible with 1/2" socket wrenches and extensions and is intended for unscrewing hexagonal screws and nuts.

Advantages

The AWTools AW38238BL set offers a low weight of 115 g and compact dimensions for easy transport and storage. Hardened CrV steel construction with a satin-plated finish ensures strength and resistance to wear. A rounded angle profile helps remove damaged fasteners without further deforming the screw head, while engraved size markings provide quick identification. The knurled ring improves manual grip and the bearing hole enables a secure connection to compatible tools. The longer socket design increases reach into restricted spaces.

How to use

Select the correct socket size using the engraved markings and attach the socket to a compatible 1/2" drive wrench or extension. Ensure the knurled ring and bearing hole engage securely with the drive to prevent slippage. Position the long socket over the hexagonal screw or nut and apply steady rotational force with the wrench. For damaged or rounded fasteners, the rounded angle profile can help achieve engagement without further deforming the fastener. After use, clean any debris from the socket, dry thoroughly and store the set in a dry place to maintain the satin-plated finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the correct socket size to avoid stripping fasteners. Do not apply impact tools unless the socket and the whole tool chain are rated for impact use. Clean and lightly lubricate contact surfaces periodically to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
