How to Use a Socket Wrench Correctly?

[McAngela]

Place the socket onto the square drive of the matching handle, then fit the socket over the bolt or nut. Hold the connection between the handle and the socket with your left hand to keep the socket coaxial with the bolt being loosened or tightened, and apply force with your right hand by gripping the matching handle. A socket wrench consists of multiple sockets with hexagonal or dodecagonal holes, along with various attachments such as handles and extension bars. It is particularly suitable for turning bolts or nuts in very tight or deeply recessed spaces. When selecting a socket, ensure that it perfectly matches the shape and size of the bolt or nut. An incorrect choice may cause the socket to slip during use, potentially damaging the bolt or nut.
