Socket Wrench Accessories
A socket is a tool with an internal square drive that is used to turn a fastener with the use of a socket wrench. Metric sockets use the same size square drives that are used on inch sockets and therefore can be used on the same socket wrenches.

Socket Types from Metric & Multistandard
Standard and Deep Metric Sockets
Sockets are available with either a 6- or 12-point female recess that fits over the head of a bolt or nut. A 6-point socket will only fit on a hexagon-shaped head. A 12-point socket will fit on a hexagonal or a 12-point head. Metric sockets are generally available in standard or deep depths. Deep sockets are used to turn nuts that are not reachable with a standard depth socket. Sockets are intended to be used with a hand-powered socket wrench unless specifically designed to be used with a power drive tool, such as impact drive and power driver sockets.Our selection of metric sockets includes:
