How to choose
Pick the drive size first. 1/4" suits small fasteners, 3/8" is the everyday size for car work, and 1/2" is for larger bolts and more leverage. Sockets and ratchets of the same drive size work together, even across brands.
Metric or inch. Most KTC sets are metric. For SAE fasteners, look for the inch sets (TMS208B, TS206B, HL259BSP) or the NEPROS NTB306BA inch socket set. NEPROS is KTC's premium line; see our NEPROS NBR390A guide.
KTC or Ko-ken? Both are Japanese makers of sockets and ratchets. Read KTC vs Ko-ken or browse Ko-ken tools.
