About Imperial

The Imperial catalogue includes highly durable flaring & swaging tools, wire wrist pliers, tubing benders, ratcheting wrenches and manifold gauge sets. Imperial wrenches are used for providing grip and mechanical advantage while applying torque to fasteners, like nuts and bolts. The brand's ratcheting SAE service wrenches feature nickel construction for withstanding harsh impact loads and chrome-plated finish for ensuring hardness, wear protection and a shiny surface.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Imperial Tools' MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Westward model numbers. So, if you are looking for competitor items that are either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Imperial hand & plumbing tools available. Customers can also cross-reference most products using the last 5 digits of the model numbers.

Shipping

Imperial cutting tools are available in lengths ranging between 5 and 8.25 inches. The hand, plumbing and cutting tools are small in size and require careful packaging as some products might get damaged while shipping. Hence, they are delivered by courier shipment and not air freight for minimum downtime.
