Question 1

What’s included in the Stanley STMT74184-8 12 Point Socket Set (24Pcs)?

Accepted Answer

The set includes 24 sockets in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 9/16 inch sizes with both deep and standard (6-point) options, plus spark plug sockets and universal joints, all housed in a sturdy metal storage tin.

Question 2

What does the 12-point design mean and when should I use it?

Accepted Answer

A 12-point socket has more contact points than a 6-point design, which helps with quick alignment in tight spaces and makes it easier to engage fasteners from awkward angles. It’s good for general use and alignment in confined areas, though it may not always provide the maximum torque of a true 6-point socket.

Question 3

What material are the sockets made from and why does that matter?

Accepted Answer

The sockets are made from chrome-vanadium steel, which offers good strength, durability, and wear resistance for everyday fastening tasks.

Question 4

Does this set meet applicable standards for performance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the set is designed to meet or exceed ANSI standards, ensuring reliable performance for common shop and home tasks.

Question 5

How is the set stored and transported when I’m on the go?

Accepted Answer

All 24 pieces fit neatly in a metal storage tin with a removable lid, making transport and organization easy and keeping components together.

Question 6

What are common uses for this socket set?

Accepted Answer

It’s suitable for automotive work, machinery maintenance, and household repairs. The inclusion of spark plug sockets and universal joints expands its versatility for engine work and other accessible fasteners.

Question 7

How do I decide between the deep sockets and the standard sockets in this set?

Accepted Answer

Deep sockets are best when you need extra reach to access recessed fasteners or studs, while standard sockets are ideal for most typical fasteners in open spaces. This set provides both to cover a wide range of applications.

Question 8

Are these sockets safe to use with impact tools?

Accepted Answer

This Chrome-Vanadium set is intended for hand-use and standard tooling scenarios. For impact tools, use only sockets rated for impact use to avoid damage or injury.
