A ratchet socket wrench is a hand-held tool for tightening and loosening nuts

There are a number of different types of ratchet socket wrenches. Whether you're working with long or short bolts, you'll want to have the right one for the job. Sockets with a ball bearing on the drive tang are best for long bolts.

Ratchet socket wrenches are made with a ratchet that holds the socket in place. They are generally more powerful than other types of wrenches. They can be used to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts on trucks and automobiles. Ratchet socket wrenches are often insulated, which prevents the head of the socket from twisting off the bolt. When using ratchet socket wrenches, it is best to use lubricants on the nuts and bolts.

Ratchet socket wrenches can come with interchangeable sockets. This prevents the need to have separate wrenches for different types and sizes of fasteners. Sockets are available for almost every type of screw, and they come in sets with several different sizes. Each set contains a ratchet of the "set size" to accommodate the socket. Sockets can be purchased in metric, imperial, or fractional sizes, as well as short (deep) versions.

Ratchet socket wrenches are hand-held tools that are made for tightening and loosening nuts. Unlike a screwdriver, they don't require any back up or removal. They can be swung in either direction to turn the nut or bolt. In addition, they have a lever that allows you to alternately tighten and loosen the socket.

Ratchet socket wrenches come in a variety of sizes. The smallest sockets are only rated for a small amount of torque. Smaller sizes are made with a less bulky design. They're also made with a ratchet with a longer length, allowing you to apply more torque.
