Performance Tool W38194 3/8" Drive Universal Spline Socket Set , 10 piece Metric and SAE
Performance Tool spline sockets are designed to service spline fasteners. They can also be used instead of a conventional socket (4, 6 point and 12 point sockets). On spline fasteners: Spline sockets on spline fasteners help deliver twice the torque of 12 pt. wrenches on double hex fasteners, helping tighten high strength bolts to high torque loads. The contact between the splines and the flat part of the fastener is away from the corners of the fastener helping to prevent rounding and scoring. By moving the torque load away from the corners, where the fastener is weakest, spline sockets also help provide more torque than hex sockets on hex fasteners. Additionally, since the contact between the fastener and the socket is away from the corners, spline sockets can also be used to turn fasteners with damaged corners. They can be tightened to high torque loads, and are thus used widely on military and commercial aircraft, where space and torque are important, in heavy machinery applications where vibration is prevalent, and in automotive and industrial areas in which high performance torque needs to be achieved.
