| Product Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Individual Socket | Product is an individual socket; not part of a socket set. | ||
| Socket Set (Sockets Only) | Product is a socket set that contains sockets only. Set may also include socket adapters and socket extensions. | ||
| Socket Set (Bits Only) | Product is a socket set that includes bits only. Set may also include socket adapters and socket extensions. | ||
| Socket Set (Sockets and Bits) | Product is a socket set that includes sockets and bits. Set may also include socket adapters and socket extensions. | ||
| Socket Adapter | Product is a socket adapter. Socket adapters are used to adapt the drive size of a socket for use with a wrench with a different drive size. For example, a socket adapter can be used to adapt a socket with a 1/4" square drive for use with a wrench with a 3/8" square drive. | ||
| Socket Extension | Product is a socket extension. Socket extensions are used to extend the reach of a socket. | ||
| Flexible Extension | Product is a flexible extension. Flexible extensions extend the reach of a socket, but are also flexible, for use with sockets in hard to reach locations. | ||
| Flex/Hinge Handle | Product is a flex handle, also referred to as a hinge handle. A flex handle contains a clevis style joint at the end the socket is assembled to. | ||
| Other | Other, unlisted or proprietary socket set or adapter. | ||

| Product Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Phillips Bit | Socket contains a Phillips bit, used for driving a screw with a Phillips drive. Standard Phillips sizes are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. | ||
| Pozidriv® Bit | Socket contains a Pozidriv® bit, used for driving a screw with a Pozidriv® drive. Pozidriv is an improvement to the Phillips drive and is jointly patented by the Phillips Screw Company and American Screw Company. Pozidriv bits have a second cross-like structure at 45 degrees to the primary cross. | ||
| Slotted Bit | Socket contains a slotted bit, used for driving a screw with a slotted drive. | ||
| Torx® Bit | Socket contains a Torx® bit, used for driving a screw with a Torx drive. A Torx drive has a six-point star-shaped pattern. Sizes for a screw head with a Torx drive start with the letter "T", followed by a number. | ||
| Standard / Shallow Length Socket | Socket has a standard length, also referred to as a shallow length. Standard length sockets have a fairly low profile and are used to access nuts in narrow spaces. | ||
| Deep Length Socket | Socket has a deep length, which is longer than that found in a standard socket. Deep sockets are commonly used for turning a nut onto a bolt when the bolt extends beyond the nut. | ||
| Impact Socket | Impact sockets are used with high strength fasteners when a higher tightening torque is required. Standard sockets are made from a strong, brittle steel and would break if used with an impact wrench. Impact sockets are made from a thicker and weaker malleable steel. | ||
| Swivel | Product contains a swivel between the socket opening and the socket drive that allows for angular movement of the wrench. Swivel sockets are used in difficult to reach applications and are found on sockets, socket extensions and socket adapters. | ||
| Universal Joint | Product contains a universal joint between the socket and the socket drive. The universal joint allows the socket to be positioned at various angles to assist tightening or loosening. Universal joints are found on sockets, socket extensions and socket adapters. | ||
| Insulated | Insulated sockets are used to protect the operator from electrical shock. | ||
| Magnetic | Magnetic sockets contain a magnetic to assist in holding fasteners in place during assembly and removal. | ||
| Spark Plug Socket | Spark plug sockets are specially designed for the installation and removal of spark plugs. | ||
| Other | Other, unlisted or proprietary product feature. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Wrench Included | The socket set includes a wrench. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
