socket set
Mechanic's toolkit essentials
A socket set is a collection of socket wrenches and their attachments, typically stored in a fitted case.
The set includes a ratchet handle and multiple sockets of varying sizes that snap onto it, allowing one tool to fit many bolt and nut sizes.
Standard sets may include both metric and imperial measurements: Every garage should have a decent socket set.
