Socket Sets, Extensions and More

We sell the following types of socket products and accessories:

  • Adapters: With a socket adapter, you can transform your electric or cordless drill into a socket driver. These handy attachments will improve your efficiency and flexibility by broadening your power drill's capabilities.
  • Extensions: If you need to access tough-to-reach areas with your ratchet, consider buying a socket extension. These expand the reach of a socket for better control in confined spaces.
  • Torx and hex bits: Torx and hex bit sockets give a ratchet driving capabilities for their specified head. While a traditional socket fits over the head of the fastener, these sockets fit inside the fastener head.
  • Drive retaining rings and locking pins: A socket retaining ring or locking pin helps the user secure a socket onto a drive tool for better fit and performance while using the tool.

Benefits of Sockets and Ratchets

The advantages of sockets, socket sets and the tools that use them include:

  • Ease of use: Socket-compatible tools such as ratchets and adapted drills can make it easier to turn a fastener than a conventional wrench. With a conventional wrench, you need to reposition the tool on the nut or bolt every time you turn it. Meanwhile, adapted drills and ratchets have more flexible positioning for faster work.
  • Space efficiency: Compared to single-purpose tools, sockets save space by allowing one tool to serve multiple uses. You can store a single ratchet or drill with your sockets to improve your space footprint over storing multiple hand tools. Socket kits feature specialized storage boxes that keep the sockets you need in a compact place.
  • Lower risk of fastener damage: Since sockets distribute pressure evenly around a fastener, they can make it easier to work with nuts and bolts without damaging them. Traditional spanners have two points of pressure that can damage a fastener or wear away its corners with improper use. Sockets leave more room for error with multiple points of pressure around the fastener.
  • Broad utility: You can buy a comprehensive socket set or mix and match the sockets you need to meet the requirements of the jobs you typically finish. When you have a new fastener to work with, you can add a compatible socket to your set without needing to buy an entire hand tool.
  • Better access to fasteners: Products such as extensions, deep sockets and adapters make it easy to reach fasteners in confined areas. These accessories come in multiple sizes to help you adapt to different spaces.
