A hexagonal socket, commonly known as a hex socket or Allen socket, refers to a type of fastening or tightening tool designed for use with hexagonal (six-sided) fasteners, such as hex bolts or screws. The tool typically consists of a metal cylinder with a hexagonal-shaped opening at one end, allowing it to engage with the corresponding hexagonal head of a fastener. Hex sockets are commonly used with a wrench or a socket wrench to apply torque and tighten or loosen hexagonal fasteners efficiently. The term “hex” is derived from the six-sided shape of the socket or fastener.

Safety measures and precautions
- Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses or goggles, gloves, and work boots to protect yourself from potential hazards.
- Inspect the Tool:
- Before use, inspect the 1/2″ hexagonal socket for any signs of damage, wear, or defects. Ensure that it is in good condition and suitable for the intended task.
- Choose the Correct Size:
- Select the correct size of the hexagonal socket that matches the fastener you are working with. Using the wrong size may damage the tool or the fastener.
- Use the Right Tool for the Job:
- Ensure that the hexagonal socket is the appropriate tool for the task at hand. Using the wrong tool can lead to inefficiency and potential safety hazards.
- Apply Proper Technique:
- Use the hexagonal socket with the appropriate technique. Apply force evenly and avoid using excessive force, as this can lead to over-tightening, stripping of fasteners, or injuries.
- Secure the Workpiece:
- Ensure that the workpiece is securely fastened or held in place before using the hexagonal socket. This helps prevent unexpected movement that could result in injuries.
- Use a Stable Work Surface:
- Work on a stable and level surface. A stable workbench or surface helps prevent slips, trips, and other accidents during tool use.
- Avoid Excessive Force:
- Use the appropriate amount of force necessary for the task. Avoid applying excessive force, as it can lead to loss of control and potential injuries.
- Keep Hands Clear:
- Keep your hands and other body parts clear of the moving parts of the hexagonal socket and the workpiece. Avoid placing your hands in areas where they could get pinched or caught.
- Be Mindful of Surroundings:
- Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure there is enough space to operate the hexagonal socket safely, and be cautious of other workers or obstacles in the vicinity.
- Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions:
- Adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines for the specific hexagonal socket you are using. This includes torque specifications and any other relevant safety information.
- Disconnect Power Sources:
- If using a powered tool, make sure it is disconnected from power sources when changing sockets or making adjustments. This prevents accidental starts that could lead to injuries.
- Proper Storage:
- Store the hexagonal socket and other tools in a designated area when not in use. Proper storage helps prevent accidents and keeps the tools in good condition.

3-Jaw Gear Puller 6″(6pcs)
A 3-jaw gear puller is a mechanical tool designed for removing gears, pulleys, and other tightly fitting components from shafts or axles. It typically consists of three adjustable jaws arranged in a triangular configuration, allowing the tool to grip and apply force evenly around the circumference of the gear or object being pulled. The jaws are threaded and can be adjusted to match the size of the object, providing a secure and balanced grip for effective extraction. The central screw or spindle is turned to tighten the jaws around the object, and as the screw is further tightened, the gear puller exerts a pulling force, facilitating the removal of the target component. This tool is commonly used in automotive, machinery maintenance, and other mechanical applications where the disassembly of tightly fitted parts is necessary.

Hydraulic Bottle Jack
A hydraulic bottle jack is a mechanical device designed for lifting heavy loads by applying force through the use of hydraulic fluid. It typically consists of a vertical cylinder, within which a piston is situated. When force is applied to the piston, it displaces hydraulic fluid, creating pressure and causing the cylinder to lift, thereby raising the load. These jacks are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications for tasks such as lifting vehicles or supporting heavy machinery during maintenance or repairs. The compact design of a hydraulic bottle jack, resembling a bottle in shape, allows for ease of use in confined spaces.
