Comparison OMBRA OMT82S12 vs Force 4941R

The total number of core items included in the set.

In this case, the main items are all devices that are directly used during work: non-separable tools (traditional wrenches, hammers, pliers ...), elements of collapsible tools (for example, a ratchet for removable heads and 5 such heads will be considered 6 units) , as well as accessories (such as extensions or universal joints). Additional accessories — such as lights — may or may not be included in this count, depending on the manufacturer; however, there are usually few such accessories, and they do not fundamentally affect the total number of items.

The most modest modern tool kits include up to 25 units. However, such kits are very popular — they are inexpensive and at the same time can be very versatile. 25 – 50 items is still quite a small number, 50 – 75 pcs can be called an average, 76 – 100 items are more than average, and the most extensive modern sets can include 100 – 150 items or even more.

The general rules for choosing this parameter are obvious: a more extensive set, usually, is more multifunctional, but more expensive, weighs more and takes up more space. It is also worth bearing in mind that with a similar number of items, the specific assortment of these items in differ...ent sets may be different; so when choosing, it is worth specifying not only the number of tools, but also their specific composition.

Number of hex sockets included in the tool kit.

All end heads are accessories for a collapsible tool; during operation, they are mounted on a ratchet, wrench or other similar device. The head itself has the appearance of a characteristic “cap”, which, during operation, is put on a bolt, nut, etc. This design, among other things, allows you to work with parts located in recesses and some other hard-to-reach places that cannot be reached with open-ended, captive or split keys. And compared to a set of classic socket wrenches, the holder plus socket set takes up much less space, providing almost the same functionality.

As for the 6 faces, this type of socket head is the most famous and widespread, because. most modern nuts and bolts have this shape.

Working size range of hex sockets (see above) supplied with the kit. This parameter allows you to evaluate how the heads fit the dimensions of the fasteners with which they are planned to be used.

Number of dodecahedral sockets included in the tool kit.

All end heads are accessories for a collapsible tool; during operation, they are mounted on a ratchet, wrench or other similar device. The head itself has the appearance of a characteristic “cap”, which, during operation, is put on a bolt, nut, etc. This design, among other things, allows you to work with parts located in recesses and some other hard-to-reach places that cannot be reached with open-ended, captive or split keys. And compared to a set of classic socket wrenches, the holder plus socket set takes up much less space, providing almost the same functionality.

Specifically, the 12-sided type of socket heads is considered more versatile than the hexagonal one: it makes it possible to work with both classic hexagonal fasteners and, in fact, twelve-sided ones. In addition, to hook the next face, it is enough to rotate such a tool by only 30 ° when rearranging (whereas for 6-sided nozzles this figure is 60 °, and in cramped conditions there may not be room for this). On the other hand, 12-sided parts are quite rare, and when working with hexagonal parts, the contact area is small, which increases the risk of stripping edges and reduces torque.

The number of Surface sockets supplied with the tool kit.

All end heads are accessories for a collapsible tool; during operation, they are mounted on a ratchet, wrench or other similar device. The head itself has the appearance of a characteristic “cap”, which, during operation, is put on a bolt, nut, etc. This design, among other things, allows you to work with parts located in recesses and some other hard-to-reach places that cannot be reached with open-ended, captive or split keys. And compared to a set of classic socket wrenches, the holder plus socket set takes up much less space, providing almost the same functionality.

Specifically, this type of socket is also called SuperLock, or "heads for torn edges." They are intended for hexagonal fasteners and, in accordance with the name, have increased efficiency on heavily worn parts. The working surface of the Surface / SuperLock heads has the form of a circle with six characteristic rounded protrusions, which, when working, are adjacent to the midpoints of the faces of the fastener — due to this, the force is applied not to the corners of the hexagon, but to its sides. This not only allows you to work with stripped edges, but also reduces the risk of failure on intact fasteners; thanks to this, it becomes possible to work with great effort, without fear of damage. On the other hand, this advantage is relevant only if the size of the h...ead strictly corresponds to the size of the part — otherwise, the risk of failure, on the contrary, increases.

The number of bits supplied with the tool kit. A bat in this case is called a working nozzle, which plays the role of a screwdriver tip; in fact, they are most often used with screwdriver handles (see above).

Many types of splines (slots) are used in modern fasteners — starting with the well-known straight, cross-shaped ( Phillips and Pozidriv), Torx sprockets and ending with exotics like Torq-set (a cross with lines shifted from the centre), Pentalobe (with five ledges), etc. .P. In addition, the size of the slots can also vary, and in many cases, tool matching in size is very important. Accordingly, the more bits supplied with the set, the more versatile it is, the higher the probability that it will contain a nozzle of the desired type and size. However, the specific list of bits in the kit also does not hurt to clarify — in order to make sure that it has all the varieties you need. In the characteristics of individual sets, these data are given in the paragraph "Bit sizes" (see below).

An adapter for docking seemingly incompatible elements from a set. For example, socket heads with an unsuitable landing square on a ratchet, screwdriver handle or in a drill driver. The adapter provides full-fledged work with all the required list of tools from the set.
