Elora Metric, Whitworth and Imperial Socket Set, 1/2" Sq. Dr. (58 Piece)

The Elora 58-Piece Metric, Whitworth & Imperial Socket Set, 1/2" Square Drive (770-LSSMF) is the comprehensive flagship socket set for professionals who refuse to compromise on fastener system coverage. Combining all three major fastener systems — 21 metric sockets (10–32mm), 18 imperial AF sockets (3/8" to 1.1/4"), and 6 Whitworth sockets (3/16" to 1/2" WW) — alongside a complete accessory pack including spark plug sockets, three extension bars, flexible handle, speed brace, offset handle, drive converter, drag link socket, sliding T-bar, and universal joint, the 770-LSSMF is the kind of definitive professional socket set that handles virtually any fastener challenge a workshop is likely to face.

Manufactured from chrome vanadium steel — hardened, tempered, and chrome plated — and supplied in a heavy-gauge steel storage case, the 770-LSSMF represents the ultimate expression of Elora's commitment to professional-quality hand tools dating back to 1924.

Three Fastener Systems, One Comprehensive Set

Few socket sets attempt to cover all three of the major fastener systems encountered in real-world workshop life. The 770-LSSMF is built specifically for the workshop that genuinely faces all three:

Metric (mm)

The dominant standard for modern vehicles, machinery, and equipment built since approximately the 1970s. The 770-LSSMF's 21-socket metric range from 10mm to 32mm covers virtually every common metric fastener in serious workshop work.

Imperial AF (Across Flats, in inches)

Used on American vehicles past and present, classic British vehicles, older agricultural and plant equipment, marine applications, plumbing, aviation, and many specialist applications. The 770-LSSMF's 18-socket AF range from 3/8" to 1.1/4" covers comprehensive imperial work.

Whitworth (WW)

The classic British fastener standard used on vehicles, motorcycles, and machinery from the late 1800s through approximately the 1960s. Whitworth fasteners use a completely different sizing convention from AF — a 1/4" Whitworth bolt is NOT the same as a 1/4" AF bolt. Many classic British vehicles use Whitworth fasteners that cannot be properly fitted with AF or metric sockets. The 770-LSSMF's 6-socket Whitworth range from 3/16" to 1/2" WW addresses this specialist requirement directly.

Whitworth: Why It Matters

For classic British vehicle restoration — pre-1960s cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles built when Whitworth was the British standard — having proper Whitworth sockets is not a luxury. It's essential. Whitworth fasteners have a different head sizing convention from AF imperial, and attempting to fit AF or metric sockets to Whitworth fasteners typically results in damaged fastener heads and damaged tools.

Genuine Whitworth-equipped vehicles include:

• Pre-1960s British cars — many Austin, Morris, MG, Jaguar, Triumph, Rover, and Wolseley vehicles
• Classic British motorcycles — BSA, Triumph, Norton, Royal Enfield, Ariel, AJS, Matchless
• Pre-1960s commercial vehicles — Bedford, Austin, Morris, Leyland
• Vintage agricultural machinery — older British tractors and equipment
• Industrial machinery — older British-built equipment

For specialists working on these vehicles, the 770-LSSMF is one of the very few socket sets that provides genuine professional-quality coverage of all three fastener systems in a single kit.

Built to the Elora Standard

Elora has been manufacturing professional-quality hand tools in Germany since 1924, and the brand is synonymous with the build quality and precision that serious trade users demand. The 770-LSSMF is manufactured to recognised international standards:

• DIN 3120 / ISO 1174 — socket drive square specification
• DIN 3122 / ISO 3315 — hand-operated socket wrench specification
• DIN 3123 / ISO 3316 — extension bar specification
• DIN 3124 / ISO 2725 — universal joint specification

This isn't a set of tools that "looks" professional — it's a set built and certified to the same standards used by professional mechanical industries worldwide.

Chrome Vanadium Steel Construction

The 770-LSSMF is built around chrome vanadium steel — the standard alloy for high-quality hand tools because of its excellent combination of strength, toughness, and durability. Every socket and accessory is hardened, tempered, and chrome plated for the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and durability that years of professional use demand. The result is sockets that hold their precision over decades of use and continue to look like professional kit long after lesser tools have failed.

Bi-Hexagon Sockets Throughout

All 45 hexagon sockets in the 770-LSSMF are bi-hexagon (12-point) design — providing:

• Better access angles — engagement at 12 positions means just 30° of arc between positions
• Easier fitment on damaged fasteners — particularly valuable on aged classic vehicle fasteners
• Faster work — engagement at any of 12 positions speeds up working blind
• Compatibility with both hexagon and 12-point fasteners

For classic vehicle work, where original fasteners are often weathered, corroded, or partially seized, the bi-hex design is particularly valuable.

Comprehensive Socket Coverage

21 x Metric Bi-Hexagon Sockets

10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32mm

A genuinely comprehensive metric range — including unusual sizes like 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, and 28mm that many sets omit but that occasionally prove essential on specific applications.

18 x Imperial AF Bi-Hexagon Sockets

3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 19/32, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 25/32, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 31/32, 1, 1.1/16, 1.1/8, 1.3/16, 1.1/4" AF

Full imperial coverage including the less-common but professionally useful 19/32", 25/32", and 31/32" sizes that appear on classic vehicles and specialist applications.

6 x Whitworth Bi-Hexagon Sockets

3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2" WW

Professional Whitworth coverage for classic British vehicle and motorcycle work — sizes correctly designated as WW (Whitworth) to distinguish them from AF imperial.

2 x Spark Plug Sockets

10mm and 14mm

The two most common spark plug socket sizes — covering virtually all modern petrol engines (14mm) and most modern motorcycle and small engine plugs (10mm). Spark plug sockets are designed with proper depth and (in quality versions) internal rubber inserts to protect porcelain insulators.

Comprehensive Accessory Pack

The 770-LSSMF's accessory selection goes far beyond basic socket sets, transforming this into a genuinely versatile working kit:

• 32-Tooth Reversible Ratchet with Quatrolit® soft-grip handle for primary driving
• 3 x Extension Bars — 75mm, 125mm, and 250mm — covering the full range of access depths
• Sliding T-Bar for balanced two-handed leverage
• Flexible Handle for awkward-angle access where straight handles can't operate
• Universal Joint for accessing fasteners at angles
• Speed Brace for rapid hand-operated turning of loose fasteners — vastly faster than ratcheting on long runs of thread
• Offset Handle for clearance-restricted access
• 1/2" (F) x 3/8" (M) Drive Converter — allows the 770-LSSMF's ratchet and accessories to drive 3/8" drive sockets and accessories, extending versatility significantly
• 19 x 3mm Drag Link Socket — a specialist tool used for adjusting drag links and steering components, particularly on commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, and older vehicles where these adjustments remain part of regular service work

The inclusion of the drag link socket is particularly noteworthy — it's the kind of specialist tool that's exactly what you need exactly when you need it, and impossible to find at short notice if your set doesn't include it.

32-Tooth Reversible Ratchet with Quatrolit® Soft-Grip Handle

The included 32-tooth reversible ratchet delivers the smooth, robust action expected of Elora's German engineering. The 32-tooth mechanism provides strong, reliable engagement particularly suited to the higher torque levels that 1/2" drive heavy-duty work demands. The reversible function allows quick changes between tightening and loosening without removing the socket from the fastener.

The Quatrolit® soft-grip handle is an Elora signature — providing exceptional grip even with oily, greasy, or wet hands, while remaining comfortable for extended use. For heavy-duty 1/2" drive work, where significant force is regularly applied through the handle, the Quatrolit® design proves its worth on every job.

Heavy-Gauge Steel Storage Case

The 770-LSSMF is supplied in a heavy-gauge steel storage case — the proper presentation for a definitive professional socket set. The case provides genuine protection during transport and storage, with every socket and accessory in its dedicated location for easy identification and quick selection. The overall presentation reflects the quality of the tools inside.
