Total sockets

It depends mainly on the type of work you’re doing and the tools you already have. Check the drive size (1/4 in or 1/2 in) and the number of pieces, since TOTAL sets typically range from 20 to 44 pieces depending on the model. Some sets come with a metal case for storage and transport, and may include extensions, spark plug sockets, and a sliding bar with a ratchet. For example, you might see a complete 44-piece set with 1/4 and 1/2 in DR, or a 24-piece set in a case with 1/2 in DR—depending on your needs.

Deep sockets provide longer reach to fasteners located under parts, while standard sockets fit more accessible bolts. In this TOTAL range, you can find deep options like a 20 mm Deep Hex Socket, as well as more common non-deep versions in various sizes. Choose the deep profile when there’s limited space around the bolt head or when the bolt is recessed; choose standard for quick tasks and shallow bolts.

For home DIY, a 24-piece set in a metal case (1/2 inch) covers the most common sizes and everyday tasks—like replacing parts or maintaining a light vehicle. For a professional workshop or more varied projects, choose a more complete set with more pieces (for example, 44 pieces) plus extensions, offering a wider range of sizes and more access options. These setups suit simpler needs versus more demanding repairs.

Store sets in their dedicated case and wipe them clean after use to prevent oxidation. Make sure the drive on your tool matches the chosen socket (1/4 or 1/2 inch), and use extensions and the guided bar as needed. Avoid direct impacts and don’t mix different sizes in the same area, as that can damage sockets and the ratchet. Good organization helps extend the lifespan and performance of the tools.

TOTAL sets usually include common metric sizes: some kits cover 10 to 24 mm (with additions like 27, 30, and 32 mm), while others expand the range with extra pieces depending on the model. This variety covers most standard bolts found in home maintenance and light upkeep, while still allowing you to handle more professional requirements when additional sizes are included in the final set.

TOTAL offers versatile, long-lasting sets, often complemented by practical items like extensions, spark plug sockets, and a ratchet—packaged in a convenient case. The variety of contents by model helps align the offering with different use cases, from simple fixes to more technical work—while maintaining a tough finish suitable for frequent use.
