HBM 17 Piece Plug Through Socket Set

Why a push-through socket wrench? If you apply a nut to a bolt with a socket wrench, the depth of the socket wrench determines the length over which you can tighten the nut. In other words, a nut can only be tightened a limited number of turns on a bolt with a socket wrench. Conversely, a nut that is far on the thread of a bolt cannot be loosened from this bolt with a socket wrench. You simply cannot reach the nut with the cap because the cap is too shallow.

This is where a push-through socket wrench offers the solution. Because a push-through socket wrench has no bottom but only a hole, a push-through socket wrench can tighten and loosen any nut on any bolt length. A push-through socket wrench is therefore actually a cylindrical wrench, driven by a universal ratchet. So it is the luxurious and shorter version of a pipe wrench.

A push-through socket wrench is safer. Once you own a push-through socket wrench, you will use a socket wrench much less often. After all, when using a socket wrench you often do not know in advance whether or not the nut will tighten too far on a bolt. What then often happens is that the cap is slowly lifted off the nut by the increasing bolt (length) during tightening, so that the ratchet suddenly no longer has a grip with the nut and your hand with the ratchet then slips out with the chance result in injury. Moreover, this situation is often the cause of damage to the socket wrench itself, as a result of which the tool will also have a limited life.

This kind of damage to you and to the tool is a thing of the past when you purchase this push-through socket wrench set from HBM.
