Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between a ratchet and a wrench?
A: A ratchet allows you to tighten or loosen fasteners continuously without removing the tool from the fastener, while a wrench requires you to lift and reposition the tool after each turn. Ratchets are faster and more efficient for repetitive tasks.
Q: How do I choose the right socket set?
A: Consider the types of fasteners you’ll be working with. If you’re working on automotive projects, you may need a set with deeper sockets. For general construction, a standard set with a variety of sizes and drive sizes should be sufficient.
Q: What does "drive size" mean in a socket set?
A: Drive size refers to the size of the square opening on the ratchet and socket that connects the two. Common drive sizes are 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". The larger the drive size, the more torque the tool can handle.
Q: Can I use ratchets and socket sets for home improvement tasks?
A: Absolutely! Ratchets and socket sets are versatile and perfect for home improvement projects, such as assembling furniture, installing fixtures, and repairing appliances.
Q: How do I maintain my ratchets and socket sets?
A: Keep your ratchets and sockets clean and dry to avoid rust. Lubricate the ratchet mechanism periodically for smooth operation. Always store your tools in a case to prevent loss and damage.
