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

Equip your workshop with the AF socket coverage it needs for classic, vintage, and American vehicle work with the Draper Expert 13-Piece Imperial Socket Set (H13A/SR) — a professional-grade 1/2" drive set spanning the full range of standard imperial sizes from 7/16" to 1-1/8", mounted on a durable metal socket rail built for secure, permanent workshop installation.

Imperial Coverage for the Demands of the Modern Workshop

Despite the global dominance of metric fastener standards, imperial AF fixings remain a daily reality for workshops servicing classic British and American vehicles, vintage motorcycles, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and older industrial plant. The H13A/SR covers 13 standard AF sizes from 7/16" through to 1-1/8" — providing the complete imperial socket range for 1/2" drive applications, and making it the natural companion to a metric socket set for workshops that need to work confidently and efficiently across both measurement systems without compromise.

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

The 1/2" square drive provides the torque capacity needed for the larger, more heavily fastened imperial fixings typically encountered in automotive, agricultural, and industrial AF applications — from wheel nuts and hub assemblies through to suspension components, drivetrain fixings, and structural bolts where the higher torque demands of larger AF sizes require a full 1/2" drive tool and socket combination.

Chrome Vanadium Steel — Hardened, Tempered and Micro Satin Finished

All 13 sockets are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, hardened and tempered for the lasting strength and durability expected from a professional-grade imperial socket set. A micro satin chrome plate finish provides reliable corrosion protection alongside a refined, low-glare surface appearance — practical in brightly lit workshop environments and more resistant to fingerprinting and light surface contamination than standard high-polish alternatives throughout regular daily use.

Knurled Ring for Fast, Confident Socket Changes

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

Metal Socket Rail — Built for Permanent Workshop Organisation

The H13A/SR is supplied on a metal socket rail, offering the rigidity and long-term durability that a professional 1/2" drive imperial socket set of this calibre demands. The metal construction handles the weight of full-size 1/2" drive sockets without the flexing, cracking, or clip fatigue that plastic hanging rails develop over time under sustained load and repeated daily use. Wall or pegboard mounted — ideally alongside a metric equivalent — the metal rail keeps the complete set permanently organised by size, clearly laid out, and immediately accessible throughout the working day as a functional and professional workshop fixture.

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 across demanding workshop applications.
