11P Socket Set (1/4in DR.) – A Handy Tool for Everyday Home Use
When something at home needs fixing or assembling, a simple screwdriver is not always enough. Many household items such as furniture, bicycles, sinks, and even small appliances use hex bolts that require a different tool. This is where the 11P Socket Set (1/4in Drive) becomes very useful. It provides multiple socket sizes and a ratchet handle, making it easy to tighten or loosen bolts quickly and safely.
What is a Hex Socket Wrench?
A hex socket wrench (also called a socket ratchet) is designed to fit around the six sides of a bolt or nut. Unlike a flathead or Phillips screwdriver, it grips the bolt more securely, reducing the chance of slipping. The ratchet handle allows you to turn the bolt with a simple back-and-forth wrist movement, without removing the tool each time. This makes it much faster, especially in tight spaces.
Product Details and Composition
The 11P socket set includes one ratchet handle and ten sockets. Each socket is marked with its size, so you can easily match it to the bolt you are working on.
| Item | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ratchet Handle | 1/4 in. Drive | Length about 145mm, comfortable to hold |
| Sockets | 4mm – 13mm | Covers the most common household bolt sizes |
| Package Size | Approx. 21cm | Compact design, easy to store and carry |
This wide range of socket sizes makes the set practical for different household tasks.
Where Can You Use It at Home?
-
Furniture Assembly
Flat-pack furniture such as chairs, tables, or bed frames often uses hex bolts. With a socket wrench, you can assemble them faster and with less effort compared to a small L-shaped hex key. -
Kitchen and Bathroom Repairs
Under the sink or behind faucets, bolts are often hard to reach. A ratchet with the right socket size lets you tighten or loosen them without struggling in narrow spaces. -
Bicycles and Scooters
Adjusting the seat height, tightening the handlebar, or checking the brake bolts is easy with this set. Having multiple socket sizes is especially helpful because bicycles often use different bolt measurements. -
Cars and Appliances
Car battery terminals, household appliances like fans or vacuum cleaners, and even DIY projects often require a tool like this. One set can handle all these jobs without needing many different tools.
How to Use the Socket Set
-
Choose the Right Socket – Look at the size of the bolt head and pick the socket with the same number (e.g., 8mm, 10mm).
-
Attach the Socket – Push the socket onto the ratchet handle until it clicks into place.
-
Set the Direction – Switch the ratchet lever to “tighten” or “loosen.”
-
Turn the Handle – Move the handle back and forth to rotate the bolt. The ratchet mechanism saves time and effort.
Advantages of the 11P Socket Set
-
Faster Work – No need to remove and reset the tool with each turn.
-
Less Strain – The handle design gives you more grip and control with less force.
-
Versatile – Ten socket sizes cover most small and medium bolts found at home.
-
Compact – Small enough to fit in a toolbox, drawer, or even a backpack.
Safety and Care Tips
-
Always use the correct socket size to avoid damaging the bolt.
-
Do not apply too much force, as this can strip the bolt or crack the socket.
-
After use, wipe the tools to remove dust and moisture to prevent rust.
-
Store in a dry place and keep all parts together to avoid losing sockets.
