Single Sizes
You are missing a size in your socket set and want to order a single one. Choose a socket that fits your ratchet or torque wrench. Check the drive size, such as 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2 inch. Look at the profile, for example six or twelve point. Also consider the length. That way you get the exact socket you need.

Single sockets in the right size
Choose the right size and drive
You are missing a size in your socket set. Buy a single socket that fits your ratchet or torque wrench. Check the drive size, such as 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2 inch. Measure the hexagon or twelve-point of the bolt or nut. This ensures the socket grips properly and does not damage the fastener.
Where ordering goes wrong
Many mechanics order a single socket without checking the drive. A socket for 1/2 inch does not fit a ratchet with 3/8 inch. The depth of the socket also matters. A standard socket cannot reach recessed bolts. Choose a deep socket for hard-to-reach points. Measure the bolt size, not the socket you lost.
Profile and quality of the socket
Choose between hexagon and twelve-point. Hexagon grips more securely and prevents rounding. Twelve-point is useful in tight spaces. Pay attention to the hardness of the material. A good socket is hardened and resists deformation under high torque. Use the right socket for the job. This extends the life of your tool.
Complete a single socket with the rest of your screwdrivers. If you turn many different screws, take a look at screwdriver assortments for a set that suits your daily work. For precision work or seized bolts there are special screwdrivers.
