Socket wrenches
— wrenches with a working profile in the form of a cap, put on the nut or bolt head from above. The classic version of the socket wrench is an L-shaped tube with a cap in one of the ends, but there may be other design options. Such tools are primarily designed to work with parts that are in recesses and hard to reach for other types of wrenches — for example, with car wheel mounting bolts. Separately, we note that you should not confuse the socket wrench and the handle with interchangeable socket nozzles: in this case, we mean a non-separable tool that does not involve the use of nozzles.Show
