A socket fits on a ratchet and turns bolts and nuts without damaging their flats. This category gathers sockets, ratchets, extension bars and castellated sockets for steering stem and fork nuts, from brands such as BETA, DRAPER and FACOM.
The 1/4-inch drive suits small bolts, while 3/8-inch covers most work on a motorcycle. For a tight or slightly worn bolt, choose a 6-point socket: it grips better than a 12-point one.
