Socket set KS Tools 911.1036 1 inch drive metric 5.1 cm diameter

The KS Tools 911.1036 1 inch drive metric 5.1 cm diameter socket set is a single socket designed for heavy-duty fastening and loosening tasks. With a 1 inch square drive and a metric socket profile, this tool combines substantial mass and a compact footprint: 5.1 cm outer diameter and 66 mm overall length. The tool's construction and weight of 510 g indicate suitability for impact and high-torque applications where a robust, well-balanced socket is required.

Advantages

This KS Tools socket offers a large-diameter design that improves contact area with the fastener and helps distribute load during torque application. The 1 inch drive interface provides compatibility with industrial ratchets, torque wrenches and impact tools common in automotive, heavy machinery and industrial maintenance environments. Compact length aids access in confined spaces while the substantial weight contributes to durability and stable handling under repeated use.

Suitable for

• Automotive heavy-duty wheel and axle work
• Maintenance on agricultural or construction machinery
• Industrial assembly and disassembly where high torque is required
• Workshops using 1 inch drive torque wrenches and impact tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1 inch square drive
• Socket format: metric profile
• Outer diameter: 5.1 cm
• Overall length: 66 mm
• Weight: 510 g

How to use

Select the socket size that matches the fastener and fit it onto a compatible 1 inch drive tool such as a ratchet, breaker bar, torque wrench or impact wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive and on the fastener head before applying torque. For removal, apply steady, controlled force and avoid side-loading the socket to prevent rounding of the fastener or damage to the socket walls. After use, clean off debris and store the socket in a dry tool chest or rack to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow equipment manufacturer torque limits. When using impact tools, confirm the socket is rated for impact use; if uncertain, use hand tools or impact-rated sockets to reduce risk of tool failure. Regularly inspect the socket for cracks, deformation or wear and replace if any damage is detected.
