Sockets & Accessories
We have a wide range of individual sockets and socket sets including spark plug sockets, impact sockets, and socket adaptors in a variety of different depths including deep impact sockets. We stock 6-sided sockets to ensure you get the best possible grip with minimal chance of rounding, meaning you can complete construction or car maintenance work with confidence and ease. Our sockets are made from high-quality materials, like the high-grade alloy steel in our Halfords Advanced socket sets that also come with a lifetime guarantee. We also have accessories that go perfectly with our selection of sockets, including trays, joints, and extension bars so you can reach further with strength and control.

About our range of sockets, accessories and adaptors
Without the right socket, it’s easy to make a mess as a mechanic. Whether you’re swapping out the plugs, fiddling with a filter or changing a wheel, having the right socket - and a matching ratchet is crucial. At Halfords, we’ve got all your socket needs covered, from full socket sets to individual elements.
Our range includes:
- - Sockets
- - Bit sockets
- - Wheel nut sockets
- - Spark plug sockets
- - Torx sockets
- - Hex sockets
Every Halfords Advanced socket is cast from chrome vanadium steel. We’re so confident they’ll last a lifetime, we guarantee it. If your part breaks, we’ll replace it for free. As well as sockets, we’ve also got reliable ratchets that will deliver consistent power when it’s needed.
Drive ratchets to suit
We also sell drive ratchets to use with your sockets, and these are available either as a set, or individually. Our ratchets come in all the typical shapes and sizes needed to work on your car or bike, including 1/4 ratchets and 3/8 ratchets.
