A detailed buying guide: how to choose a socket.
Sockets and socket wrenches work in deep and narrow places where an open-end spanner cannot reach. This section includes 1/2" drive hex sockets, extensions and a universal joint, T-, Y- and L-handle socket wrenches and cross wheel wrenches. General guide: how to choose wrenches, sockets, ratchets and torque tools.
The square drive of the socket (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") must match the ratchet or impact wrench. 1/2" is the most common in car service.
Choose the socket size in mm to match the nut. A six-point socket grips better and does not round the flats.
A T-handle wrench gives fast spinning and good leverage, a Y-wrench combines three sizes, and L-handle and cross wrenches suit wheel nuts. About car service: how to choose hand tools for automotive and mechanical service.
CrV steel withstands high torque. Use only impact sockets with an impact wrench. Read hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.
Make sure the socket is fully seated on the nut before applying force. Read how to use hand tools safely.
Keep sockets on a rail or in a case by size so they do not get lost. Read how to maintain, store and organize hand tools.
