Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are included in the Genius Tools 8 Piece Hex Impact Bit Socket Set?
The Genius Tools 1/2" Drive Hex Impact Bit Socket Set contains eight metric Allen/hex bit sockets in the following sizes: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm and 19mm. Each socket measures approximately 60mm in overall length and is designed for tightening or loosening compatible metric internal hex fasteners.
Can these Genius Tools hex bit sockets be used with cordless and pneumatic impact wrenches?
Yes. These Genius Tools Hex Impact Bit Sockets are manufactured from impact-grade chrome-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel and are designed for use with compatible 1/2" drive cordless and pneumatic impact wrenches. Their heavy-duty construction makes them suitable for demanding workshop applications. Always use the correct bit size, ensure full engagement with the fastener and follow the impact tool manufacturer's operating recommendations.
What is the difference between impact hex bit sockets and standard Allen bit sockets?
Impact hex bit sockets are specifically designed to withstand the repeated shock loads generated by powered impact tools. This Genius Tools set uses impact-grade Cr-Mo steel with a black protective finish. Standard chrome Allen bit sockets are generally intended for manual hand tools and should not be used with impact wrenches unless specifically impact-rated.
What applications are the Genius Tools 1/2" Drive Hex Impact Bit Sockets suitable for?
These Genius Tools Metric Hex Impact Bit Sockets are suitable for automotive repairs, mechanical engineering, industrial maintenance and machinery servicing involving compatible internal hex fasteners. The selection of sizes from 5mm to 19mm makes the set useful for a variety of workshop fastening tasks, including applications requiring larger hex bits and higher torque. Always check that the fastener is suitable for impact operation.
Will these Genius Tools impact hex sockets fit my existing 1/2" drive ratchet or impact wrench?
Yes. All eight sockets feature a standard 1/2" square drive, making them compatible with suitable 1/2" drive hand ratchets, cordless impact wrenches, pneumatic impact tools and matching drive accessories. They will not fit 3/8" or 1/4" drive tools directly without an appropriate adaptor. For powered impact applications, ensure any adaptors or extensions are also impact-rated.
Are Genius Tools impact hex bit sockets covered by the manufacturer's warranty?
Genius Tools offers a manufacturer's warranty against qualifying defects in materials and workmanship on eligible products, subject to its terms and conditions. However, impact bits are specifically excluded from the standard Genius Tools warranty due to the nature of their use and the wear associated with high-torque applications. This exclusion does not affect your statutory consumer rights under UK law.
