Description of 🔧 Capri Tools Hex Bit Socket Set, Metric, Advanced Series: The Ultimate 13-Piece Kit

The ADVANCED SERIES sockets and bit sockets are made for the most demanding professionals. Crafted from custom forged premium steel, they undergo proprietary heat treatment and are precisely machined to perform in the toughest situations. Premium S2 steel forged bits are exceptionally strong and durable. These S2 steel bits withstand high torque and do not twist, protecting both the bit and the fastener. The largest 1/2 in. drive hex bit (14 mm) is forged with custom Chrome Vanadium steel, giving the large bit balanced tensile strength for optimal performance. Our proprietary advanced heat treatment process further enhanced the S2 and Chrome Vanadium steel alloy to achieve the optimal balance of strength and performance. Every hex bit is made true-to-size for the entire length, letting you use the full length of the bit. All bits have chamfered end to ensure a smooth fit onto fasteners. Premium Chrome Vanadium steel sockets plated with our SmartKrome protective plating are durable and corrosion resistant. Organized in an impact-resistant tool case, the set includes 13 most frequently used metric hex bit sockets: 1/4 in. drive: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6; 3/8 in. drive: 7, 8, 9, 10; 1/2 in. drive: 12, 14 mm.

Typical hateful bodywork

Sockets look premium. Please note that I am writing this review having only had the kit for a week. I like that the hex sizes cover different ratchet sizes to mitigate excessive torque. I chose this set because it included 5.5 and the set that comes on the rail did not. Why an inflated case? It doesn't fit well in the jack box and now I need to create a custom jack rail that fits 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2. Capri offer the possibility to buy this set on the rail. Many Thanks

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Available in white only

I bought the whole set when I only needed one, mainly because the whole set was only a few dollars more. This is a quality set that comes with a lovely storage box which is always a bonus. I am very impressed with these tools and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. In fact, last weekend I used one of the sizes I didn't need when I originally bought the set, but luckily I had these here, so with a few extra bucks I saved more than enough to make up the difference. .

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Zero

Amazing quality! Suitable for power tools and hand tools

Great set. I've used these guys on heavy construction equipment where fasteners are usually extremely tight and a year later they haven't let me down. High quality without breaking the bank. I've compared these guys to the ones you find in the tool trolley and they stand shoulder to shoulder with them. I put these bits on seriously and they've held up great. The blow molding is also well made. My only complaint is that the case doesn't have metric markings on the outside, as SAE does too. I can

Pros
  • One year trial period

  • Empty

only work well if not imported

Well, given that even some of the bigger, more durable names like Craftsman are now made overseas, you can find good American made tools that are made for the common folk like me are not available trading. Since Craftsman scammed us all, aside from switching to manufacturing in China, I will not be buying their new stuff. I couldn't find any used vintage Craftsman allen wrenches in the timeframe I wanted so based on the reviews I chose this set. I used the size I needed once. It sits well and…

  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Ideal for furniture assembly!

I bought these last time I bought furniture that I needed to assemble and it was one of the Allen keys in it. I had to drive in a few screws with a wood hand tool so you could only do a half turn at a time before repotting. I swore I'd never get stuck in it again and found this set of hex bits to add to my little Craftsman ratchet. I ordered them, put them in my tool box and knew I had them. In fact, I recently bought another piece of furniture that required extensive hex turning with the…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Not bad for the cheap price.

Not bad for a cheap set. I use hex sockets daily for work and wanted to see if I would like using a 1/4 drive 1/4 ratchet set instead of my regular wrench or 3/8 drive. As usual, you really do get what you pay for with Tools. The first thing I noticed was that one of the bits on the socket was crooked. It didn't push all the way into the socket so no big deal, I just got it all the way in the vise and all is good now. I also noticed that my 3/16 bit from this set keeps getting stuck in the…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
