Socket set AWTools AW38607BL — compact socket kit, weight 90 g

AWTools AW38607BL is a compact socket set designed for basic fastening and maintenance tasks. The kit is lightweight (90 g) and intended for small repairs, assembly and general DIY use where portability and minimal weight are required. Sockets are manufactured from hardened and tempered chromium-molybdenum (CrMo) steel with a black oxide finish, and feature laser-stamped size markings for easy identification.

Advantages

The rounded angle profile reduces the risk of further damaging rounded or worn screw heads and helps preserve the original shape of hexagonal fasteners. CrMo steel construction and heat treatment provide increased strength and resistance to wear, while the black oxide finish offers moderate corrosion protection. Laser marking of sizes ensures fast selection of the correct socket during work. The set is compatible with pneumatic, electric and cordless impact wrenches, making it suitable for different workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Small automotive repairs and component servicing
• Machinery and equipment maintenance
• General mechanical work and assembly tasks
• DIY projects and light household repairs
• Use with pneumatic, electric or cordless impact wrenches

Key specifications

• Material: hardened and tempered chromium-molybdenum (CrMo) steel
• Surface finish: black oxide
• Weight: 90 g (total kit weight)
• Socket profile: rounded angle profile for damaged fasteners
• Identification: laser-stamped size markings
• Compatibility: designed for use with pneumatic, electric and cordless impact wrenches

How to use

Select the socket with the laser-stamped size that matches the hexagonal screw or nut. Fit the socket to the drive of an appropriate wrench—pneumatic, electric or cordless impact—in accordance with the drive size and tool manufacturer recommendations. Position the socket squarely on the fastener and operate the wrench at low speed when initially engaging a damaged or seized head to ensure correct seating. Increase torque as required, maintaining steady alignment to avoid slippage. After use, clean off dirt and debris and store the sockets in a dry place to preserve the black oxide finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the rounded-angle sockets specifically for damaged or rounded fasteners to minimize further deformation. Verify compatibility between the socket drive and the impact wrench before applying high torque. Regularly inspect sockets for cracks or excessive wear and replace if any damage is found. For prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive environments, consider additional corrosion protection and store the kit dry.
