It also includes a range of sockets and spanners in both imperial and metric sizes, making it suitable for a vast range of applications. The impact driver and ratchet driver, which come included in the set, are made of hardened chrome vanadium steel for extra durability and have been designed with a smaller head profile to reach into tight spots. The set also come with a socket and wrench organiser tray, allowing the user to quickly and easily select the desired tool from the tray.
