Every socket is forged from chromium-molybdenum steel and finished with a black phosphate coating to resist chipping and corrosion. The set includes seven deep 6-point metric sockets sized 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36mm, a 1\/2\" drive configuration, plus a 3\/8\"–1\/2\" adapter and universal joint for added versatility.
