Protecting plated and anodised fasteners 12 August 2024

When working on high-end, show-quality classic vehicles or automotive displays, the fit and finish of the fasteners is just as important as the paint and bodywork. Laser Tools has introduced this specialist non-marring imperial (AF) Socket/Wrench Insert Set designed to protect fasteners.

These inserts are tough and robust, made from a PA6 nylon and glass fibre composite for long-lasting durability. Four imperial sized inserts are included, 3/8 inch to fit a ½ inch socket, 7/16 inch to fit a 9/16 inch socket, ½ inch to fit a 5/8 inch socket, and 9/16 inch to fit a 11/16 inch socket. These inserts can also be used with ring spanners.  

The imperial (AF) sizing makes them ideal for classic cars and motorcycles. A metric version of the set is also available.
