    In addition to a standard square drive, the sockets in these sets have a hex-shaped base so you can use a ratchet wrench along with an open-end or box wrench for additional leverage. Or, if your screw is in a space where a ratchet wrench won’t fit, insert one of these sockets into the screw head and turn it with an open-end or box wrench. For use with hand-drive tools only.

    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.

    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.
