Larger drive sizes like 1/2" are better suited for higher torque applications, such as automotive repair, where greater force is needed.

How do I know which metric socket size I need?

The best way to determine the correct metric socket size is to measure the fastener you'll be working with. You can use a metric ruler or caliper to accurately measure the distance across the flats of the bolt or nut. It's always a good idea to have a range of sizes available, especially if you're unsure.
