Extra mass = extra bite: Laser Tools’ new Weighted Socket Set for professional workshops

Building on the success of their original weighted socket set (part number 8953), Laser Tools has responded to customer demand with a new, expanded 6-piece collection: the new Weighted Socket Set (part number 9172). Designed specifically for high-torque applications such as crankshaft pulley bolts, these heavy-duty sockets deliver maximum impact efficiency where standard sockets can fall short.

Unlike standard impact sockets, these weighted sockets feature extra mass built into the body, giving them a distinct performance advantage. The additional weight reduces the amount of energy lost to socket flex and distortion, allowing far more of the impact gun’s torque to be delivered directly to the fixing. The result? Faster, cleaner removal of even the most stubborn crankshaft pulley bolts — without overworking your gun or operator.

 

Manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel for maximum strength and durability, the 9172 sockets feature a single-hex (6-point) profile for secure engagement. At 97mm in length, they’re built to withstand the punishment of heavy workshop use while giving technicians the edge in difficult jobs.

Applications include Ford (including Transit), GM, Honda, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Toyota and many more. Set contents: 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, and 24mm — all 1/2" drive.

The Laser Tools 9172 Weighted Socket Set gives workshops a stronger, more effective way to deal with the toughest fixings, making it a must-have addition for technicians who regularly face crankshaft pulley bolts and other stubborn high-torque applications.
