Elora Metric Socket Set, 1/4" Sq. Dr. (31 Piece)

The Elora 31-Piece Metric Socket Set, 1/4" Square Drive (1440-MU) is a professional-quality compact socket set engineered for fine mechanical work where precision, accessibility, and quality matter most. Combining 13 hexagon sockets covering 4.0–14.0mm, 11 screwdriver sockets across plain slot, cross slot, and hexagon patterns, and a complete accessory pack including a 72-tooth reversible ratchet, three extension bars, sliding T-bar, universal joint, and spinner handle, the 1440-MU is built to handle everything from electronics work to motorcycle servicing, model engineering, and precision automotive tasks.

Manufactured from chrome vanadium steel — hardened, tempered, chrome plated and polished — and built to the exacting DIN/ISO specifications expected of Elora tools, the 1440-MU is supplied in a heavy-gauge steel storage case with custom plastic insert that keeps every component organised and protected for years of professional use.

Built to the Elora Standard

Elora has been manufacturing professional-quality hand tools in Germany since 1924, and the brand is synonymous with the kind of build quality and precision that serious trade users demand. The 1440-MU is no exception.

Every socket and tool in the set 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. For users who depend on their tools for precision work, this matters significantly.

Chrome Vanadium Steel Construction

The 1440-MU 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 to provide the wear resistance needed for repeated heavy use
• Tempered to deliver the toughness that prevents brittle failure under load
• Chrome plated for outstanding corrosion resistance and a long-lasting professional finish
• Polished for that distinctive Elora professional appearance and easy cleaning

The result is sockets and accessories that hold their precision over years of professional use, resist the rust and corrosion that quickly degrade lesser tools, and continue to look and feel like quality kit long after cheaper alternatives have been replaced.

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

The included 72-tooth reversible ratchet is one of the standout components of the set. The 72-tooth mechanism delivers a working arc of just 5° — meaning the ratchet can advance the socket in confined spaces where a coarser ratchet simply cannot operate effectively. For work inside engine bays, behind dashboards, or in any restricted-access location, this fine-tooth design transforms productivity.

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. It's a small detail that makes a significant difference on long jobs.

Comprehensive 13-Socket Hexagon Range

The 1440-MU includes a 13-socket hexagon range covering 4.0mm to 14.0mm in practical 0.5–1.0mm increments:

4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0mm

This range covers virtually every common metric fastener encountered in fine mechanical work — from small electronics screws and motorcycle bolts at the lower end through to substantial 14mm fasteners that would normally require a 3/8" drive set. The 1/4" drive format keeps the sockets compact and accessible while still handling the torque needed for everyday fastener work.

Integrated Screwdriver Sockets

A genuine highlight of the 1440-MU is its 11 screwdriver sockets — turning the set into a complete fastener-driving solution that goes far beyond just hexagon sockets:

3 x Plain Slot Screwdriver Sockets: 4.0, 5.5, 6.5mm — for traditional slotted screws across small, medium, and larger fasteners

3 x Cross Slot Screwdriver Sockets: No.1, No.2, No.3 — for the Phillips-pattern screws found throughout modern equipment

5 x Hexagon Screwdriver Sockets: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8mm — for the hex socket (Allen-pattern) screws used extensively in machinery, motorcycles, bicycles, and engineering applications

The advantage of screwdriver sockets over conventional screwdrivers is significant: they can be driven with a ratchet for fast operation, used with an extension bar for difficult-access fasteners, or fitted to a torque wrench for controlled tightening — capabilities that conventional screwdrivers simply cannot offer.

Complete Accessory Pack

The 1440-MU includes a comprehensive accessory selection that turns the basic socket set into a genuinely versatile working kit:

• Reversible Ratchet with 72-tooth mechanism and Quatrolit® soft-grip handle
• 3 x Extension Bars — 50mm, 100mm, and 150mm — for reaching recessed and difficult-access fasteners
• Sliding T-Bar — provides balanced two-handed leverage for tight fasteners and applications where ratchet access isn't possible
• Universal Joint — allows the socket to be angled away from the drive for accessing fasteners at angles
• Spinner Handle — allows rapid hand-turning of sockets for fast removal and installation of loose fasteners

This combination of accessories means the 1440-MU is genuinely ready for whatever challenging fastener access the work throws at it — straight access, angled access, recessed access, and high-volume rapid work are all covered.

Heavy-Gauge Steel Storage Case

The 1440-MU is supplied in a heavy-gauge steel storage case with a custom plastic insert — a significant step up from the plastic blow-moulded cases used for lesser tool sets. The steel case provides genuine protection during transport and storage, the custom plastic insert keeps every socket and accessory in its dedicated location for easy identification and quick selection, and the overall presentation makes this a tool set that's a pleasure to own and use.

Ideal Applications

The 1/4" drive format and comprehensive socket and screwdriver coverage make the 1440-MU perfectly suited to:

• Motorcycle servicing and repair — small fasteners, electrical work, intricate engine components
• Bicycle workshop work — hex bolts, hub fastenings, accessory mounting
• Electronics and instrument work — small fasteners, casing screws, fine assembly
• Model engineering — precision miniature mechanical work
• Domestic appliance repair — washing machines, dishwashers, smaller appliances
• Office equipment maintenance — printers, copiers, IT equipment
• Automotive interior work — dashboard, console, and trim fastenings
• General light mechanical assembly — anywhere precision and access matter more than maximum torque
• Workshop and field servicing — versatile enough for travelling toolkits
