Socket Wrench AWTools AW38480BL — 1.9 kg weight, hand tool

The AWTools AW38480BL socket wrench is a hand tool weighing 1.9 kg designed for fastening and loosening nuts and bolts in mechanical and maintenance tasks. Made of hardened and tempered CrV steel with a satin finish, this socket wrench features a long arm for increased leverage and a knurled handle for a secure grip. Its spring-loaded ball-bearing mechanism locks sockets in position, and the design is suitable for manual socket driving in restricted working spaces.

Advantages

The CrV steel construction with heat treatment provides durability and resistance to wear while the satin finish reduces glare and surface corrosion. The long arm delivers higher torque and improved power transmission compared to standard ratchets, making it effective for stubborn fasteners. The spring-loaded ball-bearing design secures sockets reliably during operation, and the knurled handle improves control and reduces slippage during repetitive use.

Suitable for

• Workshop and garage maintenance
• On-site mechanical repairs
• Automotive fastening and loosening tasks
• Applications in restricted or confined working spaces
• Repetitive manual fastening operations

Key specifications

• Weight: 1.9 kg
• Material: hardened and tempered chrome-vanadium (CrV) steel
• Surface finish: satin
• Design: long-arm socket wrench for greater leverage
• Locking mechanism: spring-loaded ball-bearing socket retention
• Handle: knurled for improved grip
• Intended use: manual driving of sockets in restricted spaces

How to use

Select a socket of the appropriate size for the fastener and attach it to the square drive until the ball-bearing locks it in place. Position the wrench on the nut or bolt and apply steady force on the long arm to achieve the required torque; use controlled movements to avoid sudden slips. For reversing direction, disengage the socket, reposition as needed and reattach. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a dry place to maintain the satin finish and prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when working with hand tools. Avoid applying impact force or using the wrench with a hammer or exterior cheater bars beyond its rated manual use. Periodically inspect the ball-bearing retention and handle condition for wear; apply light oil to moving parts if necessary to preserve reliable locking and smooth operation.
