Milwaukee Square-End Sockets

Whenever I drop a socket, it always rolls under the vehicle I’m working on and comes to a stop completely out of my reach. Milwaukee’s new square-end sockets solve that problem. More important, you can attach a wrench to the square ends and crank up the torque for really stubborn bolts.

The 12-piece socket set (model No. 48-22-9000) includes a pivoting head ratchet, which is great for tight spaces where there isn’t enough room to clear a socket wrench. An extension and a carrying case complete the set, which costs $70 at The Home Depot.
