1/4" Drive Metric Socket Set
The Westward 53PN30 contains twelve deep sockets in a 1/4 inch drive format covering metric sizes from 3.5mm to 12mm. It is aimed at technicians and DIY users who need a compact selection for light fastening tasks. Each socket features a 6-point profile and a chrome finish. No ratchet or extensions are included in the set.
ANSI Standard and Impact Limits
The sockets meet ANSI dimensional standards and are not impact rated. They are designed for hand-driven use with a compatible ratchet or driver. Using them with powered impact tools can cause cracking or premature wear. The chrome plating provides corrosion resistance but can chip under high-torque abuse.
Chrome Finish and Tethering Accessory
The chrome finish resists rust and wipes clean after exposure to shop fluids. Sockets are classified as standard tools requiring an accessory for tethering if drop prevention is mandated on site. The 6-point geometry grips fastener flats to reduce rounding. The set excludes shallow or flex sockets for other profiles.

Questions about this item
How do I know whether the 12-piece metric set covers the fasteners I need?
The set spans 3.5mm through 12mm in 0.5mm steps, giving you every size from 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 to 12mm in one tray.
What does the 6-point deep socket design actually do on a bolt head?
Six-point deep sockets grip the flats of a metric bolt rather than the corners, reducing rounding and allowing reach into recessed fasteners.
Will the 1/4 inch drive limit the torque I can apply compared with larger drives?
Yes, a 1/4 inch square drive caps practical torque well below what 3/8 or 1/2 inch drives handle, so it is intended for lighter fastening tasks.
