Description
The Sthor socket set 12-piece 1/2″ 10–24 mm is a practical, compact tool set that offers the most essential socket sizes for the most common installation and repair jobs. The set is designed especially for jobs that need reliable power transfer with a 1/2″ drive. All parts of the set are made of durable carbon steel and come in a rack with an ergonomic plastic handle, which keeps the tools in order and makes them easier to carry.
At the heart of the set is a 1/2″ ratchet with a high-quality 72-tooth mechanism. This allows very precise work, as the ratchet’s return angle is only 5 degrees, a decisive advantage when working in tight spaces where the turning movement is limited. The ratchet also has a direction lever and a quick-release button for locking and releasing the socket, which makes the work smooth and fast. The carbon steel sockets have AS-DRIVE technology, which transfers the torque to the flanks of the screw or nut instead of the corners, protecting fasteners from damage and also making it possible to undo slightly worn heads.
The set contains ten 1/2″ hex sockets in the 10–24 mm size range, covering the most common metric sizes. The included extension bar extends the ratchet’s reach to recessed or hard-to-reach spots. This combination makes the Sthor 58633 socket set a versatile basic set, for example for machine repair, equipment installation and various maintenance tasks in industry, workshops and car repair shops. The sturdy carbon steel construction ensures the tools are durable in regular use.

Sthor socket set 12-piece 1/2″ 10–24 mm instructions for use:
Choose the socket size that fits the head of the bolt or nut exactly to avoid damage. Fit the socket on the ratchet or extension bar, making sure the quick release clicks into place. Select the ratchet’s direction of rotation (tightening/loosening) with the direction lever. Seat the socket firmly on the fastener head and turn the ratchet with even force. Do not use the ratchet to “crush” seized bolts or as a striking tool; if needed, use a fixed spanner to break them loose first. Keep the tools clean and lightly oil the ratchet mechanism when needed. Store the set in its rack so that the parts stay together.
Warnings:
- Always use suitable personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves.
- Make sure the socket is fully seated on the bolt or nut head before turning.
- Do not use hand sockets with powered impact tools (impact wrenches).
- Do not exceed the tools’ maximum permitted torque, for example by using extensions (pipes).
- Watch out for the tool slipping off the fastener, which can cause injury.
- Keep out of the reach of children.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
- Are these sockets impact rated?: No, these carbon steel sockets are intended only for hand ratchets and wrenches. Do not use them in impact tools.
- What is the benefit of AS-DRIVE technology?: It shapes the inside of the socket so that the torque acts on the flanks of the bolt head, not the corners. This reduces rounding of the corners and improves grip.
- Is the set suitable for professional use?: The set is designed for the needs of industry, workshops and service points for regular use.
- Does the ratchet have a socket quick release?: Yes, the ratchet has a button that locks the socket and releases it when pressed.
Recycling instructions:
The metal sockets, ratchet and extension bar should be taken to metal collection. The plastic storage rack/handle is recycled with plastic collection.
