Product Information

Full details

The US PRO 13pc Impact Stud Socket Set is designed for automotive technicians and home mechanics who need a reliable solution for extracting stripped, rounded, or seized fasteners. Its primary benefit is the precision spiral-cut teeth that bite into damaged bolt heads, providing a secure grip where standard sockets fail. However, users should note that these are intended strictly for removal purposes and should not be used for tightening fasteners, as the teeth can mar the surface of new hardware.

FAQs

Can I use these sockets to tighten bolts?

No, these sockets are designed specifically for extraction. Using them to tighten may damage the threads or the head of the bolt.

What drive size do these sockets require?

These are 3/8-inch drive sockets.

Will these work on stainless steel bolts?

Yes, they work on stainless steel, but be aware that the teeth will leave permanent marks on the surface.

Are these impact rated?

Yes, they are designed to handle the forces applied by impact tools.

How do I know which size to pick?

Select the smallest socket that can be forced onto the head of the damaged fastener.

Troubleshooting

Socket slips on the fastener

Ensure the socket is seated fully onto the fastener; use a hammer to gently tap it into place if the fastener is particularly damaged.

Fastener is stuck inside the socket after removal

Use a center punch or a small screwdriver to push the fastener out from the back of the socket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This set is designed for use with any 3/8-inch drive handle, including ratchets, torque wrenches (for removal force only), or impact drivers.

Maintenance Steps:

  1. Cleaning: After use, tap the socket against a hard surface or use a wire brush to dislodge metal shavings or rust flakes from the teeth.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically coat the interior with a light machine oil to prevent internal corrosion.
  3. Storage: Keep the sockets organized in the provided storage rail to prevent loss and ensure the teeth do not dull by clashing against other steel tools.
  4. Compatibility: Always match the socket size as closely as possible to the remaining integrity of the bolt head for the best possible grip.
