What are the different types of sockets available?
They come in various types to accommodate different fasteners. Common types include standard (also known as shallow), deep, impact, hex (Allen), and Torx sockets.
What size of socket do I need?
Socket sizes are determined by the dimensions of the fasteners you're working with. To figure out the correct socket size, match the socket's drive size (e.g., ¼-inch, ⅜-inch, ½-inch) to your ratchet or wrench and choose the socket that fits the fastener snugly.
What is the difference between chrome and impact sockets?
Chrome sockets are typically used for lighter-duty applications and offer a polished finish for corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance. Impact sockets are specifically designed to withstand the high torque and vibration generated by impact wrenches, so they’re good for heavy-duty automotive jobs.
