Genius Tools 3/8" Drive Metric Impact Socket Set 16pc 7–22mm TF-316M

The Genius Tools TF-316M 16 Piece 3/8" Drive Metric Impact Socket Set is a professional-quality standard-depth socket set designed for automotive, mechanical, engineering and workshop applications.

Covering every metric size from 7mm through to 22mm, the set provides a comprehensive selection of 16 standard-depth impact sockets without gaps in the size sequence.

Manufactured from Chrome Vanadium steel, the sockets are designed for dependable professional use and feature a 6-point / hexagon profile for secure engagement with compatible nuts and bolt heads.

The 3/8" square drive makes the set a versatile choice for automotive servicing and general mechanical work where the more compact dimensions of 3/8" drive tooling can be advantageous.

All 16 sockets are supplied neatly organised on a tool rail, providing convenient workshop storage and quick identification of the required size.

Individual replacement sockets are also available separately, while a matching TF-316MD deep impact socket set is available for applications requiring additional socket depth.

The continuous 7-22mm size range provides excellent coverage for many commonly encountered metric fasteners in automotive servicing, mechanical maintenance and engineering work.

6-Point / Hexagon Socket Profile

Each socket features a 6-point / hexagon profile designed to provide secure engagement with compatible hexagonal fasteners.

The six-point design closely follows the shape of the nut or bolt head, providing positive contact and effective torque transfer when the correct socket size is used.

Benefits of the 6-point profile include:

• Secure engagement with compatible fasteners
• Effective torque transfer
• Reduced likelihood of fastener rounding compared with a poorly fitting socket
• Positive fit during repetitive fastening and removal operations
• Particularly useful where higher fastening loads are encountered

Always use the correctly sized socket and ensure it is fully seated on the fastener before applying load.

Standard-Depth Socket Design

The TF-316M uses a standard-depth socket design, making it particularly suitable for general-purpose automotive and workshop applications.

Standard sockets provide a compact overall profile and are useful where surrounding components restrict access around the fastener.

For applications involving recessed fasteners or nuts positioned further down longer studs, the corresponding Genius Tools TF-316MD deep impact socket set provides the same 7-22mm size coverage in a deep-depth format.

Chrome Vanadium Steel Construction

The sockets are manufactured from Chrome Vanadium steel, providing the strength and durability required for repeated professional fastening applications.

This makes the TF-316M suitable for mechanics, technicians and engineers requiring a dependable set of metric impact sockets for regular workshop use.

3/8" Square Drive

The 3/8" square drive provides a useful balance between tool strength and compact dimensions.

Compared with larger 1/2" drive tooling, a 3/8" drive socket can be particularly useful when working in tighter areas where access around the fastener is limited.

The sockets should always be used with suitable 3/8" drive equipment appropriate to the application.

Tool Rail Storage

All 16 sockets are supplied on a practical tool storage rail.

The rail provides several benefits in a professional workshop:

• Keeps the socket sizes organised
• Makes individual sizes easier to identify
• Provides quick access to commonly used sockets
• Helps identify a missing socket
• Convenient for toolbox and workshop storage
• Keeps the complete 7-22mm range together

Individual replacement sockets are available separately should a particular size become lost, damaged or require replacement.

Matching Deep Impact Socket Set

For users requiring both standard and deep impact sockets, a corresponding Genius Tools TF-316MD 16 Piece Deep Metric Impact Socket Set is also available separately.

The deep set provides the same 7mm to 22mm metric size range in a longer socket format, making it useful for recessed fasteners and nuts positioned on extended studs.

Combining the TF-316M standard set with the TF-316MD deep set provides comprehensive standard and deep 3/8" drive metric socket coverage.
