Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TEKTON from 3G Electric.
What materials are TEKTON impact sockets made from?
TEKTON impact sockets are constructed from chromium molybdenum steel (chromoly), which provides high tensile strength and resistance to shock loads. This material is standard for impact-rated tools and ensures the sockets can withstand repeated use with impact wrenches without cracking or deforming. The sockets feature a friction retention mechanism to hold fasteners securely.
Are TEKTON socket sets available in both SAE and metric sizes?
Yes, TEKTON offers socket sets that include both SAE and metric sizes in a single kit. For example, the 42-piece impact socket set (MPN SID91217) covers SAE sizes from 5/16 in to 3/4 in and metric sizes from 6 mm to 19 mm. This dual-system approach reduces the need for separate sets and is common across TEKTON's impact and hand socket lines.
What drive sizes are available for TEKTON socket sets?
TEKTON socket sets are available in 1/4 in, 3/8 in, and 1/2 in drive sizes. The 3/8 in drive is the most common across impact and hex bit socket sets, while 1/4 in drive sets are used for smaller fasteners and 1/2 in drive sets for higher torque applications. Each set is designed to match the drive size to the socket range for optimal performance.
Do TEKTON wrenches come in single-end or double-end configurations?
TEKTON offers both single-end and double-end wrenches. The single-end open-end service wrench (MPN WSE14346) is designed for heavy-duty applications with a 1 13/16 in head size and a satin finish. Double-end wrenches are also available in the catalog, providing flexibility for different fastener access requirements.
What is the finish on TEKTON crowfoot wrenches?
TEKTON flare nut crowfoot wrenches, such as MPN WCF15221, feature a satin nickel finish. This finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-glare surface, which is beneficial in work environments where reflection could be a distraction. The steel construction ensures durability under repeated use.
How are TEKTON socket sets organized for storage?
TEKTON socket sets typically include a fixed insert organizer that holds each socket in a designated slot. For example, the hex bit socket set (MPN SHB91202) uses a fixed insert to keep bits secure and sorted by size. This design allows for quick identification and reduces the risk of losing tools in a workshop or service truck.
