    Switch out worn or damaged bits instead of replacing your entire bit socket. No need for set screws or roll pins to keep these bits in place—they have nylon pellets at their base that compress within the socket for a snug fit. Tap them into hex bit sockets with a hammer. They flex slightly to withstand the high torque and force of impact tools. They can also be used with hand-drive tools.

    Changeable-Head Torque Wrenches

    Change heads to use these tools as an open-end, box, square drive, or hex-key wrench. The handle and head combination you choose may have different maximum torque values. Do not exceed the lower value. The handles come with a calibration certificate, which includes test measurements that confirm accuracy.
    You can tighten fasteners that require less torque than the values listed, but the accuracy ratings apply only within the specified range.

    Drives

    When vertical space is tight or you need an extra twist on your socket, use these dual-drive hex bit sockets. They work with a standard square-drive tool and a box or open-end wrench. Tighten them with your square-drive tool and give them an additional turn with the leverage from your open-end or box wrench. Or just use a box or open-end wrench when you can’t fit your square-drive tool. Pair them with hand-drive tools only.
