The most Premium Socket Set on the market.
The lightest, tightest fitting sockets using the best materials and coatings.
THESE RACER SPECIAL SOCKETS HAVE VERY FAINT SIZE MARKINGS AS SHOWN BELOW.
Features of the TRO Titanium Socket Set:
- 6, 8, 10 & 12 mm sockets beautifully machined from Titanium Ti-6AL-4V (Grade 5). High quality surface finish inside and out.
-
Incredibly lightweight at 18 g (0.63 oz) total. Half the mass of an equivalent normal socket set - there's no better set for a lightweight toolkit.
-
Exceptionally tight clearances. Both Hexes and the square drive offer much better fitment than standard tools. A near perfect fit.
- With minimal play between the socket and fastener, more of the socket is engaged, reducing stress on the tool.
- Extremely strong retention on the 1/4" square drive.
-
100% non-magnetic and corrosion-proof.
- Nearly non-marring to fasteners due to high contact area and slightly less hardness than steel (~42 vs 52 HRC).
-
Several high performance PVD Coatings Offered:
UNCOATED TITANIUM IS SLIGHTLY SOFTER THAN STEEL - IT IS MORE PRONE TO SURFACE SCRATCHES WITHOUT A COATING.
