![]() ![]() Precision CNC-cut to fit 186 Snap-on sockets and drive tools:ġ/4-Drive Dual 80 Standard Handle Ratchet (Snap-on T72)ġ/4-Drive Spinner Handle (Snap-on TM4CSA)ġ/4-Drive Universal Joint (Snap-on TMU8B).Made from closed-cell polyethylene tool foam.Standard colors: black/red, blue/yellow, black/blue.Drawer size: 30-1/2 X 21-7/8 inches (inside width by inside depth).The compact form factor also helps in organizing everything at arm's length. Things can get bulky but it is still possible to be carried around. Sockets are majorly made from black oxide or chrome.Ĭompactness And Portability: You can either opt for an easy-going carry case laden socket set that can be taken around like a handbag, or go all-out and buy a storage bundle that comes with all the necessary tools to work on your car including torchlights, socket spinners, and varying ratchet wrenches. The surface finish also plays a key role here as it protects the sockets from corrosion. Rough usage can also round off the socket edges thus rendering it useless. The quick-release mechanism of the ratchet can get either loose or ineffective because of its spring action giving up. But these sets also have certain soft spots that tend to wear out over time. Some even come with a lifetime guarantee. The bigger sockets come coupled with a longer ratchet which facilitates in providing more torque.ĭurability And Surface Finish: Almost all socket sets are made to be durable and last long. The smaller ones are those that are taken lightly and don't require much torque and are build rather subtly without much focus on density and sturdiness. Size And Shape: There are mainly 5 sizes of sockets - 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch. Also, check for added accessories and ratchet options which helps improve the functionality. So, always invest in a socket set that comes with the most number of socket options to keep your arsenal concise. Sockets come in different sizes and our car or motorcycle is held together using a vast variety of them. Number Of Sockets: In this case, the more the merrier. But these are not made for rugged use as the added contact patch, rounds off the edges of the fastener. These can be fitted to both square-head and hexagonal fasteners. Some hex sockets come with a tweaked internal socket face, which helps to take added torque without the risk of slippage and damaging the fastener.īi-Hex Sockets: As the name suggests, these sockets have a 12-point internal structure which helps make them more flexible when it comes to being fitted to fasteners. This shape is quite rugged and reliable and can take on a whole lot of beating. Hex sockets are named so as the fasteners it clips on to has a standard 6-point shape. Hex Sockets: These are the most common type of sockets currently available in the market. But if you are going for imperial sockets, prepare to make a few amendments in terms of flexibility. You can get hold of fasteners that come with both SAE and metric units, and so it is wise to invest in a socket that can utilize both types of measurements. Imperial Sockets: These are dimensionally specific sockets that are to be used with fasteners under SAE. These sockets have added durability and strength to take on the added force that comes with electric tools and pneumatic air wrenches. Impact Sockets: These are basically the same as an ordinary set of sockets but have the added advantage of being used with power tools as well. The ratchet that comes with these socket sets can either make it or break it when it comes to functionality. These take time to get the work done, but there is no dearth of fun in this. Non-Impact Sockets: These are plain old sockets that work brute human force. ![]()
