socket wrench
Bolt-turning hand tool
A socket wrench is a hand tool with a ratcheting handle that accepts interchangeable sockets of various sizes, used to turn nuts and bolts.
The ratchet mechanism allows continuous turning without repositioning—you just swing the handle back and forth: Hand me the socket wrench and a half-inch socket.
Essential in automotive and mechanical work.
