TEKTON Universal Joint Socket Set for Professionals, 33-Piece

The universal joint socket ingeniously merges a shallow 6-point socket with a compact universal joint, creating a tool that is significantly smaller than the combination of a traditional socket and universal joint. This streamlined design enhances flexibility and allows the u-joint socket to navigate around obstacles, granting access to extremely tight and confined spaces where conventional tools would struggle to fit.

Included in the set are various u-joint sockets for different sizes. The 7-piece set of 1/4-inch drive 6-point inch u-joint sockets features sizes: 1/4, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16 inches. Alongside this, there's a 9-piece set of 1/4-inch drive 6-point metric u-joint sockets, encompassing sizes: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 mm. For users who need larger sizes, the kit includes a 7-piece set of 3/8-inch drive 6-point inch u-joint sockets in sizes: 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, and 3/4 inches. Additionally, there is a 10-piece set of 3/8-inch drive 6-point metric u-joint sockets, which includes sizes: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 mm. The set comes neatly packaged in a storage case for easy organization and portability.

The geometry of these sockets is thoughtfully designed to exert force on the flat sides of the fasteners, rather than on the corners. This unique feature helps prevent rounding off the fasteners, which is a common issue with standard sockets.

Moreover, the size markings on the sockets are extra-large and die-stamped, ensuring that they are easy to read and won’t fade over time. This is particularly beneficial for quick identification during use, saving you valuable time when you need to quickly grab the right tool.

The polished, chrome-plated finish lends the sockets a sleek appearance and makes them incredibly easy to clean. Additionally, this finish provides a high degree of resistance to corrosion, ensuring durability and longevity under various working conditions.

In summary, the universal joint socket system is an innovative tool that combines a shallow 6-point socket with a compact universal joint, delivering unparalleled access to tight spaces. With multiple socket sizes included and features designed for durability and ease of use, this tool set is an essential addition to any mechanic's or DIY enthusiast's toolkit. Whether you’re working on machines, vehicles, or in confined settings, this versatile u-joint socket will enhance your efficiency and effectiveness in tackling a range of tasks.
