Choosing ratchets and sockets
Start with the drive size, then the socket type. Match the drive size to the fastener and the tool you are using, and use an adaptor between drive sizes rather than a long extension. For sockets, check the system: metric, imperial or Whitworth sizes are listed separately and are not interchangeable. Choose a 6 point or 12 point socket, standard or deep, and use impact sockets on impact tools. Inhex, Torx and screwdriver bit sockets suit socket head and Torx fasteners. For a set, check the drive size, the system and the pieces listed. This page is the full range. For a focused list go to sockets, socket sets, ratchets and drive handles or socket and ratchet accessories. Our guides cover the main decisions: socket sets, impact drivers and impact wrenches, torque wrenches and Torx bits. Always check the product page for the size, drive and application before you order.
