Sears has a wide array of socket accessories to make difficult tasks easier. Hard-to-reach places, specialized fasteners and incompatible tools can be challenging. Sears has socket extensions, adapters and automotive tools to get the job done. GearWrench, Armstrong and Craftsman socket accessories make quick work of chores like automotive oil changes, plumbing leaks and gutter repairs.
Sears socket extensions are made for hard-to-reach places. The wrench's reach is several inches longer when an extension connects the ratchet and the socket. This is useful for loosening nuts and bolts when replacing automotive parts. Starter motors, exhaust manifolds and water pumps often have fasteners in places a mechanic's hands could never reach. Use Sears socket extensions for indoor projects like replacing plumbing fixtures and installing appliances.
Sears socket wrenches with flex handles have a pivoting head to better access nuts and bolts where there is little space to turn. For added versatility, some wrenches have different sized drives on one tool. Also handy is the universal joint, which bends at a variety of angles to use sockets in tight places.
Socket wrenches come in different drive sizes. Smaller wrenches tend to have smaller drive heads. Be sure the socket fits on the wrench. When it doesn't, there are alternatives. Sears carries adapters compatible with specialty tools from Craftsman, Armstrong and other manufacturers. Add a socket adapter between the wrench and the socket to make the pieces fit together snugly. Sockets come in metric and standard measurements. The measurements are not close enough to use the two types interchangeably without damaging the tools or the fasteners.
When time is the biggest obstacle to tightening or loosening fasteners, look for socket speeder wrenches to eliminate ratcheting. These tools come in different diameters to fit Sears socket sets. Socket speeder wrenches are most often used on vehicles for spark plugs and other specialized parts. Use GearWrench sockets for oil drain plugs and other projects.
It's important to keep tools organized so that they will be ready when needed. Socket racks are one way to organize Sears sockets and socket accessories. Some racks have clips; others have magnetic holders. Sockets are best sorted by diameter and ratchet head size for easy reference. Sears has tools for every project.
