What types of metric individual tools does ToolSource offer?

ToolSource offers a wide variety of metric individual tools, including sockets, wrenches, drivers, and more. We currently stock over 226 individual metric tools from top brands like Grey Pneumatic, Sunex Tools, and GearWrench. These tools are designed for various applications, from automotive repair to general maintenance.

Which brands of metric sockets are available individually?

You can find individual metric sockets from several leading brands at ToolSource, including Grey Pneumatic, Sunex Tools, and SK Hand Tool. When selecting a socket, consider the drive size, material (chrome vanadium or impact-rated), and the specific application you need it for. Impact sockets, for example, are designed for use with impact wrenches.

What should I consider when buying an individual metric wrench?

When purchasing an individual metric wrench, consider the type of wrench (e.g., open-end, box-end, combination), the size you need, and the brand's reputation for quality. Brands like J.H. Williams and GearWrench are known for their durable and reliable wrenches. Also, think about the accessibility of the fastener you'll be working with, as different wrench types are better suited for different situations.

Do you carry individual metric Allen wrenches (hex keys)?

Yes, we offer individual metric Allen wrenches, also known as hex keys. These are available from brands like Apex Tool Group and VIM Tools. When choosing a hex key, ensure you select the correct size for your fastener and consider whether you need a standard or ball-end key for angled access.

What's the difference between a standard and deep socket?

A standard socket is shorter and designed for general use, while a deep socket is longer and allows you to reach fasteners recessed in tight spaces. Consider the depth of the nut or bolt you'll be working with when choosing between a standard and deep socket. Many brands, including Sunex Tools, offer both types in their metric socket sets and as individual pieces.

Are your individual metric tools covered by any warranty?

Warranty coverage varies by brand. Generally, manufacturers like Grey Pneumatic and SK Hand Tool offer warranties against defects in materials and workmanship. Be sure to check the specific warranty information provided by the manufacturer for the individual tool you are considering.

What materials are your metric individual tools made from?

Most of our metric individual tools are made from high-quality materials like chrome vanadium steel for durability and resistance to corrosion. Some tools, particularly impact sockets, are made from chrome molybdenum steel for increased strength and impact resistance. The material will be listed in the product description.

I only need one specific size of metric socket. Is it better to buy a whole set or an individual socket?

If you only need one specific size, purchasing an individual socket is often the most cost-effective option. We offer a wide selection of individual metric sockets, allowing you to buy only what you need. However, if you anticipate needing other sizes in the future, a socket set might be a better long-term investment.

The Sunex Tools 813UM 1/4-inch drive impact flex socket is engineered for professional technicians requiring reliable performance in confined spaces. This 13mm, 6-point standard flex socket combines the strength of impact-grade construction with the adaptability of a flexible joint, allowing for efficient fastening and loosening of nuts and bolts at various angles.

Key Features

Premium Molybdenum Alloy Steel: Forged from high-quality Molybdenum alloy steel, this socket delivers superior strength and resistance to the high torque demands of impact applications.
Impact-Grade Durability: Designed to withstand the stresses of impact wrenches, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding automotive and industrial environments.
Radius Corner Design: The innovative radius corner design engages with the robust wall of the fastener, rather than the corners. This design reduces wear on fasteners, promoting their longevity and preventing rounding.
Flexible Joint for Access: A built-in flex joint provides up to 30 degrees of articulation, enabling technicians to reach fasteners in obstructed areas where a standard socket cannot fit directly.
Lifetime Warranty: Backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring full replacement in the event of manufacturing defects or material failure.

Applications

This 13mm impact flex socket is an essential tool for automotive mechanics and industrial technicians working on a wide range of tasks. Its flexible design is particularly useful in engine bays, suspension work, and chassis components where clearance is limited. It can effectively access fasteners around obstacles, making it suitable for jobs such as exhaust manifold removal, spark plug replacement, and various other fastening applications in tight quarters within automotive, motorcycle, and light industrial machinery.
