Materials and Design
Crestoloy Alloy Steel
Crescent's Crestoloy alloy steel delivers better strength and longer tool life than basic chrome vanadium sockets.
Off-Corner Loading Design
The 6-point off-corner loading design contacts fastener flats, not corners, reducing rounding on tight or corroded bolts.
Nickel Chrome Plating
Nickel chrome plating resists corrosion and wipes clean for a long-lasting finish. Meets or exceeds ASME specifications.
Compatibility and Use Cases
Fits all 1/4" drive ratchets, extensions, and breakers. Ideal for automotive work, small engines, appliances, electronics, and furniture assembly — anywhere 10mm bolts appear.
Comparisons and Alternatives
Compared with 12-point sockets, this 6-point design grips more metal and rounds fewer fasteners. Compared with deep sockets, the standard length fits tighter clearances. Complements any Crescent socket set.
