Socket STANLEY STMT86096-0, 1/4" drive, Metric sockets, length 105 mm, width 45 mm

STANLEY STMT86096-0 is a 1/4" drive metric socket designed for tightening and loosening metric fasteners in confined spaces. With compact dimensions (105 mm length, 45 mm width) and a light weight of 28 g, this socket is compatible with 1/4" drive ratchets and extensions and is suitable for automotive, maintenance and assembly tasks where access and tool control matter.

Advantages

The socket's compact design and reduced profile provide better access in narrow or recessed areas while preserving a secure fit on metric fasteners. Its 1/4" drive interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of hand tools and extensions. The light weight contributes to easier handling during repetitive tasks and reduces fatigue when working in tight positions.

How to use

Select the appropriate metric socket size for the fastener and attach it to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet or extension. Position the socket squarely on the fastener, apply steady torque with the ratchet or extension while maintaining alignment, and turn to tighten or loosen as required. For deep or recessed fasteners, use with extensions or universal joints to reach the fastener while keeping the tool axis aligned.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket before use for signs of wear or damage and ensure it is the correct size for the fastener to avoid rounding. Use appropriate torque values for the fastener and avoid excessive impact on a socket not rated for impact use. Store the socket in a dry toolbox to limit corrosion and maintain tool condition.
