Frequently asked questions

Which socket set do I need as a car mechanic?

For automotive work, a set with 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drives covering socket sizes 4–32 mm is recommended. A good starter set contains at least 80–100 pieces including extensions, ratchet and universal joints.

What is the difference between 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drives?

The 1/4" drive is suited for small fasteners and tight spaces. The 3/8" drive is the most versatile and covers the majority of automotive work. The 1/2" drive is designed for heavy fasteners such as wheel nuts or suspension components.

What quality levels are available for hand tools?

Typically, a distinction is made between DIY, professional and industrial quality. PICHLER hand tools are aimed at professional and industrial users: manufactured from chrome-vanadium steel with precise tolerances and surface finishing for long service life.

Is there a warranty on PICHLER hand tools?

Yes, PICHLER provides a tool warranty on its hand tools. Tools with material or manufacturing defects are replaced free of charge. Details on warranty duration and handling are available from your specialist dealer or directly from PICHLER.

Are the tools protected against breaking?

PICHLER hand tools are manufactured from high-quality chrome-vanadium steel and undergo strict quality testing. Ratchets and ratchet heads are rated for defined maximum torques to minimise overload damage.

Which open-end spanner sizes do I need most often?

In the automotive sector, the most commonly needed sizes are 8, 10, 13, 17 and 19 mm. A complete set from 6–32 mm covers virtually all tasks on cars and light commercial vehicles.
