Draper Expert Imperial Deep Socket on a Metal Rail, 1/2" Sq. Dr. (13 Piece)

The professional's choice for imperial deep socket coverage — the Draper Expert 13-Piece Imperial Deep Socket Set (H13AD/SR) combines the extended reach capability of deep socket engineering with full AF size coverage from 7/16" to 1-1/8", all mounted on a durable metal socket rail built for permanent, secure workshop installation.

Where the standard imperial socket set (H13A/SR) provides the everyday AF coverage most workshops need, the H13AD/SR goes further — delivering the additional internal depth required to fully engage imperial fasteners on extended bolts, threaded studs, and recessed nuts that standard-depth sockets simply cannot reach. For workshops working regularly on classic vehicles, American imports, agricultural machinery, and older industrial equipment, this deep format set is the more capable and versatile choice.

Deep Format for Full Fastener Engagement

Every socket in this set is a deep format, providing the extended internal clearance needed to seat fully on AF fasteners with protruding thread, recessed access, or extended bolt length — situations encountered regularly when working on older vehicles and machinery where non-standard assemblies, thread damage, and corrosion add further challenge to what would otherwise be a straightforward removal task. The deep socket format ensures full, secure engagement regardless of what the fastener presents, reducing the risk of slippage and the fastener damage that follows.

Complete Imperial Coverage — 7/16" to 1-1/8"

With 13 standard AF sizes spanning 7/16" through to 1-1/8", this set provides comprehensive imperial deep socket coverage across the full 1/2" drive range — from the smaller AF sizes used on lighter components and ancillary fixings through to the larger 1" and above sizes required for wheel hubs, axle components, and heavy structural fasteners on classic and American vehicle platforms. The H13AD/SR eliminates the need to supplement a standard depth set with individual deep socket purchases across the imperial range.

1/2" Square Drive for High-Torque Imperial Applications

The 1/2" square drive delivers the torque capacity demanded by larger AF fasteners — particularly important on the upper end of this size range where the combination of deep socket format, larger fastener diameter, and higher assembly torque places significant demands on both the socket and the drive tool. The 1/2" drive platform provides the mechanical advantage and strength needed to work confidently across the full 7/16" to 1-1/8" AF range in deep socket format.

Chrome Vanadium Steel — Hardened, Tempered and Satin Chrome Plated

All 13 sockets are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, hardened and tempered for lasting strength and durability across the full range of 1/2" drive applications. A satin chrome plate finish provides reliable corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance — ensuring the set retains its quality and performance through years of demanding workshop use, including the penetrating oils, moisture, and brake dust exposure typical of classic vehicle and agricultural maintenance environments.

Knurled Ring for Confident, One-Handed Socket Changes

Every socket features a knurled grip ring, providing a positive tactile surface for secure one-handed handling during fitting and removal by hand. When working through a sequence of different AF sizes on a complex repair, the knurled ring accelerates socket selection and changes — maintaining confident, sure-footed grip even with oily, damp, or gloved hands throughout the working day.

Metal Socket Rail — Secure, Permanent Workshop Organisation

The H13AD/SR is supplied on a metal socket rail that provides the rigidity and long-term durability that a professional 1/2" drive deep socket set of this calibre warrants. The metal construction handles the additional weight of larger 1/2" drive deep sockets without the flexing, cracking, or clip fatigue that plastic hanging rails develop over time under sustained load. Wall or pegboard mounted — ideally alongside the H13A/SR standard depth companion set — the metal rail keeps the complete deep socket set permanently organised by size and immediately accessible as a dedicated imperial deep socket station within the workshop.

Manufactured to DIN3122 and ISO3315 Standards

The set is manufactured and tested generally in accordance with DIN3122 and ISO3315 specifications, providing professional users with confidence in the quality, consistency, and performance of every socket.
