Differential Gear Socket Set for Mercedes-Benz – 1/2-Inch Drive
Brief Overview
This specialized 5-piece socket set is engineered specifically for Mercedes-Benz differential and hub work on both front and rear axles. The Cr-Mo construction delivers the durability required for high-torque fastener applications, while the multi-tab engagement design prevents slipping on slotted differential nuts—a critical feature that separates professional-grade tools from inferior alternatives. The set comes organized in a durable blue hinged storage case, protecting your investment and ensuring all five pieces remain accounted for on the job site.
For shops handling comprehensive Mercedes-Benz service work, this set pairs effectively with multi-point socket solutions for injection systems and heavy-duty axle fastener tools to cover the full range of drivetrain maintenance.
