New Festool 2022 Promo Socket Set

Festool has come out with a brand new “restricted version” mechanics device set – a ratchet and socket set – that’s fitted in a blue Systainer.

Thanks to everybody who wrote in about this!

Festool shouldn’t be identified for his or her hand instruments, however they have an inclination to launch issues like this occasionally.

The Festool restricted version socket set, mannequin 577135, seems to be in inventory at each Festool on-line retailer and seller that I checked. However, because it’s a restricted version, the set isn’t a commonly carried product and received’t be round perpetually.

Festool describes this as a complete set consisting of ratchets, sockets, and bits in several sizes.

The device set comes with each SAE and metric sockets, with 1/4″ and 1/2″ drive instruments. Sorry, there’s no 3/8″.

However, you do get a full vary of socket sizes, and so there’s some fact to Festool’s claims of the set being complete.

Right here’s what you get:

• 1/4″ and 1/2″ ratchets (72T for five° swing arc)
• Metric sockets 5 to 22mm
  • 1/4″ – 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 mm
  • 1/2″ – 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 mm
• SAE sockets 5/32″ to 1″
  • 1/4″ – 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 9/32, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, 13/32, 1/2 inch
  • 1/2″ – 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1 inch
• 1/4″ 75 and 150mm extensions
• 1/2″ 100 and 250mm extensions
• 1/2″ common wobble joint
• 1/4″ reversible bit ratchet
• 1/4″ adapter for sockets
• Stubby screwdriver with bit holder
• (20) 1-inch 1/4″ hex insert screwdriver bits
  • PH 1, PH 2, PH 3, PZ 1, PZ 2, PZ 3, TX 10, TX 15, TX 20, TX 25, TX 30, TX 40, SQ 1, SQ 2, SQ 3, HEX 4 mm, HEX 5 mm, HEX 6 mm, Slot 0.8 mm, Slot 1.2 mm
• Customized foam insert
• Blue Systainer3 device case

Hmm, it appears just like the set’s not as complete because it might be. You get 13/32″, however no 7/16″, which is a regular wrench and socket measurement for 1/4″-threaded nuts and bolts.

closeup photos of the set contents, it actually does appear to be missing 7/16″.

You get all 6pt sockets, and the drive instruments look affordable. The ratchets have screwdriver-style handles, and the sockets and extensions all have knurling for simpler hand-turning.

Whenever you bear in mind every little thing that you simply get, and the neatly organized Systainer device field, the set appears to be a good worth.

I’d be extra inclined to go along with one thing completely different, corresponding to Wera’s glorious drive size-specific inch or metric socket units, however I do see some enchantment on this Festool providing.

In case you’re on the fence, take a while to consider it. It is a restricted version product, which often take a little bit of time for Festool to promote by way of, however there’s no strategy to inform how lengthy it will likely be accessible for.

In case you purchased a set, what do you concentrate on it?
