What is a swivel socket?
The swivel socket is a specially designed metal tool that is used for tightening or release of screws. The socket head turns in different directions to allow the user access to screws in tight spaces or unpleasant angles. The socket is connected to the controller that the user turns and uses strength to release the lever effect or tighten the screw. The swivel designs of the plinth may vary according to the purpose of the tool and the size of the drawer hole may also vary for the location of various screw sizes. Part of the drawer that fits the driver has the end of the ball, which is mounted in the plinth frame. This allows the frame to move by a circular movement in relation to the ball ball, which is connected to the control to apply strength. The joint works similarly to the hip joint of a person that allows a circular movement on the leg. The set of swivel sockets will include several socket sizes with this spherical joint design to allow the plague to allow More flexibility in solving screws of different sizes.
Another type of swivel socket can turn in only one or two directions. Some box keys have a swivel socket at the other end of the tool and the socket only turns forward and backwards. This is a useful addition to the key key, but the user will be limited when applying the socket because it may not be able to turn the direction needed to access the screw in difficult orientation. This situation is commonly encountered when working on car engines on which the screws can be oriented in a special direction or can be placed in a very tight location.
To increase the usability of the rotary socket, the socket can be connected to the extension that is attached to the end of the plug control. This extends the length of the socket, but does not increase the overall mobility of the socket. Most Sockets only turn forward and backward to ensure that the user can apply torque to the control without slipping or not cleaning the screw. One of the disadvantages of using a swivelChildren are reduced unit strength: Adding the joint to the socket always reduces its strength and resistance to torque damage, although most drawers are sufficiently durable for regular use.
