Socket and Bit Sets

A socket is an interchangeable wrench head that fully encloses a nut or bolt head and is turned by fitting it onto a square-drive ratchet handle or extension; socket and bit sets bring these heads and bits together in different combinations. It is used on recessed or deep connections where an open-end wrench does not fit, to loosen and tighten many sizes with the same handle. The İzeltaş sets in this category come in 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch square drive sizes: hex sockets, deep sockets, socket and bit sets, and sockets with Allen and star (Torx) bits are sold as sets with piece counts such as 14, 15, 27 and 42. Choose the set according to the square drive size, the socket depth, the range of sizes it contains and the bit types: 1/4 inch is for small fasteners and tight spaces, 1/2 inch is for larger bolts and high tightening torque, and a deep socket reaches a nut on a long stud. A socket set must not be confused with wrench sets made up of open-end and box-end wrenches: a socket is not used on its own, it is fitted to a handle of its own square size.
