Most Used Socket

[JoeyMitch]

So... what is your most used socket? For me it is 9/16.

 

[mayday0017]

10mm for sure

 

[bcradio]

10, 12, or 14mm are prob used about the same and used the most

 

[skeletonizer]

Tie between 17mm, 3/4", and 13/16" deep impacts and deep chrome on the torque wrench. Lugs.

Otherwise 10mm by far.

 

[Outlawmws]

1/2 & 9/16.

 

[concealer404]

Tie between 10mm and 14mm.

 

[Kyle86]

1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 10mm

Anyone want to guess what I work on mostly?

 

[chris142]

13mm

 

[sometoyotaguy]

10mm since both of my vehicles are Toyotas

 

[bowtiepro3]

10mm 13mm

 

[mayday0017]

All newer Import and Domestic cars/trucks are metric and 10mm can take apart 1/2 of the fasteners on a car so unless you are working on something else 10mm will rule this thread.

 

[SCscoutguy]

It is 1/2" and 9/16" for me as that covers 99.9% of all bolts on my Scout.

 

[jzt]

10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm

 

[Chadwilliam1]

1 1/8

That depends on how many people responding actually work on newer cars...

 

[Outlawmws]

1 1/8

Best answer in the thread (so far)!

I agree. 9/16" 1/4" drive.

9/16 is 3/8 drive territory for me.

 

[evildky]

10mm flex socket 1/4 drive

 

[TwoInch]

9/16 is 3/8 drive territory for me.

me too. i bet my 1/4 drive 9/16 and similar are in like new condition.

 

[tribbles]

10mm and 13mm cover most of the bolts on this Grand Am. Ask me again when I start up on the Firebird.

 

[picshooter]

Used to be 1 1/8 = Prop shaft nuts on outboards. Now it's a 10mm.

 

[twincam00]

10 or 12mm

 

[metaldad]

3/4, 15/16, 1 1/16, 1 1/8, 1 1/4

 

[RedFordTruck]

1/2, 9/16, 3/4 or 10 mm.

 

[DHCrocks]

10mm. a distant second would be 14mm.

 

[RCL]

10mm without a doubt.

 

[machine_punk]

1/2" But, then again, I standardized on 5/16ths as the bolt size I use for building things in my shop.

10-32 is my other standard size for building things in my shop, but that is screwdriver/Allen wrench territory.

But anything which CAN get riveted together in my shop gets riveted together. I tend to use -5's, as long as design principles don't dictate a smaller or larger size. They are big enough to work with easily, but still easier to drive.

I think these are my most used, too.

I also use 8mm and 9mm on bicycles pretty frequently.

 

[1967lemans]

1/2" and 9/16" is what is mostly found on the Scout.

 

[garfunkle24]

10/13/17/19

3/8" drive 13mm flex shallow impact is the single most used.

 

[aussiek2000]

10mm 1/4" drive 6-point semi deep. Most used socket by far. 13, and 15 are distant 2nd and 3rd both semi-deep 3/8".
