Ratchets and sockets are essential tools in professional tools. Whether you're a mechanic, DIYer, or industry professional, these versatile tools allow you to effectively tighten and loosen nuts and bolts in a variety of applications. In this article, we will explore ratchets and sockets in detail, their uses, the different options available on the market, and tips for choosing the right tools for your professional needs.
Ratchets: versatile tools
The ratchet is a hand tool that allows you to tighten and loosen nuts and bolts with ease and precision. It consists of a handle or shaft, a ratchet mechanism and a drive head. The ratchet mechanism allows the ratchet to rotate in one direction while holding the position in the other direction, making it easier to work in tight or hard-to-reach spaces.
Ratchets are available in different sizes, ranging from compact models for precision work to more robust models for industrial applications. They can be equipped with a square drive of various sizes, such as 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" or 1", which determines the size of sockets that can be used with the ratchet .
Ratchets can be equipped with either a fine or coarse toothed ratchet mechanism. Fine-toothed ratchets provide greater precision during delicate work, while coarse-toothed ratchets are better suited to jobs requiring greater clamping force.
Sockets: a range of options for all needs
Sockets are interchangeable bits that fit the ratchet drive head. They are available in a variety of sizes to match the different nuts and bolts you encounter in your professional work.
Sockets can be made from different materials, such as chrome vanadium steel, which provides good wear resistance and increased durability. They can also be coated with nickel or chrome for additional protection against corrosion.
Sockets can have different configurations, such as hex socket (hexagonal), twelve point sockets (for better grip on nuts and bolts), long sockets (for reaching nuts and bolts in deep spaces) and impact sockets (for use with impact tools).
