179-Piece Socket Set with 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" Drives

Brief Overview

This is a serious workhorse for any shop stocking versatile socket sets. The 179-piece configuration covers three drive sizes (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") with metric socket ranges, E-TORX options, spark plug sockets, and a full spectrum of bit accessories. Everything ships in a structured blue plastic carry case with foam inserts—ready to sell or deploy. If your customer base needs a single set that handles everything from small precision work to mid-range fastener removal, this set eliminates the need for multiple complementary kits. It competes directly with comprehensive multi-drive socket collections and complete metric socket assortments in the mid-market segment.

Business Advantages for Resellers

Volume & Versatility = Higher Turnover:

• Single SKU replaces need for multiple smaller sets on your shelf
• Covers 90% of metric fastener scenarios (automotive, small machinery, general maintenance)
• Professional appearance in carry case justifies retail markup and reduces customer hesitation

Stock Efficiency:

• One complete set per order vs. managing 3–4 separate socket kits
• Case design protects contents during shipping and storage, reducing damage claims
• Attracts price-conscious shops wanting to consolidate their tool purchases

Resale Positioning:

• Market as the "one set that does it all" for multi-trade workshops
• Emphasize the Super Lock system (prevents frustrating socket slippage—a common complaint)
• Highlight E-TORX and TORX bit coverage (premium segment feature often expected in professional sets)
