FAQs

Why use a slotted socket bit and ratchet rather than a flathead screwdriver?

Although they can be used for similar applications, using a socket and spinning handle has many advantages. The use of interchangeable sockets ensures that only one wrench is required to work with various sized fasteners, saving both time and money. The combination of a wrench and socket bit provides a much more versatile hand tool that can be used in a wide range of applications, without needing to purchase and carry multiple screwdrivers in different sizes.

What is the overall length of the socket bit?

The overall length of the RS PRO slotted socket bit is 37 mm.
