If one measly 1-inch socket is not enough for you to work with, you need to upgrade to a 1-inch socket set. Consisting of either eight or fourteen sockets, a 1-inch drive socket set will set you up for the job at hand. Despite what the label may suggest, not every last socket will be 1 inch in a 1-inch socket set. In the 14-packs in particular, sockets can exceed two inches. In any case, of all the socket sets available at Bits4Blokes, the 1-inchers fall on the larger side. If you’re working with micro nuts and bolts, you may wish to browse our 1/4-inch socket sets — or other sets under an inch.
So, what more is there to know about this big fish in our small, socket-filled pond? To bring it back to the basics, socket sets are collections of tools used for tightening or loosening nuts, bolts and other fasteners. They typically include a variety of sockets, which are cylindrical attachments with a hexagonal or square-shaped opening on one end that fits onto the corresponding fastener. Socket sets also come with a ratcheting handle (a ratchet wand), allowing for efficient socket-turning in either direction.
In the case of 1-inch socket sets, their sockets span at least 1 inch, and their drive size corresponds to the square opening on the socket that attaches to the ratchet or other driving tool. Chances are you’ll use these sockets in heavy-duty applications requiring high torque — e.g. large machinery, industrial equipment or automotive repairs on heavy-duty vehicles.
If your work is not-so-heavy-duty, Bits4Blokes has you covered with smaller socket sets. In addition to the ¼-inch sets mentioned earlier, we also have 3/4-inch socket sets available. Or, if want something in the middle, perhaps the ½-inch socket set would suit you best. For further information about these alternatives and our available options, browse the page that corresponds best with your needs.
If a 1-inch drive socket set is what you seek, you’re in luck. At Bits4Blokes, we have a selection of 1-inch drive socket sets for sale. Browse our collection today and see what fits — your needs and your ratchet wand.
