Astro Tools 78311 11-Piece 3/8 Drive Socket Set - 9.5-19.5mm for Undersized, Swollen or Damaged Hardware

The Astro Tools 78311 11-Piece 3/8" Drive 1/2 Size Socket Set - 9.5 - 19.5mm is designed to accommodate undersized, swollen, or damaged hardware. Not every bolt and nut on vehicles remains factory perfect to the millimeter over time and service life. This socket set allows the use of 0.5mm under sockets for rounded and damaged bolts and nuts, and the use of 0.5mm over sockets for swollen or corroded bolts and cap-covered nuts.

Have you ever encountered a situation where a 13mm socket is too tight to fit, but a 14mm socket feels loose? And it's not an SAE fastener? This issue is not uncommon, as hardware can become worn or deformed over time. To address this, the Astro Tools 78311 set provides a solution by offering a range of sizes to fit these imperfect fasteners.

For hand tools and impact wrenches, users can utilize a hammer to fit the 1/2 size under sockets where needed. This feature allows for a secure and precise fit, even on damaged or worn-out hardware.

Moreover, this socket set is also compatible with SAE fasteners. By stepping down the effective hex dimension, the set can be used on worn-out hardware, ensuring a proper fit and preventing further damage to the fasteners.

The Astro Tools 78311 11-Piece 3/8" Drive 1/2 Size Socket Set - 9.5 - 19.5mm is a versatile and practical solution for technicians and DIYers who frequently encounter challenges with non-standard or damaged hardware. Its ability to accommodate undersized, swollen, or damaged fasteners sets it apart from traditional socket sets, making it a valuable tool for maintaining and repairing vehicles.

Whether you're working on a classic car, a modern vehicle, or any equipment with fasteners, the Astro Tools 78311 socket set can provide the flexibility and precision you need to get the job done effectively. Its innovative design and attention to detail make it a must-have addition to any well-equipped toolbox.
