Third in this guide, the Högert Technik 18pc Spline Pass-Through Socket Set is the one set here whose headline piece count is mostly sockets. The listing's 18 pieces break down as 13 pass-through spline sockets in 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 24 mm, one 60-tooth pass-through ratchet, 1/4in and 3/8in adaptors, and 80 mm and 150 mm extension bars. That is 13 sockets out of 18 pieces, against 12 sockets out of 48 and 10 sockets out of 37 in the cheaper sets in this guide.

The sockets themselves carry no square drive size, because they are pass-through: the listing supplies the 1/4in and 3/8in adaptors instead, and describes the open construction as a way to work on long threaded studs where a conventional socket has limited reach. The listing also disagrees with itself in one place — its own spec table gives the head style as Hex, while the title and first bullet describe spline sockets covering hex, 12-point, Torx, spline and square fasteners. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.

## Questions people ask

**How many sockets do you actually get?**

Thirteen. The Högert HT1R478 lists pass-through spline sockets in 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 24 mm. The remaining five pieces are the 60-tooth ratchet, the 1/4in and 3/8in adaptors and the 80 mm and 150 mm extension bars.

**Is this a 1/2in or 3/8in drive set?**

No drive size is given for the sockets themselves, because they are pass-through spline sockets. The listing supplies 1/4in and 3/8in adaptors, so the set can be used with tools in those two sizes.

**What fastener profiles does it cover?**

The listing says the spline sockets suit hex, 12-point, Torx, spline and square nuts and bolts, for automotive, garage, workshop and general repair work.

**Why does the spec table say the head style is Hex?**

That is what the listing's own spec field says, while the product title and the first bullet describe spline sockets. The two descriptions do not match each other.

**What is it made from and how is it stored?**

Components are Cr-V and Cr-Mo alloy steels, drop-forged for resistance to deformation, and the set comes in a case with metal locks, hinges and a flexible internal tool insert.

**How much is it and how is it rated?**

The Högert HT1R478 is listed at £49.89 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 3,003 ratings on the Amazon listing.
