Socket Type

There are two main types of sockets:

1. Standard sockets: These have a hexagonal opening that fits over the nut or bolt head.
2. Impact sockets: Designed for use with impact wrenches, impact sockets are thicker and stronger to withstand the high torque.

Choose the socket type based on the tool you will be using and the application.

Accessory Compatibility

Ensure that the socket accessories, such as socket drivers, bits, and wrenches, are compatible with your socket size and type. Look for accessories that are specifically designed to work with your sockets.

Material and Durability

For demanding applications, choose sockets and accessories made from high-quality materials that are built to last. Look for features like chrome-plated finishes and heat-treated alloy steel for added durability. By considering these factors, you can select the right socket and accessory combination to meet your specific needs and ensure a secure and reliable fit on fasteners.
