The professional ASTA A-11IM12 imperial socket set (11 pieces) with a 3/8" drive square is specifically engineered for servicing American vehicles (Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, etc.), classic British cars, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and various imported equipment utilizing SAE fastener standards.
The key feature of this set is the 12-point (Bi-Hex) socket profile. This design doubles the number of contact points with the fastener compared to a standard 6-point alternative. It allows for easier engagement in tight spaces (where the ratchet swing angle is minimal) and reduces the risk of rounding off fastener edges under high torque loads.
Key Features
- 12-Point Profile (Bi-Hex): Ensures quick and effortless positioning of the socket onto fasteners in cramped engine bays and hard-to-reach areas.
- Popular 3/8" Drive: The ideal balance between tool weight and the ability to withstand heavy-duty mechanical loads.
- Professional ASTA Quality: Manufactured from high-strength chrome-vanadium steel (Cr-V), resistant to wear, deformation, and heavy stress.
- Anti-Corrosion Protection: A premium chrome finish shields the tools from rust, oils, and harsh automotive workshop chemicals.
- Convenient Storage: Supplied on a sturdy metal rail holder that securely locks the sockets in place to prevent loss.
