Frequently Asked Questions
What fastener types can the Laser Tools Alldrive® socket set be used with?
The Laser Tools 1/4" Drive Alldrive® Socket Set uses a specialist multi-fit profile designed to work with several common fastener types, including Metric Hex, AF Imperial Hex, external E-Torx and Spline fasteners. This makes the 19-piece set particularly versatile for automotive servicing, motorcycle repairs, engineering and general workshop maintenance.
What socket sizes are included in the Laser Tools 19-piece Alldrive socket set?
The set contains 13 Alldrive® sockets from 4mm to 14mm: 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14mm. Selected sockets also provide compatibility with equivalent AF Imperial, E-Torx and metric Spline fasteners, reducing the number of separate socket types required in a professional toolbox.
What tools and accessories are included with this 1/4" drive socket set?
In addition to the 13 sockets, this 19-piece Laser Tools socket set includes a 72-tooth quick-release 1/4" drive ratchet, 50mm and 100mm extension bars, universal joint, sliding T-bar and spinner handle. This provides a compact but comprehensive tool selection for everyday automotive, mechanical and engineering work.
Why is a 72-tooth ratchet useful when working on cars and machinery?
A 72-tooth ratchet requires only a small handle movement between engagement points, making it particularly useful in restricted-access areas such as vehicle engine bays, motorcycle components and machinery. The included quick-release mechanism also allows sockets to be changed quickly during servicing and repair work.
What is the advantage of Alldrive® sockets compared with conventional sockets?
The main advantage of Laser Tools Alldrive® sockets is their ability to work with multiple compatible fastener profiles rather than requiring a separate socket collection for every type. With compatibility covering metric, AF Imperial, E-Torx and Spline fasteners, the set can help reduce toolbox space while providing greater flexibility when working across different vehicles and mechanical equipment.
