Whitworth,BSF,af,BA or metric sockets,sets and accessories

Whitworth,B.A,AF or metric,sockets,socket sets and hex keys.
Hub,sensor and injector sockets,box spanners. Sockets,extension bars,universal joints, etc can be made from chrome molybdenum,chrome vanadium or carbon steel. Chrome molybdenum (usually blacked) is better for impact sockets unless designed for use with an impact tool,chrome vanadium sockets can shatter.Wall,surface or flank drive and Hi Torq etc are all basically sockets and ring spanners designed to exert force on the flat sides of the hex not just the corners.Mono hex or six sided sockets and box spanners may grip worn fixings better than bi hex (twelve sided) sockets.Twelve sided sockets were more common when they were used to compensate for ratchets that had relatively coarse teeth.There are various SAE,DIN and ANSI etc specifications for sockets and may be an indication of the standard it's been made to. Google checkout buttons are for UK.Overseas orders welcome please email for prices,for terms and conditions etc go here.. I also have some tools listed at the ebid auction site.

Sets or individual Metric,AF,Whitworth BSF and BA box spanners (some still British made) and deep sockets stocked also deep and impact sockets in AF sizes for use with wheel guns etc.Deep whitworth sockets,whitworth box spanners,whitworth open ended and combination spanners etc see here All the sockets and socket sets I sell by mail order or auction are of professional quality,if a socket fails in normal use,send it back and I'll replace it,it's that simple. The sizes of spark plug sockets (10,14 mm etc) refer to the diameter of the thread not the size of the spanner needed on it.For a 10mm plug the spanner would be 16mm or 5/8 inch af,for 14mm it would be 13/16 inch af (approx 21mm).Some older spark plug sockets and box spanners might carry the older imperial markings. Sockets for injectors on diesel or petrol engines are normally sized 'across flats'.(22,27 or 28mm being common) Some injector and sensor sockets have a 'window' in the side to avoid damage to wires etc and some injectors need a crowfoot spanner to remove them, I stock a range of these.Some deeply recessed nuts are best removed with box spanners. Torque wrenches and ratchets are not intended to undo rusted or over tight fastenings.Use a breaker bar or an air driven impact wrench to start them.
