Dopsleutelset KS Tools 515.2017 1/2 inch aandrijving metrisch 3 cm diameter 85 mm lengte

The KS Tools 515.2017 socket set provides a 1/2 inch drive with metric sockets having a 3 cm diameter and an 85 mm length. Weighing 231 g, this compact socket is intended for general mechanical and automotive tasks where medium reach and a secure fit are required. Constructed to meet common workshop demands, it is suitable for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and torque tools.

Advantages

This socket set combines a standardized 1/2 inch drive with metric sizing, offering compatibility with a wide range of ratchets and extensions. The 85 mm length gives extra reach into recessed fasteners while the 3 cm diameter provides a stable contact area on bolts and nuts. The lightweight design at 231 g reduces hand fatigue during repetitive work and supports easy tool kit portability.

How to use

Select the correct metric socket size for the fastener, attach the socket to a compatible 1/2 inch drive ratchet or extension, and engage the fastener squarely to avoid rounding. Apply torque gradually and maintain alignment between tool and fastener. For tightening to a specified torque, use a calibrated torque wrench with the 1/2 inch drive socket attached. After use, clean off grease and debris and store the socket in a dry toolbox or socket rail.

Recommendations

Use the KS Tools socket with the correct size and appropriate drive accessories; avoid using impact-rated sockets in non-impact sockets and vice versa. Inspect sockets regularly for wear or damage and replace if deformation or cracking is present. When working in confined spaces, consider using extensions or swivel adapters to maintain safe leverage and reduce risk of slippage.
