Socket wrench set Proxxon 23 078 — 32-piece, chrome, 1/4" drive ratchet

Proxxon 23 078 is a 32-piece socket wrench set in a chrome finish designed for general mechanical and maintenance work. The set contains a 1/4" drive single-piece CrV ratchet with fine 72-tooth toothing and quick-release button, a range of sockets from 5 mm to 13 mm, three extension bars (50 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm), 17 standard 25 mm bits made from high-alloy special steel, and a hexagon/square female adapter. All components are organized in a sturdy welded steel box with powder coating and distortion-free polypropylene trays for convenient storage and transport.

Advantages

The ratchet is made from a single hardened CrV steel piece with precise toothing that engages multiple teeth for high torque transmission and reliable operation. A quick-release mechanism allows fast swapping and secure retention of sockets. Chrome-finished sockets and accessories provide corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The storage box combines a durable powder-coated steel exterior with oil- and acid-resistant polypropylene trays that keep tools organized and clearly marked.

How to use

Select the appropriate socket for the fastener and press it onto the ratchet’s square drive until the quick-release button secures it. Use the ratchet to apply torque in the required direction; reverse the ratchet lever to change turning direction. For recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners, attach the appropriate extension bar. Use the 25 mm bits with the adapter where bit drivers are needed. After use, clean components of debris or fluids and return them to their marked positions in the tray to maintain organization and protect the tools.

Usage recommendations

Inspect sockets and ratchet before each use for wear or damage. Apply suitable lubricant occasionally to the ratchet mechanism for smooth operation. Avoid using the ratchet as a hammer or prying tool. Store the set in a dry place to preserve the chrome finish and polypropylene trays.
