E socket set

[Borealis]

Picked up an E socket set with 14 e sockets. The largest is E24.

I have been stocking up automotive tools whenever I see a bargain, and this was one.

What does it get used for, and how useful are they?

Depends on the car, some Ford's have lots of them, many cars use them for cylinder head bolts (K series for one). One of my cars (Kia) uses them to fix the seats in etc.

You might not use them much but when you do you'll glad you got them.

Used lots on vauxhall (and others).

Make sure they are seated fully before trying to undo anything. Very easy to chew up the bolt head, or the socket if it is cheap type. Can get very difficult to undo if the head gets chewed up.

I use them a lot of my Mercedes.

So they are very useful sockets then. Glad that I picked it up for good price.
