Square Socket FAQ:

1. Do you make sockets for square bolts? Yes, sockets specifically designed for square bolts are available. These are often termed as "square sockets" and are used for applications where square-headed bolts and screws are encountered.

2. What is the best socket shape? The "best" socket shape depends on the application. Hexagonal (6-point) sockets offer a great balance between accessibility and grip, minimising the risk of stripping the bolt head. However, for specific tasks, the optimal shape could be square, 12-point, or even specialised shapes like Torx.

3. What are the different shaped sockets called? Different shaped sockets include hexagonal (6-point), dodecagonal (12-point), square, Torx (star-shaped), and sometimes special proprietary shapes designed for specific equipment or tasks.

4. What is the square part of a socket called? The square part of a socket that attaches to the ratchet or driver is called the "drive square" or "drive end." The size of the drive square (e.g., 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch etc) determines the torque range and the size of the ratchet it can be attached to.

5. Will a 12 point socket fit a square bolt?  No, always use the correct socket designed for the application. if you're unsure, Applied Torque can advise.
