888 Series Hand Tools
There is a particular kind of frustration reserved for a socket that rounds off a fastener you have already spent forty minutes reaching. Cheap tools do not just break — they damage the thing you were trying to fix. 888 Series is the hand tool range built by SP Tools, an Australian tool company making workshop-grade gear since the 1970s, and at Superspares we stock it for people who would rather buy the socket once.

Workshop-Grade, Not Discount-Rack
The 888 line is made from chrome vanadium steel, the alloy that resists twisting and cracking under high torque and holds its shape at the drive square. That is the standard material for hand sockets, and it is the difference between a socket that survives a decade of suspension work and one that deforms the first time it meets a seized wheel nut.
What owners actually notice is the fit. A well-made socket seats fully on the flats and takes load across the whole face, so it grips instead of slipping. That is worth more than any feature list, because the tools that stay in the drawer for twenty years are the ones that never once let go halfway through a job.
What's in the 888 Series Range
Our 888 Series catalogue covers the core of a working tool drawer. Use our on-page filters to find the individual size you are replacing rather than scrolling the whole range.
Sockets: Metric sockets from 10mm through to 21mm in 1/2-inch drive, 12-point, sold individually so you can replace a lost or damaged size without buying a whole set again.
Ratchets: 72-tooth reversible ratchets, which need roughly five degrees of swing before re-engaging — the difference between finishing a bellhousing bolt and giving up on it.
Extension Bars: 125mm and 250mm extensions for reaching fasteners set down behind manifolds, subframes and suspension towers.
Spanners and Kits: Combination spanners plus larger custom-series tool kits supplied in foam trays, for building out a drawer or kitting a service van from scratch.
Beyond the 888 Series line, browse our wider selection of workshop tools, hand tools and air tools.
888 Series in Australian Workshops
Hand tools are not vehicle-specific, so there is no fitment list to work through — but the drive size you need does depend on the work you do.
Quarter-inch drive suits small fasteners and interior trim. Three-eighths covers most general engine bay work. Half-inch handles suspension, wheel nuts and anything needing real torque, which is why the 888 half-inch range is the one most Australian workshops build out first.
The range suits professional workshops, mobile mechanics and home garages equally. If you are working on 4WDs and utes, half-inch drive and the longer extension bars will earn their keep fastest.
One caution worth repeating: chrome hand sockets like these are not impact sockets. Impact sockets use a softer, more ductile alloy for a reason — never run a chrome socket on a rattle gun.
