Socket Adapter Solutions for Your Wrench

When your socket wrench doesn't fit the socket you need for a particular job, a socket adapter is a handy solution. Some popular types of socket wrench adaptor accessories that you may need for your tool include:

• Ratchet adapter: Add a ratchet adapter to your socket wrench to add ratcheting functionality and improve your grip and leverage.
• Torque adapter: Turn your socket wrench into a torque wrench for auto repairs and other projects.
• Swivel socket adapter: Increase your range of motion with a swivel socket adapter, which rotates 360 degrees, allowing you to orient your wrench in different ways.
• Size adapters: When the size of your socket wrench doesn't fit the socket, a size adapter can solve the issue. You can find these accessories in a wide range of common sizes to suit many projects.

Extend Your Reach with a Socket Extension

For sockets that are deep or otherwise difficult to reach a standard wrench, a socket extension is the accessory you need. Also called a socket extender, it fits onto the end of your socket wrench making it longer. When choosing a socket wrench extension, be sure to purchase an accessory that is the right size for your tool.

Tackle Many Tasks with a Socket Adapter Set

Just as you can buy plier sets and screwdriver sets to get multiple tools for one price, you can purchase sets of socket wrench accessories.

• A socket adapter set usually includes a single type of socket adapter in various sizes. For example, a torque adapter set may include a 1/2" - 3/4" adapter, a 3/4" - 1" inch adapter and a 3/8" - 1/2" adapter.
• A socket extension set typically gives you multiple stock extension accessories in varying lengths. You can find out what specific accessories a particular set contains by reading its online product description.
