What’s the best ratchet size?
Drive sizes
- 1/4 inch – Used for smaller sockets and precision work.
- 3/8 inch – The middle sized, and in my opinion, most useful size for general use on a car.
- 1/2 inch – 1/2″ sockets are generally used for nuts and bolts from around 10mm and up.
What size ratchet should I buy?
The rule of thumb is that the drive size of the ratchet and sockets should approximate the diameter of the bolt or nut you want to turn. Thus, when you’re working with fasteners that are more or less 1/4″ or 6mm, use the 1/4″ drive. If you’re working with hardware that’s roughly 3/8″ or 10mm, use the 3/8″ set.
