Selling points

Sets are available in the most popular fastener types including Torx, metric hex, and triple square, and include a variety of long and short bits.
Each set is packaged in a custom-cut foam tray that securely stores each tool and displays its size. The accented color-coding shows each set type, displaying Torx as green, metric hex as orange, and triple square as purple.
Each bit is made in the USA from S2 tool steel with proprietary heat treatment for superior strength and durability and is precision CNC machined to industry specifications with tight tolerances for sure and reliable fastener engagement, reducing the risk of stripping screws or damaging fasteners.
Sockets, globally sourced, are plated with fully polished chrome to offer enhanced corrosion resistance.
The high-quality materials ensure that the bits are long-lasting and can withstand heavy use without wearing out quickly.

The tray is solvent-resistant for on-the-job durability.

Designed to fit standard ratchets and power tools, these sets can be used with a variety of equipment already owned by the technician.

Origin

These sets were developed due to the need/request for higher quality insert socket bits available as sets that were reasonably priced. The foam component was to offer organization over simple packaging that also provided improved functionality and durability over plastic trays. Since the pieces in insert socket bit sets can easily become misplaced or unorganized due to their small size and the number of pieces typically included in a set, the custom-cut foam tray keeps everything organized, easily accessible, and conveniently stored.

Manufacturing/engineering specifications

The bits are made in Mayhew’s Florida location on CNC machines and the sets are assembled at the same location. The weights of each set of tools in the foam tray are: No. 16063F – 5.15 lb, No. 16065F – 5.4 lb, and No. 16066F – 6.3 lb. Each bit is made from S2 tool steel with proprietary heat treatment for superior strength and durability, and the sockets are chrome plated.

Storage and display

All three sets can be ordered in single units. The sets are shrink-wrapped and packaged in full-color boxes allowing them to be displayed in or out of the package/box and either with or without the shrink wrapping. The box includes an image of the set so the tech on the truck will be able to quickly identify what is in the package just from looking at the box.
