To fill a gap in a set rather than to start one. That means drive size and socket size have to match what is already owned, so the ladder is completed without duplicating what is in the tray.

A hexagon socket bears on the six flats and grips a sound fastener hardest. A bi-hexagon has twelve points and goes on at half the angle, which matters where the handle can only swing a short arc.

1/4 inch through to 3/4 inch. The Elora bi-hexagon ladder covers 27mm, 28mm, 32mm and 33mm at 3/4 inch, and hexagon sockets start at 6mm on 1/4 inch drive.

To reach down a plug well that a standard socket cannot enter. The lengths here are 250mm in 14mm, 16mm and 18mm on 3/8 inch drive, which covers the common plug hex sizes.

A diesel injection nozzle socket, a brake caliper socket and bit set of 17 pieces, and a groove lock nut socket at 80 to 95mm for Mercedes-Benz Atego. None of these appear in a general set.

It is more forgiving on a fastener whose corners have already started to round, because it engages at twelve points rather than six. On a sound fastener under high torque, hexagon grips better.

Individual sockets are bought to fill a gap rather than to start a set, and that changes what matters. Drive size and socket size have to match what is already owned exactly, since the point is to complete a ladder without duplicating what is in the tray. Buying a whole set to gain one size is the alternative, and it is the more expensive one.

Profile is the second decision and it changes how the socket engages. A hexagon socket bears on the six flats and grips a sound fastener hardest. A bi-hexagon socket has twelve points, so it goes on at half the angle, which matters where the handle can only swing a short arc.

Drive sizes here run 1/4 inch through to 3/4 inch, with the Elora bi-hexagon ladder covering 27mm, 28mm, 32mm and 33mm at 3/4 inch and hexagon sockets starting at 6mm on 1/4 inch drive. Both profiles run through the same size ranges rather than one being reserved for large sizes. Deep and standard lengths run through the same sizes as well, which is the third variable to check.

Specials are the other reason to buy singly, because they exist for one job and no general set carries them. Spark plug sockets at 250mm long in 14mm, 16mm and 18mm reach down a plug well. A diesel injection nozzle socket, a brake caliper socket and bit set and a groove lock nut socket for Mercedes-Benz Atego cover the rest. Questions go over WhatsApp on 07754288583.
