Frequently asked questions

Common questions about WESTWARD from 3G Electric.

What materials and finishes are used on WESTWARD combination wrenches?

WESTWARD combination wrenches are typically made from alloy steel. Finishes include satin (a brushed, non-reflective surface) and black oxide (a chemical conversion coating that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces glare). These finishes are selected for durability in shop environments and do not add significant thickness, ensuring proper fit on fasteners.

Are WESTWARD impact sockets suitable for use with impact wrenches?

Yes, WESTWARD impact sockets are designed for use with impact tools. They feature a manganese phosphate finish, which provides wear resistance and helps retain lubricant. The sockets are constructed with thicker walls than standard hand sockets to withstand the high torque and vibration from impact drivers. They are available in SAE sizes and 6-point configurations.

What is the difference between WESTWARD hand sockets and impact sockets?

WESTWARD hand sockets are made from chrome-plated steel and are intended for manual ratchets and wrenches. They have thinner walls for access to tight spaces. WESTWARD impact sockets are made from a tougher alloy steel with a manganese phosphate finish, have thicker walls, and are designed to absorb the shock of impact tools. Using hand sockets with impact tools can cause cracking or failure.

Does WESTWARD offer metric and SAE wrench sizes?

Yes, WESTWARD offers both SAE (inch) and metric combination wrenches. SAE sizes include 9/16 in and 1 in, while metric sizes include 23 mm. These wrenches are available in 12-point configurations and offset designs for improved access to fasteners. The brand covers a range of common sizes used in industrial maintenance.

What is included in a WESTWARD machine clamping kit?

A WESTWARD machine clamping kit, such as SKU 19T325, includes components for securing workpieces to machine tables with T-slots. The 66-piece kit contains studs (e.g., six 5-inch studs), flanged nuts, T-slot nuts, and step clamps. It is designed for 1/2 in T-slots and 1/2"-13 studs, providing a complete set for common milling and drilling setups.

Are WESTWARD hex keys available in sets or individual packs?

WESTWARD hex keys are available in both individual and multi-pack configurations. For example, SKU 40WY82 is a 10-pack of L-shaped hex keys with a 1/8 in tip size, SAE, long length, made from alloy steel with a black oxide finish. The ball-end design allows for angled entry into fasteners. Other sizes and pack quantities may be available through 3G Electric.
