How to choose
- Drive size: 1/4 in. drive for small fasteners and tight spaces, 3/8 in. drive for most maintenance work, 1/2 in. drive for larger bolts and impact wrenches.
- Impact vs. chrome: only use impact-rated sockets (such as SHOCKWAVE) on impact wrenches and drivers; chrome hand sockets can crack under impact.
- SAE vs. metric: buy sets that match your equipment — many plants need both, which is why mixed metric/SAE sets are common.
- 6-point vs. 12-point: 6-point sockets grip the flats and are less likely to round off tight or rusted fasteners.
- Deep vs. standard: deep sockets reach nuts on long bolts and threaded rod; standard sockets fit tighter spaces.
