socket sets

Ratchet tool assortment

A socket set is a collection of socket wrenches and their attachments, typically sold together in a carrying case.

The set includes sockets of various sizes that fit over bolt heads and nuts, plus ratchet handles, extensions, and adapters.

Socket sets are standard equipment for automotive repair and general mechanical work: Every garage should have a decent socket set.
