中文简体In hand tools like socket sets, wrenches and screwdriver bits, strength is critical – you want a material that will resist breakage when you apply torque (turning force) to the tool and fastener. That is why most sockets are made of a variety of different alloy steels. These are steels that have been infused with small percentages of other material elements in order to give them properties such as hardness, wear resistance or ductility.
Alloys like chromium-vanadium and chromium-molybdenum are used in many of our hand tools because they have the right combination of strength and toughness. Both types of alloy steel are stronger than high-carbon steel but not as hard as stainless steel. They also have a greater resistance to corrosion than regular steel because they have added chromium and vanadium.
After being forged, these alloys undergo heat treating to further tweak their properties. They become harder through a series of heating and cooling stages to a point that they are tough enough to withstand heavy usage, but not too brittle that they break easily.
This process is why our hand tools are so durable and long-lasting. However, despite the hardiness of these alloys, they can still rust over time. This is why many of our sockets are coated with a layer of chrome to help them resist corrosion and maintain their luster for years to come.
If you have tools that are exposed to moisture, the best solution is to keep them in a well-designed storage and accessorizing system. That includes sturdy workshop shelves, drawers and boxes that will provide the ideal environment to protect your tools from rust and other damage.
If you want to make sure that you have the highest quality hand tools in your home or workshop, we recommend investing in a set of Fachmayer Max PRO ratchets and sockets. These are manufactured from Cr-V alloy, have a hex key set and are packaged in a suitcase that makes it easy to store and organize your tools. This set includes 16 1/2 "sockets, 2 extensions and a wrench plus spark plug sockets, making it ideal for most everyday tasks. It also features a reversible lever for easier use and a sliding handle for working in tight spaces.
