GearWrench has unveiled 15 new socket sets in three different styles.
New styles include bit sockets, universal bit sockets and bit drivers, allowing technicians to select the right socket for a specific application.
“These new sockets uphold the reputation of strength and durability for which GearWrench is known,” said Jim Stewart, product manager. “We designed them for optimum performance, providing technicians with a reliable option to get to fasteners in hard-to-reach spaces. ”
Bit Socket Sets
The reduced overall length of these new bit sockets provides better access to fasteners. They also deliver strength and durability. Full polish chrome makes for an easy clean up after every use and the hard-stamped size markings aid with identification.
