Socket set AWTools AW38690BL, 13-piece, total weight 3.2 kg

AWTools AW38690BL is a 13-piece socket set designed for fastening and maintenance tasks in automotive, machinery and general workshop environments. The set contains a selection of sockets and accessories packed in a single plastic case and has a total weight of 3.2 kg. Components are made of hardened CrMo steel with a black oxide finish, feature long profiles for improved reach, and have high-visibility stamped size markings for quick identification.

Advantages

The sockets are manufactured from chrome-molybdenum (CrMo) steel with a black oxide coating, which increases durability and provides corrosion resistance. A rounded head profile reduces the risk of rounding off damaged fasteners and helps preserve screw and nut heads. Long socket design improves accessibility in tight or recessed areas, and visible stamped size markings speed up tool selection. The set is compatible with pneumatic, electric and cordless impact wrenches, and the included plastic case keeps the kit organised and transportable.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs and routine vehicle maintenance
• Machinery and equipment maintenance in workshops and factories
• General mechanical work where a compact set of sockets is needed
• Tasks requiring access to recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners

How to use

Select the correctly sized socket by reading the stamped marking and attach it securely to the drive of your ratchet or impact wrench. For impact use, ensure the socket is compatible with your impact tool and secure the retaining mechanism if present. Place the socket over the fastener squarely to avoid slipping, then apply torque in the required direction. Use long sockets to reach recessed nuts and bolts, and work steadily to avoid sudden shocks. After use, clean any debris or grease and return components to the plastic case for organised storage.

Usage recommendations

Use impact-rated sockets when working with impact wrenches and avoid using damaged sockets. Inspect sockets regularly for wear or deformation and replace if the rounded profile or drive interface shows excessive wear. Store the kit in the supplied plastic case to protect the tools from corrosion and to keep sizes readily accessible.
