Frequently asked questions
What drive size should I start with?
A 3/8-inch drive covers most automotive and home work, while 1/4 inch suits small fasteners. A 1/2-inch drive handles lug nuts and heavy bolts.
Six-point or twelve-point sockets?
Six-point sockets grip stubborn, rounded nuts better, while twelve-point ones work in tight swing spaces. Many sets include both.
Do I need deep sockets?
Deep sockets reach nuts on long studs where shallow ones will not fit. Add them for suspension and engine work.
