Frequently Asked Questions

What are the original Britool England 1/4" Drive AF Hexagon Bit Sockets used for?
The original Britool England 1/4" Drive AF Hexagon Bit Sockets are designed for tightening and loosening compatible imperial internal hex (Allen) fasteners. Manufactured in the UK, these professional hand tools are suitable for classic vehicle maintenance, motorcycle restoration, mechanical engineering and general workshop repairs. Their compact 1/4" square drive allows use with compatible manual ratchets, extension bars and other hand-operated accessories.
What imperial AF sizes are available in the Britool England Hexagon Bit Socket Range?
The Britool England 1/4" Drive AF Hex Bit Sockets are available in six imperial sizes:
- 3/32" AF
- 1/8" AF
- 5/32" AF
- 3/16" AF
- 7/32" AF
- 1/4" AF
Customers can purchase individual sockets in their selected size or choose the complete 6-piece set, which includes all six sizes supplied on a small socket storage rail. Availability is subject to remaining original UK-made stock.
Are these Britool Hexagon Bit Sockets genuinely made in England?
Yes. These are genuine original British-manufactured Britool England Hexagon Bit Sockets, produced at Britool's former UK factory. Each socket carries the Britool England manufacturer marking, distinguishing it from modern Britool Hallmark production. Their original British manufacturing heritage makes them particularly appealing to professional mechanics, classic vehicle restorers and collectors seeking traditional UK-made Britool tools.
What does AF mean, and can these imperial Allen bit sockets be used with metric hex screws?
AF means Across Flats, referring to the distance between opposite flat sides of the hexagonal bit and its matching internal hex fastener. These Britool England sockets are manufactured in imperial inch sizes, not metric measurements. Although some imperial and metric hex sizes may appear similar, they are not necessarily interchangeable. Always use the correctly sized bit to avoid slipping, rounding or damaging the internal hex recess.
Can these Britool England 1/4" Drive Hex Bit Sockets be used with impact wrenches?
No. These Britool England 1/4" Drive AF Hexagon Bit Sockets are designed for manual hand tool use only. Their polished chrome socket bodies are intended for compatible 1/4" drive hand ratchets and manually operated accessories, not pneumatic, cordless or electric impact wrenches. Always select the correct imperial hex bit size and ensure it is fully engaged in the fastener before applying torque.
Can the hexagonal bits be replaced if they become worn or damaged?
Yes. The original Britool England AF Hexagon Bit Sockets feature replaceable hexagonal bits, allowing a worn or damaged bit to be changed without necessarily replacing the complete chrome socket body. Replacement bits may be available separately upon request, subject to remaining stock and the required size. The replaceable design provides a practical maintenance option for owners wishing to keep their original British-made tools in service.
