Whether you’re in the shop or on the jobsite, these tools deliver the strength and fit you expect from a pro-grade brand.
Built to Specification and Industry Standards
All Metric Proferred® Hand Tools meet or exceed applicable industry specifications for hardness, material quality, and dimensional tolerances. Constructed from high-grade 6150 CRV alloy steel, Proferred® sockets and hex keys offer superior wear resistance and reliability. Metric tools are built to match ISO fastener profiles and are compatible with all major hand and power tool systems. Black oxide and phosphate coatings provide tool corrosion protection in heavy-use environments.
