What is the standard socket set?
Sockets often come as a socket set with many different sizes or types of sockets to fit the heads of different-sized fasteners. A ratchet of the set size is often included with the socket set. Sockets are commonly available in fractional inch and metric sizes, and in short (shallow) and longer (deep) varieties.
What is a pass through socket set?
Pass through sockets. The socket is hollow, which enables long bolts to pass all the way through it and the hole in the ratchet spanner, whilst the socket head fits onto the nut. This means pass through sockets can sometimes be used to remove or replace nuts on very long bolts that even a deep socket cannot reach.
