Socket Compatibility via 870/1 Adapter
The included 870/1 adapter converts the ratchet’s 1/4″ hex chuck to a 1/4″ square drive, for use with all seven Zyklop sockets.
Seven Zyklop 1/4″ Sockets
Chrome-vanadium sockets from 5.5mm to 13mm work with M3 through M8 fasteners and many electrical components. Each socket includes color-coded size markings for quick identification.

Bit profiles include Phillips (PH1-PH3), Pozidriv (PZ1-PZ3), TORX (T10-T40), TORX BO (TX10-TX30), slotted (1×5.5), hex socket (5.5-13mm), and more.
