What are the socket point options within Impact Sockets
There are various options for the number of socket points on a socket. The number of points can determine what types of nuts and bolts the socket can loosen or secure. For example, a six-point socket is suitable for very tight fasters or rounded corners. A 12-point socket is for light repairs. Within Impact Sockets, socket point options include 6-point, 12-point, 4-point and 8-point.
What is the difference between a socket wrench and a ratchet?
Sockets and ratchets are both used to make a combination tool. The main difference is that they are much harder to get the job done when used alone than when used together. It is much easier to tighten and loosen fasteners using both tools together. Check out the best-selling product, the SHOCKWAVE 3/8 in. Drive SAE and Metric 6 Point Impact Socket Set (43-Piece).
