Socket Set FAQ
What to look for when buying socket sets
When you're on the hunt for the ideal socket set, keep your eyes peeled for quality, drive size, and having a good range of sizes to suit your needs. The key difference between socket sets is the range of fastener sizes they cover, so make sure it has what you need.
Depending on the job and the type of fasteners you’re working with, the design or shape of the socket will differ. There’s a huge variety of socket designs for specific fasteners. Hex sockets are the most common type and have a square drive socket at one end to attach them to the tool (e.g. ratchet), and a hexagon (or bi-hexagon) recessed socket head at the other end to turn fasteners such as nuts and bolts.
Then there’s socket bits—they’re a combo of a screwdriver bit and with a hex socket for attaching it to the turning tool. Impact sockets are made for use with impact drivers such as air guns, and spark plug sockets are a must for any mechanic. Size matters, so check if it's an imperial 1/2 socket set or a 1/4 socket set you’re after, or if you need one with metric measurements, and remember: quality is key.
