Sockets & Accessories

About our range of sockets, accessories and adaptors

Without the right socket, it’s easy to make a mess as a mechanic. Whether you’re swapping out the plugs, fiddling with a filter or changing a wheel, having the right socket - and a matching ratchet is crucial. At Halfords, we’ve got all your socket needs covered, from full socket sets to individual elements.

Our range includes:

• - Sockets
• - Bit sockets
• - Wheel nut sockets
• - Spark plug sockets
• - Torx sockets
• - Hex sockets

Every Halfords Advanced socket is cast from chrome vanadium steel. We’re so confident they’ll last a lifetime, we guarantee it. If your part breaks, we’ll replace it for free. As well as sockets, we’ve also got reliable ratchets that will deliver consistent power when it’s needed.

Drive ratchets to suit

We also sell drive ratchets to use with your sockets, and these are available either as a set, or individually. Our ratchets come in all the typical shapes and sizes needed to work on your car or bike, including 1/4 ratchets and 3/8 ratchets.
