How to choose
Pick the drive size first. 1/4" suits small fasteners, 3/8" is the everyday size, 1/2" is for larger bolts and more leverage, and 3/4" and 1" are for heavy impact work. Sockets and ratchets of the same drive size work together, even across brands.
6-point or 12-point. Both are listed above for the 3/8" and 1/2" sets (RS3400M vs RS3405M, RS4400M vs RS4405M). Check the fasteners you work on before choosing.
Damaged nuts and bolts. See the Nut Twister, Bolt Twister and stud puller sets above.
