Product Information
Full details
The Ryobi RHDIS3PC 3-piece Deep Well Impact Socket Set is designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIYers needing to tackle stubborn nuts and bolts. Its key benefit is the superior durability and grip offered by Chrome Molybdenum Steel construction, reducing the risk of stripping and slipping. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with 1/2" impact wrenches and focus on metric sizes. This set includes three essential deep well impact sockets (17mm, 19mm, 21mm) featuring easy-to-read, corrosion-resistant stamped markings for quick identification and cleaning.

FAQs
What materials are these sockets made from?
The Ryobi RHDIS3PC impact sockets are constructed from durable Chrome Molybdenum Steel, known for its strength and resistance to impact.
What sizes are included in this set?
This set includes three common metric sizes: 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm.
Can these sockets be used with a standard ratchet?
Yes, they are compatible with any 1/2" drive ratchet or extension. However, they are specifically designed to perform optimally with 1/2" drive impact wrenches for high-torque applications.
Are these sockets deep well or standard depth?
These are deep well sockets, providing extra reach for accessing fasteners that are recessed or difficult to reach.
How do I clean and maintain the sockets?
Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store them in a dry location to prevent corrosion. A light coating of oil can help protect the surface if stored for extended periods in humid conditions.
Will these sockets strip bolt heads?
The six-point hexagonal head design provides a superior grip on fasteners, significantly reducing the likelihood of stripping compared to some other socket designs, especially when used with appropriate torque.
Are these sockets suitable for lug nuts?
Yes, the included sizes (17mm, 19mm, 21mm) are common sizes for automotive lug nuts, and their impact-rated construction makes them ideal for this task.
Troubleshooting
Socket slips on bolt head
Ensure you are using the correct size socket for the fastener. Verify that the six-point head of the socket is fully engaged with the nut or bolt. Check for any debris in the socket or on the fastener that might be preventing a snug fit. If the fastener head is damaged, further specialized tools may be required.
Socket does not fit onto impact wrench drive
Confirm that your impact wrench or ratchet has a 1/2" drive. Ensure the drive tang on your tool is clean and unobstructed. Check the socket's drive opening for any manufacturing defects or debris.
Socket shows signs of rust or corrosion
While designed to be corrosion resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Clean the affected area with a soft brush or fine steel wool and apply a light coating of oil to protect the surface. Store in a dry place.
