What Materials Are the Sockets Made from?

The 10 mm sockets are crafted from chrome-plated Cr-V steel (chromium-vanadium steel) with a polished chrome finish, a material renowned for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

Cr-V steel can withstand heavy use in professional settings, so these sockets won’t crack or wear prematurely.

The chrome-plated finish provides a protective layer against rust, so the sockets last a long time, even in garages, workshops, and outdoor environments.

And, why a polished finish? Not only does the polished surface look great, but it also makes cleaning the sockets quick and easy after greasy or dirty jobs.

With their superior materials and construction, these chrome-plated, polished sockets are built to last.

How Do I Choose the Correct Socket Depth?

This product comes in two socket styles, deep and shallow. Here’s which socket type you should choose to have the ultimate socket for any type of job:

What Tasks Are Shallow 10 mm Sockets for?

Shallow 10 mm sockets are for working in a limited space or for general use. These sockets easily handle fasteners in tight areas, such as under the hood of a car or within confined machinery. Our socket set comes in 1/4 and 3/8-inch drive shallow varieties.

Because of their compact design, shallow sockets are useful for quick jobs that don’t require you to reach deeply recessed bolts or hard-to-reach nuts. Whether you're working on brake calipers, engine covers, or other accessible fasteners, shallow 10 mm sockets allow you to maneuver easily in cramped spaces without compromising precision or torque.

What Tasks Are Deep 10 mm Sockets for?

Deep 10 mm sockets reach recessed or long bolts. These sockets provide extra depth to handle the jobs that shallow sockets can’t. Our 10 mm deep metric sockets come in 1/4 and 3/8-inch drive varieties.

If you frequently work on spark plugs, suspension bolts, or fasteners surrounded by obstructions, deep 10 mm sockets will allow you to access hard-to-reach areas with ease while maintaining a secure grip and consistent torque.

Are These Sockets 6-Point or 12-Point?

The sockets in this set feature a 6-point metric standard socket design, carefully engineered to maximize strength and reliability during use.

A 6-point socket grips fasteners along their flat sides, rather than the corners, which are more prone to damage. By applying force to the broader, more stable surfaces of a bolt or nut, the 6-point design minimizes the risk of rounding off fasteners, even when high torque is required. This makes them especially effective for stubborn, rusted, or heavily torqued bolts.

The 6-point design also naturally aligns with the hexagonal shape of most fasteners, which creates a snug fit. This tight connection reduces the likelihood of slipping and provides greater control and efficiency during tasks.

Does the 10 mm Socket Set Work With Impact Tools?

The metric socket set works with hand tools rather than impact tools. These sockets are crafted from chrome-plated Cr-V steel, which is ideal for durability and corrosion resistance in hand tool applications but not built to withstand the intense torque and vibrations of impact tools.

For impact applications, use sockets made from specialized materials such as Cr-Mo (chromium-molybdenum steel) that are heat-treated for added toughness. Using chrome sockets with impact tools can result in cracking or damage, both to the sockets and the tools themselves.

If you're in need of impact-rated 10 mm sockets, we also offer a range of impact sockets designed specifically for high-torque scenarios. These sockets provide the strength and reliability required for heavy-duty jobs.

How To Take Care of the 10 mm Socket Set

To keep your 10 mm Socket Set in excellent condition, follow these care tips:

1. Clean after every use: Wipe your sockets with tool wipes or a clean cloth after each use to remove grease, oil, or dirt. For stubborn grime, use a mild degreaser, and make sure the sockets are fully dried afterward to prevent moisture damage.
2. Store properly: Always store your sockets in secure tool organizers. Keeping them organized prevents loss and protects them from scratches or damage when not in use.
3. Prevent rust: The corrosion-resistant chrome plated finish provides natural rust resistance, but for added corrosion resistance, especially in humid environments, apply a light coat of rust-inhibiting oil periodically.
4. Avoid misuse: These sockets are designed for hand tools, not impact tools. Using them with impact drivers or ratchets can crack or damage the sockets.
5. Inspect for wear: Regularly check your sockets for signs of cracks, warping, or other damage. Replace any compromised sockets to maintain safety and performance.
6. Handle with care: Don’t drop your sockets onto hard surfaces, as this can chip the chrome plating or compromise their structural integrity.

With proper care, your 10 mm socket set will remain a reliable and long-lasting part of your toolbox, ready to tackle any job.

What Is the Equivalent of 10 mm to SAE?

The metric measurement of 10 mm is roughly equivalent to 3/8 inch in SAE socket sizing. While 10 mm and 3/8 inch are not identical, the two sizes are close enough to be used interchangeably for many applications.

For precision work, always use the size specified to avoid damaging fasteners or tools. If you’re in need of a high-quality set of SAE chrome sockets, check out our chrome socket set that comes in 1/2, 1/4, and 3/8-inch drives.

Does Olsa Tools Carry Magnetic Impact Sockets?

We do carry magnetic impact sockets. The sockets in our no-sizes-skipped impact socket set come with a magnetic organizer that keeps them securely in place and ready for you to use whenever you work with high-impact tools. These sockets are made from chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel, a ferrous metal that has magnetic capabilities.

Does Olsa Tools Carry a Durable Socket Rail for the 10 mm Socket Set?

Yes, we do carry magnetic socket rails that provide durable, convenient storage for your new 10 mm socket set. Check out our sturdy socket rails and other tool organizers for sockets in our socket organizers collection.

What Should I Gift With Metric Sockets?

Metric sockets are a fantastic gift for fathers, brothers, husbands, or any professional mechanic or home and auto repair enthusiast. Socket organizers, socket extensions, and adapters for sockets are all great additions to any mechanic’s toolbox. Alternatively, our 120-tooth ratcheting wrench set is a great additional gift, due to the 6-point design featured in both products.

Does Olsa Tools Offer a Universal Joint for Hardware in Awkward Spaces?

Yes, we do offer free-moving universal joints for difficult hardware that can’t be accessed with regular sockets. Our universal socket adapters have a 45-degree swivel and come in chrome and impact varieties, and you can also get a wobble socket extension for even more assistance.

Does Olsa Tools Carry a Ratchet Wrench?

Yes, we do carry ratcheting wrenches. Check out our collection of professional-grade ratcheting wrenches here, featuring stubby and longer ratchet wrench varieties.
