Wrenches & Sockets

Wrenches and sockets are essential tools for assembling, repairing and maintaining mechanical systems. This category covers hand wrenches such as open-ended, box-ended and combination styles, plus adjustable spanners and specialty keys. It also gathers socket sets and the tools that drive them, from ratchets and extensions to universal joints and torque wrenches. When comparing options, look at drive size (for example, the common 1/4in, 3/8in and 1/2in systems), socket types (metric and imperial), material and finish, the number of pieces, and whether the case is sturdy for on-site use. Consider access, reach, and the amount of leverage you typically need.
