{"product_id":"teng-tools-1-4-drive-9mm-socket","title":"Teng Tools 1\/4\" Drive 9mm Socket","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eWhen tackling precision mechanical tasks, having reliable, high-quality hand tools makes all the difference in efficiency and safety. The Teng Tools 1\/4\" Drive 9mm Socket is a fundamental component for any metric toolkit, tailored specifically to fit 9mm hex fasteners with maximum contact and minimal play. Manufactured strictly to industrial standards, this socket embodies the durability and thoughtful engineering that tradespeople expect from the Teng Tools brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eThe foundation of this socket's performance lies in its robust chrome vanadium steel construction. Heat-treated to optimum hardness, the steel withstands consistent professional use without splitting or stripping. To protect the metal from shop fluids, grease, and moisture, the surface is treated with a specialized satin finish. Unlike polished chrome, which can become slick when exposed to oil, the satin texture provides a tactile surface that is easier to grip with gloved or greasy hands, while also reducing harsh reflections under overhead shop lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eA critical design element of the socket is its internal geometry. By distributing rotational force across the flat walls of the hex fastener rather than applying pressure directly to the delicate corners, the socket delivers maximum torque output without damaging the fastener head. This feature is especially valuable when working on old, rusted, or slightly worn fasteners that are prone to rounding off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eFurthermore, the 1\/4\" drive size makes this 9mm socket ideal for low-clearance areas and delicate assemblies where bulky 3\/8\" or 1\/2\" drive tools cannot fit. From light automotive trim and motorcycle maintenance to intricate equipment assembly, this socket offers the ideal balance of maneuverability and strength. Integrated knurling along the socket circumference enables rapid manual threading before attaching a ratchet, helping you speed through assembly and teardown tasks effortlessly. Upgrading your socket collection with Teng Tools ensures every turn is solid, precise, and dependable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teng Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55693364691320,"sku":"M140509-C","price":2.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/8658\/1049\/files\/m140509-c.jpg?v=1791377585","url":"https:\/\/www.electrosw.co.uk\/products\/teng-tools-1-4-drive-9mm-socket","provider":"Electro South West Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
