Socket set Proxxon 23102 — 24 sockets metric/imperial, hand sockets kit

Proxxon 23102 — 24 sockets metric/imperial, hand sockets kit is a compact, organised socket set designed for manual fastening and maintenance tasks. The kit contains a comprehensive range of Torx (TX) socket heads and external Torx sizes suitable for both light and heavier tightening jobs. Housed in a welded steel box with durable powder coating and fitted with distortion‑free polypropylene trays, the set is intended to remain serviceable and easy to handle in workshop, garage, or home environments.

Advantages

The set combines 1/4" (6.3 mm) drive TX sockets with frontal hole for use with retaining pins and 1/2" (12.5 mm) drive TX sockets for higher torque applications, plus external Torx sockets and three offset TX spanners (TX6, TX8, TX10). Sockets cover a wide range of internal Torx sizes from TX8 to TX60 and external sizes E4 to E18, enabling work on different fasteners without the need to switch toolkits. The welded steel box with a powder coated finish protects the tools from corrosion while injected polypropylene trays are distortion‑free, oil‑ and acid‑resistant, and keep sockets clearly marked and easy to identify.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Machinery service and workshop tasks
• Household and DIY projects involving Torx fasteners
• Accessing bolts and nuts in confined or recessed spaces

• Storage: welded steel box with powder coating; injected polypropylene trays
• Tray properties: distortion‑free, oil‑ and acid‑resistant, easy to clean
• Clear, durable size markings on sockets and tray

How to use

Select the correct Torx socket size for the fastener and fit it to a compatible ratchet or extension, ensuring secure engagement before applying torque. Use the 1/4" drive sockets for lower torque, precise fastening and where retaining pins are required, and switch to the 1/2" drive sockets for higher torque applications. External Torx sockets are used on external head fasteners; offset spanners offer access in tight or angled positions. After use, clean any debris or oil from sockets and return them to their designated positions in the polypropylene tray to maintain organisation and prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

The kit is intended for manual use with ratchets and extensions; avoid using 1/4" drive sockets with impact tools. Match socket size precisely to fastener to reduce rounding and use appropriate torque values for the application. Store the set in its steel box in a dry place and clean sockets after use to prolong service life.
