DRIVE SOCKETS

in the context of tools, “drive socket” often refers to a standard socket, as opposed to a more specialized socket like a spark plug socket or a socket bit.

Here’s a breakdown of the key points:

• Standard Socket: A regular socket designed for gripping the heads of nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. It has a hexagonal (six-sided) shaped cavity on one end to fit the fastener head and a square-shaped drive on the other end to connect to a ratchet or drive tool.

• Drive Size: The square-shaped end of a socket is called the “drive” and comes in different sizes. Common drive sizes include:

  • 1/4-inch (usually for smaller fasteners and tight spaces)
  • 3/8-inch (a good balance between size and versatility)
  • 1/2-inch (for larger fasteners and higher torque applications)
  • Less common sizes include 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch for very specific heavy-duty applications.

• Socket Size: The hexagonal cavity on the other end of the socket is sized to fit specific fastener head diameters. These sizes are typically marked on the socket itself and are independent of the drive size.

Here’s a table summarizing the key aspects of sockets:
