We stock 57 different metric individual tools from brands like Genius Tools, Grey Pneumatic, and K Tool International. These tools are essential for mechanics, technicians, and anyone working with metric fasteners.

How do I choose the right size metric socket or wrench?

Choosing the right size is crucial to avoid damaging fasteners. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the equipment you're working on to determine the correct metric size. You can also use a metric measuring tool, such as a caliper, to accurately measure the fastener head.

What are some common applications for metric sockets and wrenches?

Metric sockets and wrenches are widely used in automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and construction. They're essential for tightening and loosening bolts, nuts, and screws on vehicles, engines, and various types of equipment. Brands like Sunex Tools and Chicago Pneumatic offer a range of durable options for these applications.

What should I look for when buying a metric socket set or individual socket?

Consider the drive size (e.g., 1/4", 3/8", 1/2") based on the torque requirements of your tasks. Look for sockets made from high-quality materials like chrome vanadium steel for durability and resistance to corrosion. Also, check the number of points (6-point or 12-point) depending on the application; 6-point sockets are less likely to slip on stubborn fasteners.

What's the difference between a standard and a deep socket?

A standard socket is shorter and designed for general-purpose use where fastener access is unobstructed. A deep socket is longer and allows you to reach fasteners recessed in tight spaces or on long bolts. Consider the accessibility of the fasteners you'll be working with when choosing between standard and deep sockets.

Are your metric tools impact-rated?

Not all metric tools are impact-rated. If you plan to use the tools with an impact wrench, be sure to select sockets and wrenches specifically designed for impact use. These tools are made from stronger materials and are designed to withstand the high torque generated by impact wrenches. Many Genius Tools and Grey Pneumatic products have impact-rated options.

What types of metric wrenches do you offer?

We offer a variety of metric wrenches, including combination wrenches, open-end wrenches, box-end wrenches, and ratcheting wrenches. Each type has its own advantages depending on the application. For example, ratcheting wrenches can speed up work in tight spaces, while combination wrenches offer versatility with both open-end and box-end options.

Do you carry any specialty metric tools?

Yes, ToolSource carries a selection of specialty metric tools, such as flare nut wrenches, crowfoot wrenches, and metric hex key sets. These tools are designed for specific tasks and applications where standard sockets and wrenches may not be suitable. CTA Manufacturing Corp. is one brand that offers a variety of specialty tools.
