The KS Tools 150.9435 socket set includes a single socket head crafted from chromium-vanadium steel. Designed for general mechanical tasks, the tool offers durable material construction and a compact, lightweight form factor at approximately 90 grams, making it suitable for handheld use, portable tool kits, and confined spaces. The socket head matches common drive sizes and is intended to fit standard fasteners used in automotive, household, and workshop environments.
Advantages
The chromium-vanadium steel composition provides resistance to bending and wear under normal torque conditions, while heat treatment enhances hardness and service life. Its low weight improves maneuverability during extended use and reduces wrist strain when compared with heavier socket heads. Precision-machined drive and socket faces ensure a consistent fit on hexagonal fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage when used appropriately.
Suitable for
- Automotive maintenance and repair tasks
- Home DIY projects and furniture assembly
- General mechanical and workshop applications
- Portable tool kits for field service work
Key specifications

How to use
Select the socket head that matches the size of the hex fastener. Attach the socket securely to a compatible ratchet, breaker bar or driver handle, ensuring the drive connection is fully engaged. Position the socket squarely on the fastener, apply controlled torque and turn slowly at first to confirm proper engagement. Avoid excessive impact or over-torquing beyond the fastener or tool rating to prevent damage to the socket or workpiece.
Usage recommendations
Store the socket head in a dry tool case to prevent corrosion and inspect before use for signs of wear or deformation. Use appropriate drive tools and matched fastener sizes; avoid using damaged fasteners or applying impact tools unless the socket is specifically rated for such use.
