Sockets

Hex Bit Sockets

Electrical-Insulating Hex Bit Sockets

Insulated to protect against accidental contact with live electrical circuits, these sockets are tested to 1,000 volts to meet ASTM F1505 and IEC 60900.

Extended-Reach Hex Bit Sockets

Extra-long bits allow access to hard-to-reach fasteners.

Stubby Hex Bit Sockets

The short bit on these sockets fits in spaces where height clearance is limited.

Ball-End Hex Bit Sockets

The ball end allows angled entry when you don't have exact alignment between the socket bit and fastener.

Extended-Reach Ball-End Hex Bit Sockets

Extra-long bits allow access to hard-to-reach fasteners.

Tamper-Resistant Hex Bit Sockets

These sockets are also known as pin-in-hex or pin-in-socket bits.

Impact Hex Bit Sockets

Power Hex Bit Sockets

Use bit sockets as an alternative to a screwdriver or L-key.

Hex, Torx, Phillips, and Slotted Bit Socket Assortments

Keep a convenient mix of hex, Torx, Phillips, and slotted bit sockets on hand.

Tamper-Resistant Hex Bit Socket Sets

These sockets are also known as pin-in-hex or pin-in-socket bits.

Impact Hex Bit Socket Sets

Use these sockets as an alternative to a screwdriver or L-key. They are made to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools.

Screwdriver Bits and Adapters

Fastener-Holding Nutdriver Bits

A magnet or retaining ring holds the nut in place.

Extra-Grip Fastener-Holding Nutdriver Bits

Because they make contact on the flat sides of fasteners rather than only on the corners, these magnetic bits significantly reduce slipping and stripping. They’re also known as lobular bits.

Fastener-Holding Nutdriver Bits for Impact Drivers

The toughest bits available, these withstand the shock and twisting force of impact drivers. A magnet holds the nut in place.

Nutdriver Bits

Turn hex nuts and cap screws.

Fastener-Holding Nutdriver Bit Sets

A magnet holds the nut in place.

Nutdriver Bit Sets

These bits are also known as nut setters.
