FAQs

Why use a socket wrench and socket rather than a spanner?

Although they can be used for similar applications, using a socket and wrench has many advantages. The use of interchangeable sockets ensures that only one wrench is required to work with various sized fasteners, saving both time and money. The 6-point head also ensures a secure and reliable connection to the fastener with each point producing a strong grip and increased torque, preventing slippages and the risk of rounding the edges of the fastener unlike a spanner that only fits to a limited number of edges. The combination of a wrench and socket provides a much more versatile hand tool that can be used in a wide range of applications, especially when fasteners are recessed or hard to reach.
