Steelman 15-Piece 3/8" Metric Socket Set
This 15-piece metric socket set is built for automotive technicians and home mechanics who need reliable 3/8-inch drive tools. Constructed from heavy-duty chrome vanadium steel, the sockets deliver the strength required for high-torque fastening jobs. The 6-point design grips fastener flats instead of corners, reducing wear and the risk of rounding. Laser-etched size markings ensure quick identification without fading over time.
Chrome Finish Resists Corrosion And Cleans Easily
The high-polish chrome plating protects each socket against rust and corrosion in workshop environments. Surface contamination such as dirt, oil, and grime wipes away cleanly with a cloth. This finish maintains the tool's professional appearance and functional integrity through repeated daily use. No special maintenance or lubrication is required to preserve the coating.
Includes Storage Tray For Organisation
The set ships with a storage tray that keeps all 15 sockets arranged by size for fast access. Organised storage prevents lost pieces and speeds up job-site transitions. The tray fits standard toolbox drawers and protects the chrome finish from contact damage. This packaging supports efficient workflow for both mobile and stationary workstations.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 15-piece 3/8-inch drive metric socket set onto my ratchet, and what step causes the most problems?
Align the 6-point socket square drive with the 3/8-inch ratchet anvil and press firmly until the detent ball clicks into the socket groove; the step most often missed is verifying the ball is fully seated before applying torque.
What maintenance or replacement will the chrome vanadium sockets and laser-etched markings need over time?
Wipe the high-polish chrome finish clean of oil and grime after each use to preserve corrosion resistance; the laser-etched size markings are permanent and do not wear off, while sockets only need replacement if the 6-point walls deform from extreme overload.
What limit appears first when the 15-piece metric socket set sees sustained high-torque use?
The 6-point socket walls will yield before the chrome vanadium steel core or the 3/8-inch drive interface, so the practical limit is fastener rounding or socket distortion under continuous heavy loading.
