Drive them with the included pass-through ratchet, or with a 19 mm wrench on the outer hex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the two adapters for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey let the pass-through ratchet drive your own standard 3\/8 in or 1\/2 in sockets (not included). With an adapter fitted, the set no longer works as a pass-through tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the set include 20 mm, 23 mm or SAE sizes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The sizes are 10 to 19, 21, 22 and 24 mm, metric only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is a pass-through socket different from a deep socket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deep socket is closed at the drive end, so a stud longer than the socket stops it from reaching the nut. A pass-through socket is open all the way, so a long stud can pass up through it while the socket seats on the nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I hold a strut rod while I turn the top nut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that is the main reason to use a pass-through socket: the rod comes up through the socket and ratchet, so you can hold it while you turn the nut. Before you remove a strut top nut, follow your vehicle's service manual and make sure the spring is safely compressed. Remove all tools from the engine bay and suspension before driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use on live electrical circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove all tools from the engine bay and suspension before driving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWarranty: the set comes with a 1-year warranty.
