Socket Sets

What are Sockets?

Sockets are tools used for tightening and loosening nuts and bolts. They attach to a ratchet wrench or torque wrench to turn the bolt. Sockets come in a variety of different sizes to fit whatever job you are doing. They are most commonly made from alloyed steel, which helps protect them from wear and tear. The steel protects against stripping due to the pressure that is applied, and also protects against corrosion. The sets ensure that you have every size that you could need while working. The magnetic rails and belts keep track of all the sockets, so you never have to worry about losing one!

Types Of Sockets

At Mr. Tools, we carry a variety of sockets, including:p

• 6-point Sockets - Also known as a hex socket, due to its hexagonal shape.

• 12-point Sockets - Commonly known as a bi-hex, has more points to ensure a tight, non-slip grip.

• Impact - Used with impact wrenches, they are made to withstand higher amounts of force and vibrations.

• Deep Sockets - A longer, extended socket that allows individuals to tighten and loosen nuts and bolts that are difficult to reach or deep into a space.

Each set is uniquely designed to help you loosen or tighten nuts and bolts with ease. We also sell rails that can be clipped onto your tool belt for easy access and organization while working, and magnetic rails for easy storage between jobs.

How To Choose The Right Socket Set?

Before you purchase your set, you need to first consider what you will be using them for. At Mr.Tools, we carry both imperial and metric socket sets. Imperial sets, also known as SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), are commonly used by builders in the United States and by those working with old cars. These sets would be marked in fractions of an inch. In most countries around the world, the metric socket set is used by builders and DIYers. These sets will be measured in millimeters. Impact socket sets are used when working with cars and construction. These are very durable and help to tighten the fastener without stripping or rounding out the edges of it. Deep socket sets are usually used when working with cars or other types of machinery, so you can get into those hard-to-reach places.
