Comprehensive M4–M14 Ribe Size Range
The set contains 10 Ribe bit sockets:
M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M9, M10, M12, M13 and M14
This broad size selection makes the set suitable for a variety of automotive and mechanical servicing applications, from smaller fittings through to larger fasteners requiring increased torque.
Specialist Ribe Fastener Profile
Ribe fasteners use a distinctive multi-spline profile designed to provide effective contact between the tool and fastener.
The profile is commonly encountered in the automotive industry, particularly on European vehicles, where Ribe fasteners may be used on engine, transmission, braking and other mechanical components.
Using the correctly sized Ribe socket provides proper engagement with the fastener, helping to:
- Improve torque transfer
- Reduce the risk of tool slippage
- Minimise damage to the fastener
- Provide accurate alignment
- Make removal and installation more efficient
Ribe fasteners should not be confused with Torx, Hex or XZN / Triple Square fasteners. Always check the fastener profile carefully before use.
High-Quality Chrome Vanadium Construction
The sockets are manufactured from high-quality Chrome Vanadium steel, providing the strength, durability and resistance to wear required for regular workshop use.
The fixed driver design creates a convenient one-piece bit socket that can be connected directly to compatible 3/8" drive hand tools.
Secure 3/8" Square Drive
Each socket incorporates a standard 3/8" square drive with a ball-retaining groove, providing secure engagement with compatible drive tools and accessories.
Suitable for use with:
- 3/8" drive ratchets
- Extension bars
- Flexible handles
- Breaker bars
- Sliding T-handles
- Other compatible 3/8" drive hand tools
This popular drive size provides an excellent balance between access and torque for automotive and mechanical applications.

Compatibility
These sockets are specifically designed for compatible Ribe-profile fasteners.
Ribe fasteners can look similar to some other multi-spline profiles, but Ribe and XZN / Triple Square are different profiles and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Always inspect the fastener and select the correct profile and size before applying torque.
Please note: These are hand-tool bit sockets and should not be used with pneumatic or cordless impact wrenches unless specifically stated as impact rated.
