Hand tools are an important part of every toolkit. They help you build, repair, and restore items around your home or a construction site quickly and efficiently. At Ace, you'll find a wide variety of socket sets and other tools to complete your projects with ease. Shop online now to find the right socket set for your needs, including affordable standard socket wrench sets to durable, long-lasting impact socket sets designed for high-load applications.
Understanding Your Socket Tool Set
When shopping for a socket set, you will see many terms you may not be familiar with. From impact sockets to points to drive size and more, knowing just what these things mean will help you buy the right socket set for your needs.
Socket Wrench Included
Many socket sets come with a socket wrench or wrenches to help you build out your tool set. Also known as a ratchet, a socket wrench is designed to make tightening and loosening fasteners more convenient. Looking for a specific ratchet? Find additional socket wrenches to complement your next project.
What are Impact Sockets?
An impact socket is designed to be used with impact tools powered by air or electricity. They are capable of withstanding the high torque of impact wrenches to tackle heavy-duty and professional jobs.
Number of Points
You are most likely to find 6-point or 12-point sockets:
- 6-point Sockets: Ideal for heavy-duty work, 6-point sockets fit more snuggly and can easily handle jobs that need more torque. Their snug fit helps prevent slippage.
- 12-point Sockets: Great for everyday repairs, 12-point sockets are also useful for fasteners in difficult-to-see positions as the additional points make it easier to fit over a variety of nuts and bolts.
Drive Size
At Ace, you can find ¼ inch, 3/8 inch, ½ inch and ¾ inch drives. The drive size corresponds with the size of the job that needs completing.
- ¼ inch drives are ideal for small fasteners.
- ½ and ¾ inch drives will handle your bigger and tougher duties.
- 3/8 inch drives should handle most jobs.
Be Prepared for Every Job with a Mechanics’ Socket Set
A socket set with multiple-size fittings allows you to complete minor home repairs with ease. Tighten nuts and bolts, replace gaskets and handles, and even work on furniture with these simple and easy-to-use tools.
But while a basic socket set can accommodate many home repairs, sometimes the job calls for specialized tools. A mechanics’ socket set can handle basic jobs as well as many automotive repairs. Keep a set in your garage and in your car to ensure you can get back on the road, no matter where you are.
You may also want to add useful specialty pieces to your socket and wrench sets. Torque wrenches, flare nut wrench sets, metric sets and spark plug socket sets can help you get any task handled quickly.
Metric vs SAE Socket Sets
When shopping for socket sets, you have a choice between SAE sockets and metric sockets. The difference between the two lies in how they measure size:
- SAE sockets are measured in inches and fractions of inches.
- Metric sockets are measured using millimeters.
The SAE and metric designations are important to note because they let you know which sockets to use for specific fasteners. As nuts, bolts and other fasteners are also identified using metric or SAE systems, some socket sets work better for certain jobs than others. Although you may be able to complete a job on SAE fasteners with metric socket sets and vice versa, you risk stripping the fastener by doing so. Look for dually compatible sets.
