What is the purpose of a deep socket?
Deep sockets: A deep socket can help you reach bolts that are far down in a vehicle or piece of machinery that you're working on. These are often needed when the bolt protrudes from the nut, like a tire lug nut, or the fastener is recessed.
Are all deep sockets the same length?
Standards of Socket Sets There are many different standards for sockets and whilst they are generally similar, they may set different tolerances, giving an acceptable range of lengths within the same standard. This means one manufacturer's deep 13mm socket may be slightly longer or shorter than another's.
Are 6 or 12 point sockets better?
Answer: It's true that 12-point sockets are fine for most lightweight repairs, but heavy wrenching calls for a six-point socket. A six-point socket is much less likely to slip off a stubborn fastener or round over the corners. Here's why: (1) Six-point sockets have thicker walls, so they're less likely to flew.
Should I buy impact or regular sockets?
Impact sockets can be used safely on a hand tool, however you should never use a regular hand tool socket on an impact wrench as this can be extremely dangerous. A regular socket is likely to shatter when used on power tools due to their thinner wall design and the material they're made from.
Can you use an impact driver for sockets?
Chrome-plated sockets should never be used with an impact driver. Regular chrome-plated sockets can crack or shatter and send pieces flying. Use only impact-rated sockets for impact guns, and impact-rated sockets or nut drivers for smaller cordless impact drivers.
Can you use shallow sockets for lug nuts?
Shallow sockets are designed for working on nuts that are no more than an inch away from the end of the bolt's shaft. They're useful for working in tight spaces a deep socket can't fit into, and for grabbing nuts on shorter bolt shafts without slipping off as easily.
12-Point Sockets
The 12 -point shape quickly positions on hex fasteners. These sockets are for hand-driven use only.
Spanner Sockets
For easy tightening and loosening, these sockets have pins that grip the slotted sides on bearing nuts. These sockets require less clearance around bearings than standard hook spanner wrenches, so they’re good in tight spaces. Use them with a square-drive wrench handle or a ratchet wrench; they’re not for use with impact wrenches.
Tight-Clearance Offset Sockets
Often used with an extension, these sockets turn fasteners and fittings in obstructed areas that a regular socket can't reach. They are also known as crowfoot wrenches.
6-Point Impact Sockets
Achieve the best possible grip on hex fasteners and prevent rounding. These sockets are made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.
