Sockets & Accessories

Sockets and accessories is the biggest single category in the hand tools range — close to a thousand lines spanning standard, deep, impact and deep impact sockets, Kincrome Lok-On sockets, hex bit sockets, extension bars, adapters and drive accessories from 1/4 inch through 3/4 inch drive, in metric and imperial. Kincrome and Typhoon carry the bulk of it.

Mechanics and fitters get their everyday chrome here; the impact ranges serve tyre shops, plant workshops and anyone running rattle guns.

What's the difference between chrome and impact sockets?

Impact sockets are made from tougher, more ductile steel with thicker walls, built to absorb the hammering of an impact wrench. Chrome sockets can shatter under that load — chrome for hand use, impact for the gun, no exceptions.
