Sockets
Sockets are handy tools when working on the car or motorcycle. A socket has a specific size
and fits perfectly around a nut or bolt. This way a lot of force can be exerted
and the nuts or bolts can easily be loosened. The loose sockets are attached to
a socket wrench and can be replaced for any job!
Loose sockets
are handy to purchase when, for example, you already have a
socket kit , but a
certain size is still missing. At Winparts you will find the different sizes
such as
1/2'' , 1/4'' , 3/4'' , and 3/8'' in the models 12-sided , 6-sided , Tx-e and spiral socket .
Impact sockets
Impact sockets are made of a
material that is stronger than the standard sockets. This makes the impact
sockets very suitable for use on an impact wrench. Impact wrenches are often
used for jobs where a lot of force is required to loosen the bolt or nut. It is
therefore very desirable to use the impact sockets, so that you do not break
the nut and the tool. You can of course also purchase impact sockets in a
complete
impact socket kit .
Swivel sockets
If you want to loosen a bolt or nut,
which you cannot reach properly, the
swivel sockets are a solution. This socket
variant has a cardan joint, which makes it easy to bend. This allows you to
easily loosen bolts and nuts that are hard to reach.
Lug nut sockets
Wheel nuts can sometimes rust and
are very difficult to get loose. However, this is not a problem with
lug nut sockets .
Lug nut sockets have been specially developed to loosen or tighten wheel nuts.
They often also have rim protection, so that scratches and damage are
prevented. Are you going to loosen the wheel nuts with an impact wrench? Then
choose a impact wheel nut cap.
Spark plug sockets
Spark plug sockets are often used in
conjunction with a
spark plug wrench . This tool has been specially developed to
help loosen or tighten the
spark plug in the engine block. The spark plugs can
also have different sizes. At Winparts you will therefore find spark plug sockets
in different sizes such as 1/2'' and 3/8''.
Bit sockets
You may have heard of bits and bit
sets.
Bits are mainly used for loosening and tightening screws. Bits are
therefore often attached to a bit screwdriver.
Bit sockets , on the other hand,
can be placed on cordless tools, so you can work even faster!
Oil filter sockets
An oil filter socket is used to
unscrew the
oil filter . This tool has the shape of a kind of bowl or cup, which
is placed around the end of the filter. Then the oil filter can be easily
unscrewed. Unscrewing the oil filter by hand can be very difficult. You can
also look at our oil filter pliers or oil filter wrenches for this job.
