83616-22-Impact Socket Wrench Set-22 PCs-⅜”Drive

Why does this set use Cr-Mo steel instead of Chrome Vanadium? Chrome Vanadium is for hand tools. Chrome Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) is for power tools. It is a tougher, more ductile metal that can absorb the “shocks” of an impact wrench without shattering. For power use, Cr-Mo is the “Absolute” professional standard.

What is the benefit of the Ball Retainer on the Universal Joint? Impact tools vibrate at high frequencies. A standard friction-fit would let the socket fall off. The Ball Retainer on the 83616-22 accessories clicks into the socket, providing “Absolute” security so the tool stays together while you are working.

Does this set include Hex and Star (Torx) sizes? Yes. This is a master set. It includes Impact Hexagon and Impact Star bit sockets, as well as Deep Sockets. It is an “Absolute” comprehensive kit that covers almost every 3/8″ drive fastener you will encounter in a modern vehicle or machine.
