FAQs

By the component, not by a size range. The fitment on the listing states which housing or nut the socket engages, and only a socket cut for that will fit.

A cap socket fits over the end of the housing and is sized in millimetres, at 32mm and 36mm on 3/8 inch drive. A cup socket has flats matched to the housing, such as 74mm with 14 flats.

The listing names the marques. The 74mm 14 flat sockets cover Mercedes-Benz C, E and S Class and, separately, Audi, BMW, GM, Rover and VW, so the marque is checked rather than the diameter alone.

Commercial vehicle hub and bearing nuts, which are far larger than car fasteners. An 85mm bi-hex socket on 1 inch drive suits Iveco and an 86.5mm socket suits BPW axles.

Wall thickness rather than size. A thin wall 12 point socket at 14mm enters a plug well too narrow for a standard socket, which is why it is a different tool rather than a smaller one.

An oil filter cup socket set on 3/8 inch drive holds 15 pieces, which covers a range of housings in one purchase rather than buying to each vehicle as it arrives.

A specialist socket is bought against one component, not against a size range. The oil filter housing on a particular engine has a set number of flats at a set diameter, and only a socket cut for that will engage it. Reading the fitment on the listing is the whole of the selection.

Oil filter sockets split by how they engage. A cap socket fits over the end of the housing and is sized in millimetres, at 32mm and 36mm here on 3/8 inch drive. A cup socket has flats matched to the housing, and 74mm with 14 flats covers Mercedes-Benz C, E and S Class as well as Audi, BMW, GM, Rover and VW. Cup sockets are the more common fitment on modern cartridge filters, where a cap socket has nothing to grip.

Hub and axle nut sockets are commercial vehicle tools and are sized in the same way, by the nut rather than by a standard. An 85mm bi-hex hub nut socket on 1 inch drive suits Iveco, and an 86.5mm axle bearing nut socket suits BPW axles.

Spark plug sockets are specialist because of wall thickness rather than size. A thin wall 12 point socket at 14mm on 3/8 inch drive goes into a plug well too narrow for a standard socket, which is what makes it a different tool rather than a smaller one. Questions go over WhatsApp on 07754288583 with the engine or axle. A 7 pin 24 volt metal socket is seated on the leaf by structure rather than belonging to the socketry range.
